types of energy?

Question

someone tell me teh types of energy, and explain how they are used along with some examples.

Answer 1

dolphins -- used to power my one of a kind locomotive

Answer 2

the 2 main kinds of energy are potential and kinetic

Kinetic energy is the energy contained in a moving mass or in a moving particle (a particle is a tiny bit of matter).

Electrical energy, for example, is the flow of charged particles called electrons or ions. When electrons are flowing through a wire or through hundreds of feet of air (an event we call lightning) it is because they are being "pushed" or forced by an electrical field. This field is caused by a difference in electrical charge. A force is exerted on the electrons and they move. Work is done on the charged particles. A force is pushing them through a distance. Actually, they are hopping from atom to atom, being pushed by an electromotive force. While the electrons are moving they contain kinetic energy. So at the itsy-bitsy atomic level electricity is a form of kinetic energy.

Mechanical energy is the useful way we sometimes refer to things like gears, engines, locomotives pulling trains, canon balls flying through the air, or other examples of energy in mechanical devices. But, of course, by now you see that all these moving parts contain kinetic energy. They are really just different modes of kinetic energy - the energy contained in a moving mass. In order to get these various objects spinning or rolling, a force has to be exerted. Work is a force acting through a distance, so the way they get moving and keep moving is by having work done on them. Work is an energy transfer process.

Chemical energy is another term we use a lot. This is more vague. We say things like, "during combustion, chemical energy is released". Hmmm. The term chemical energy refers to energy that is stored in molecular bonds, the forces that hold molecules together. So releasing chemical energy must mean the energy is finally free from its molecular bonds. In the more general sense, of course, it is potential energy.

potential energy is the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system.

Thermal Energy This seems generally to be used as another term for internal energy or heat content.

Answer 3

Energy as relates to energy/matter comes in 4 types.
Gravity- Gravitational effects
Strong force- The force that bonds protons & neutrons
Weak Force - The radiaton of sub-atomic particle decay
Electromagnetic - Light, Radio waves, electricity...

Answer 4

Do you mean energy fuel? If so:

fossil fuels--petro
fission--Chernobyl was a bad example
hydroelectric--creating energy through water
biomass--ex. burning wood
solar--solar panels
wind--those "wind mills" which generate power
Geothermal--using pockets in the earth with high heat
fusion--I'm not sure how this works

Answer 5

kenetic-something moving forward like a ball goin up in the air
gravitational-like the ball moving down toward the ground
elastic-like an elastic
nuclear-stores energy-makes electricity
sound energy-caused by vibration-talking
light energy-light bouncing off things to our eyes messange goes to brain
chemical energy-produced by chemical-our bodies use this-yeast in bread
heat energy-used to cook-stove
electrical energy-moving parts-operate lights-computer
magnetic-push/pull-magnet

Answer 6

Hi. One answer is potential and kinetic energy. Another is chemical, nuclear, solar etc. Not sure what you need.

Answer 7

some energy tht powers something!lol
thanks 4 the 2 points!

Answer 8

Solar, thermal, kinetic to name a few.

Answer 9

do not know
