Potential energy

r

Potential energy is the energy that stored energy dur to a body's position or condition.

Chemical potential energy

r

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in fuels such as pestrol and food that can be released through chemical reactions.

Gravitational potential energy

r

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has because its position or location,i.e.when it is in a higher position with respect to the ground,it has more gravitational potential energy than in a lower position.

Elastic potential energy

r

Elastic potential energy is the energy an object has when it is streched or composed.

Potential n Kinectic energy

Kinectic energy

r

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body has due to its motion.

Rotational Kinetic Energy

r

this energy comes through rotation of the object along some specific axis of rotation.Example are;Flywheels, planets and stars rotate on their own axis called as spin rotational kinetic energy.

Rotational kinetic energy is an integral part of the total kinetic energy of a system that is possessed by the virtue of motion of the object about an axis of rotation. Stated simply, the energy possessed by rotation of rigid body about any line through the center of mass, is rotational kinetic energy

Relativistic Kinetic Energy

Heat energy(Thermal energy)

r

Heat energy is the energy that flows from regions of higher temperature to one at lower temperature.

Solar Thermal Energy

r

This is perhaps the most commonly harnessed thermal energy form we can see around us.

Ocean Thermal Energy

r

This type of thermal energy is harnessed by utilizing the difference between the temperatures of the deep and shallow water areas in the oceans.

Geothermal Energy

r

This is the energy that is generated from the radioactive decay of various natural minerals and from volcanic activities that is contained in the earth's crust. This thermal energy is both produced by and stored inside the earth's crust.

Renewable energy

r

Renewable Energy is a form of energy generated from natural resources like wind, sunlight, rain, tides and geothermal heat. They are naturally replenished and are not easily exhausted.

Solar energy

r

The radiations and heat of the sun and power generated through it is collectively called solar energy.

Wind energy

r

The all pervasive wind when harnessed properly to gain another form of energy it is the wind power at work. Wind power is most often used to generate electricity through turbines.

Biomass energy

r

Biomass energy resources can be efficiently used to solve most of the energy-related problems that we face today

Sound energy

r

Sound energy is the energy produced when objects vibrate.

Electrical energy

r

Electricity or eletrical energy is the energy that results from the flow of charged particles.

MUSIC ;Made by the mixture of sound and light energy!

Light energy(Luminous energy)

r

Light energy is the energy that enables us to see.The SI unit of luminous energy is the lumen second(lm/s).

Ways to save energy.

1.Start by remembering to switch off all your lights and fans when you leave the room.

2.Use only energy saving lights known as CFLs that save about 20%-30% energy and help you reduce your bills.

3.Do not leave your electronic appliance on standby.Though not in use, these electronics consume a lot of energy and up your bills tremendously.

4.Choose appliances that all have energy star ratings. All these use much lesser energy and function as efficiently as any other electronic appliances.

5.Make the most of solar energy by hanging your clothes out to dry in the sun rather than using your dryer. This method not only saves energy, but has your clothes smelling and feeling fresh!

6.With winters around, set your thermostat at 68 degrees during the day and at 55 degrees during the evening to keep cozy. This temperature keeps you warm enough and also consumes lesser energy.

7.One of the many ways to save energy at home is to ensure that you don't leave the refrigerator door open for too long while deciding what you want from it. Doing so consumes a lot of electricity, and may also spoil your refrigerator over time.

8.Don't spoil yourself and your kids by using your car to take you everywhere. Instead use alternative energy sources that will also give you some exercise apart from saving energy. Try cycling, skating, or walking to your destination. It allows your to spend more time together, and keeps your healthy too.

9.Use water heaters that function on solar power. Don't allow your water heater to be on for longer than you need it

10.Don't leave the shower on when you don't need it while bathing. This will help you save both a lot of water and electricity.

11.Service all your appliances on a regular basis, so that they work efficiently without consuming too much energy.
