This document discusses different forms of energy including light, heat, sound, electrical, solar, magnetic, chemical, nuclear, and mechanical energy. It defines potential energy as the energy possessed by an object due to its position or state of strain, and kinetic energy as the energy possessed by objects due to their motion. Examples are provided for potential energy such as water in a dam and a drawn bow, and for kinetic energy such as a moving ball and shot from a gun. Energy can be transferred between different forms but is never created or destroyed according to the law of conservation of energy.

2. ENERGY

3. Energy is the capacity to
do work

4. Forms of Energy
• Light energy
• Heat energy
• Sound energy
• Electrical energy
• Solar energy
• Magnetic energy
• Chemical energy
• Nuclear energy
• Mechanical energy

5. Different Forms Of Mechanical Energy
• Potential Energy
• Mechanical Energy

6. POTENTIAL ENERGY
The energy possessed by a body
due to its position or state of strain
is called its potential energy.
If a body of mass m is at a height
h its potential energy is mgh.
Examples:
Water stored in a dam
A drawn bow

7. KINETIC ENERGY
Kinetic energy is the energy
possessed by objects by
virtue of their motion.
The kinetic energy of a body
of mass m and velocity v is,
K.E=½ mv2
Examples: Hitting the ball.
Shot moving from
the gun.

9. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy can neither be created nor be
destroyed. But one form of energy can be
transformed to another form without gain or
loss.
