Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the object’s motion.Kinetic energy depends on both, the mass and the speed of an object. But, it depends on speed more than it depends on mass. A small increase in speed causes a large increase in kinetic energy because in the equation, speed is squared.
Types of Kinetic Energy
Radiant Energy
Is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves.includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves.
Example
The light of the sun
Thermal Energy
Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.
Example
The heat from a heater.
Motion Energy
is the energy stored in moving objects.As the object moves faster, more energy is stored. Motion energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.
Example
A shark swimming
Sound Energy
Is the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate.
Example
The sound of a on fan
Electrical Energy
is delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire.Energy is the ability to do work or apply force to move an object. In the case of electric energy, the force is electrical attraction or repulsion between charged particles.
Example
Wind Turbins
