Energy

renewable energy
1. can be renewed over a short amount of time
  1. Is also a reliable source of energy and is not easily depleted
2. examples
  1. wood
  2. water
  3. solar
  4. wind
non-renewable energy
1. take millions of years to form
  1. a unreliable scoure of energy as it can be depleted easily
2. examples
  1. oil
  2. natural gas
  3. coal
  4. nuclear
there are many different forms of energy
1. examples
  1. electrical
    1. Example: electrical socket
    2. Electric energy is the energy created by electrons moving through an electrical conductor.
  2. heat
    1. Thermal energy is what we call energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal energy.
    2. Example: the sun
  3. kinetic
    1. Example: rolling ball
    2. It is energy possessed by an object due to its motion or movement.
  4. elastic
    1. Example: stretch rubber band
    2. Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape.
  5. nuclear
    1. Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.
    2. Example: nuclear power plants
  6. chemical
    1. Example: batteries
    2. Chemical Energy is released when bonds form in a chemical reaction
  7. gravitational
    1. Gravitational Potential energy is only stored in the height of the object.
    2. Examples: apple on a tree
  8. sound
    1. Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate — the energy is transferred through the substance in a wave.
    2. Example: speakers
  9. light
    1. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means.
    2. Example: a laser pointer
  10. thermal
    1. Example: fire
    2. thermal energy refers to the internal energy present in a system due to its temperature.
