This document discusses the different forms of energy: 1) Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects. Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. 2) Radiant energy is also known as light or electromagnetic energy and moves in waves. Heat energy comes from atomic and molecular vibrations. 3) Chemical energy holds atoms and molecules together in foods, fuels, and other substances. Electrical energy involves the movement of electrons. 4) Sound energy moves in waves from vibrating objects. Elastic energy is stored potential energy in stretched or compressed materials like springs. 5) Nuclear energy resides in atomic nuclei and can be released through fusion or fission in nuclear power plants.
