Study Notes
Types of Energy
- Potential energy is stored in an object, ready to be used, but not currently in motion.
- Kinetic energy is associated with the movement of atoms and molecules, responsible for creating heat.
- Mechanical energy travels through waves, requiring matter (such as air or water) to propagate.
- Electrical energy uses electric current to do work, able to cause things to heat, move, or light up.
