Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about different kinds of energy. So, what is energy? Energy is in everything – it is often described as 'the ability to do work'. There are 8 different kinds of energy. Heat energy, kinetic energy, sound energy, light, electric energy, elastic potential, chemical potential and the gravitational energy.
Our task is to explain what they are and what they do...
The heat energy the transfer of energy in materials from the random movement of the particles in that material. The greater the random movement of particles the more heat energy it has and produces.
Temperature is a measure of the heat energy of a material.
Kinetic energy, it energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. In simple words, it allows anything to move..
Sound energy, Sound energy is vibrating particles. because it is based on vibrations, sound energy must travel through something, if you have a vacuum is space such as a black hole there could be no sound, it is really interesting because a black hole is a really large event that can happen in space but it has no sound.
How Cool is that!..
Light energy, Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy capable of allowing lots of forms of lights visible to the human eyes.
The sun produces the light that we see on earth, it doesn't just produce light, it also produces heat and electrical energy. Electric energy, electric energy is energy derived as a result of movement of electrons. So what are electrons?
It is a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
Elastic energy is an energy that produces energy by stretching something. for example stretching a rubber band..
Chemical energy can be described for a lot of things, chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
An example of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, food, and gasoline.
At last, gravitational energy, As you may have guessed, gravitational energy is energy associated with gravity. It is the potential energy stored by an object because of its higher position compared to a lower position.
Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its centre.
Stop motion.
