Types of Energy

Energy

As the ability to cause damage

Kinetic energy

The energy and object has because it is in motion

Electric energy

The energy that an electric current carries is a form of kinetic energy

Chemical Energy

Is energy that is stored in and released from the bonds between atoms

Energy

Energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom

Mechanical Energy

The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system of objects

Thermal Energy

Is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles that make up an object .

Sound energy

Is energy carried by sound waves

Seisimic Energy

Is the energy transferred by waves moving through the ground

Radiant energy

The energy carried by electromagnetic waves

Conductor

Is a material that helps heat and electricity flow through

Insulator

Its losing energy from the system to the surroundings

Negative A^

The branch of science studying heat , energy, and the ability of that energy to do work

Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created and it cannot be destroyed . Also known as the law of conservation of energy .

First law of thermodynamics , and law of conservation of energy

Energy contained within a system because of its position

Potential energy

Its gaining energy from the surroundings . That's the case if work on the system or heat is transferred to the system .

Positive A^

The rapid oxidation of chemical compounds and as it results in a heat flow out of the system we call that an exothermic reaction

Burning is exothermic reaction

A^

The change in the energy of the system is equal to the heat plus the work

It is important to realize that in physics today we have no knowledge of what energy is

Nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman said

Anything warmer than absolute zero has thermal energy , even very cold things . This basically means that all of the indiviual atoms and molecules are jiggling imperceptibly. Only at absolute zero would they stop jiggling

What has thermal energy

Energy

Everything is energy

Occur when heat flows into the system

Endothermic reactions

Lowercase q

The most common symbol of heat
