This document discusses different forms of energy and energy transformations. It identifies six main types of energy: mechanical, radiant, electrical, thermal, chemical, and nuclear. Mechanical energy can be kinetic or potential energy and is the energy of motion or position of an object. Thermal energy is heat and chemical energy is stored in molecular bonds. Energy can be transformed from one form to another through both internal and external sources, but the total amount of energy remains constant according to the law of conservation of energy. Examples of energy transformations include mechanical to electrical in generators and chemical to thermal in engines.
