Well I think you guys need a reminder on types of Energy! Don't you think ?
SO WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT AGAIN? OH RIGHT THE TYPES OF ENERGY!
Apparently so I've always wondered what types of energy there and what they are used for
Well you guys are both in luck today as we are going to be defining 8 types of energy today which are very important for you two to know.
Wait Sir I remember now, kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or particle has by reason of its motion. Basically anything that moves are examples of that form.
The energies that we are defining today include: kinetic, heat, light, sound, electrical, elastic potential, gravitational potential chemical potential energy
My parents had also told me that heat energy is the result of movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids gases.
Okay then, light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes.Some examples include: bulbs, lasers hot objects
Sound energy is the physical vibration waves that travel through the air to reach the ears signalling to the brain to interpret incoming sounds.
You know, you guys are absolutely correct let me what else you know so we can see what things we had in common about what we know !
Thank you sir. Anyways moving on Elastic Potential Energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.Examples include: a bent diving board, a bouncy ball, coil spring of a wind-up clock etc.
Electrical energy is energy derived as a result of movement of electrically charged particles.Some examples are: batteries, lightening and many more.
Now i don't really feel like a science teacher if i'm not telling you some things to add on your expert knowledge. I shall explain one type too !
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.An example is a rollercoaster
One more form of energy we were going to discuss was chemical potential energy.Chemical potential energy is energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds like molecules atoms.-examples of it are batteries, natural gas coal.
