(kinetic) energy of motion: running. car.

radiant

(kinetic) electromagnetic waves that travel from an energy source: sun. light bulb

thermal

(kinetic) energy of the random motion of a particle, moving faster = hotter.: cup of hot coffee/tea

electrical (k)

(kinetic) electrons moving along a wire: charging a device.

sound

(kinetic) vibrations that make sound: listening to music

chemical

(potential) stored in a chemical bond: eatting food: food turned into energy for body.

gravitational

(potential) postition of an object relevant to a refrence point: dropping something: moves to the ground
