Types of  Energy


Energy is the ability to do work. There are several types of energy, depending on what they are used to: Chemical energy: Occurs from chemical reactions released from food breakdown, an example is the food that we eat, going to our stomach, gives us energy to do our daily journey.
The other type of energy is electrical energy: an example of it, is our light bulbs, they are able to shine due to the electricity they receive from the wires.There is another type of energy, which is kinetic energy: this is the one that provides motion, every single object in motion does have kinetic energy. We have to take into account potential energy also: this is the energy stored inside the objets when they are at a high position from the ground. It's also known that 'Energy can neither be destroyed nor created, but it can transform from one form of energy to anoher'.
Finally, the mix of potential and kinetic energy is known as mechanical energy.
