what are at least 5 different forms of energy?

Answer 1

Light, sound, kinetic, potential, mechanical.

Answer 2

FORMS of ENERGY
Energy is found in different forms, such as light, heat, sound and motion. There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: kinetic and potential.

Kinetic energy is motion––of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects.

Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position––gravitational energy. There are several forms of potential energy.

TYPES OF ENERGY
Energy is the power we use for transportation, for heat and light in our homes and for the manufacture of all kinds of products. There are two sources of energy: renewable and nonrenewable energy.

Answer 3

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy
"- Potential energy
Gravitational potential energy
Elastic potential energy
- Kinetic energy
- Thermal energy
- Electrical energy
- Magnetic energy
- Electromagnetic fields
- Chemical energy
- Nuclear energy"

Then according to Einstein there are five fundamental forces of the universe: The Strong nuclear force, the Weak nuclear force, Gravity, Electricity and Magnetism. However, his Unified Field theory says that they are all the same force. So far science has proven that all of them, except for gravity, are the same force; electricity.

Your teacher is probably looking for Einstein’s fundamental forces, but the others are just as valid. Then you can tell your teacher that there aren’t 5 forces there are only two, electricity and gravity. Every other force is just an expression of one of those forces in a different way.

Answer 4

Forms of Energy
Energy is found in different forms, such as light, heat, sound and motion. There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: kinetic and potential.

Electrical Energy is the movement of electrical charges. Everything is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are made of even smaller particles called electrons, protons, and neutrons. Applying a force can make some of the electrons move. Electrical charges moving through a wire is called electricity. Lightning is another example of electrical energy.

Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Solar energy is an example of radiant energy.

Thermal Energy, or heat, is the internal energy in substances––the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within substances. Geothermal energy is an example of thermal energy.

Motion Energy is the movement of objects and substances from one place to another. Objects and substances move when a force is applied according to Newton’s Laws of Motion. Wind is an example of motion energy.

Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. It is the energy that holds these particles together. Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are examples of stored chemical energy.

Stored Mechanical Energy is energy stored in objects by the application of a force. Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands are examples of stored mechanical energy.

Nuclear Energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom––the energy that holds the nucleus together. The energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart. Nuclear power plants split the nuclei of uranium atoms in a process called fission. The sun combines the nuclei of hydrogen atoms in a process called fusion. Scientists are working on creating fusion energy on earth, so that someday there might be fusion power plants. http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/science/formsofenergy.html
