Energy comes in many forms including potential, kinetic, light, heat, electrical, sound, chemical, and nuclear. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or condition, like a ball held above the ground. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion from an object's mass and speed. Different renewable and non-renewable resources like the sun, wind, water, plants and fossil fuels can be used to generate energy through various processes of energy conversion and transfer. However, some energy sources also have disadvantages like being non-renewable, producing pollution, or having intermittent availability.

1. energy
● Energy is the ability to do work.
● Both living and non-living systems need to function.
FORMS OF ENERGY
Potential Kinetic Light Heat Electrical Sound

2. Potential energy
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in a body
as a result of its position/condition.
There are 4 different
forms of potential
energy:
(a) gravitational
potential energy
(b) elastic potential
energy
(c) chemical energy
(d) nuclear energy

3. Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy is the energy that is
stored in a body as a result of its elevated position.
When a wreck ball is raised
above the ground, it stores
energy due to its elevated
(raised) position in the air.

4. (a) Same Height, Different Mass
The greater the mass of an object and its height from the
ground, the greater the gravitational potential energy
Higher gravitational Lower gravitational
potential energy potential energy
If both of the trees
are at the same
height, a coconut has
higher gravitational
potential energy
compared to an apple
because the mass is
greater.

5. (b) Same Mass, Different Height
Higher gravitational
potential energy An apple of the same
mass falling from a high-
rise building has higher
gravitational potential
energy compared to the
lower buildings.
Lower gravitational
potential energy

6. elastic Potential Energy
Elastic potential energy is the energy that is stored in a
object (an elastic object) when it is pushed or pulled.
Spring is an example
of elastic object. It can
be pulled down when
a weight is attached to
it and spring back to
Spring its original shape when
the weight is removed.

7. When an elastic object is pushed or pulled, it stores
energy which can be released to do work.
❶ When the bow is stretched, the string of the
bow stores some elastic potential energy.
❷ Once he releases
the string, the
energy stored in the
string will push the
arrow forward and
work is done.

8. Chemical Energy
Chemical energy is the energy that is
stored in food, fuels and electric cells,
which holds the atoms and molecules
of the substances together

9. Oxygen Sugar Carbon Water Energy
dioxide
Energy is
released when
our food is
broken down
into smaller
molecules.

10. nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is the energy that is stored in the nucleus
of an atom and is released during nuclear reactions.
A lot of nuclear energy is needed to
Nucleus
hold the protons and neutrons together
in the nucleus of an atom. Thus, large
amount of energy is released during
nuclear reactions.
Solid Liquid Gas

11. kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is an energy that a body possesses due to its
motion. All the things that are moving possess kinetic energy.

12. The Effect of Mass and Speed
High speed, high kinetic energy
Kinetic energy depends on speed. The faster an object
moves, the greater the kinetic energy. That's why high-
speed crashes are more severe and more likely to be fatal.

13. Truck Car
Mass: 10,000 kg Mass: 500 kg
Speed: 100 km/h Speed: 100 km/h
High mass, high kinetic energy
If two objects are traveling at the same speed, the
object with a larger mass will have larger kinetic energy.
Thus, a truck has more kinetic energy than a car
