1.1 Forms of Energy (14 Marks)

Energy is the ability to do work, and it exists in different forms. Here are the main forms of

energy with explanations and real-world examples:

1. Kinetic Energy:

o Definition: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Any object that is moving

possesses kinetic energy, which depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

o Example: A moving car or a thrown baseball. The faster or heavier the object, the

more kinetic energy it has.

2. Potential Energy:

o Definition: Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or

state. It is energy that has the potential to do work.

, o Example: A stretched bow or a rock perched on top of a hill has gravitational

potential energy due to its position.

3. Thermal Energy:

o Definition: Thermal energy (or heat energy) is the internal energy present in a

system due to the random motion of its molecules. It’s related to temperature; the

hotter an object, the more thermal energy it possesses.

o Example: A cup of hot coffee has thermal energy, and an oven heating food

transfers thermal energy to the food.

4. Chemical Energy:

o Definition: Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.

When these bonds are broken during chemical reactions, energy is released or

absorbed.

o Example: Food contains chemical energy, which our bodies use to perform work.

Gasoline also contains chemical energy, which is released during combustion in

an engine.

5. Electrical Energy:

o Definition: Electrical energy is the energy carried by moving electrons in an

electric conductor. This is a widely used form of energy in modern technology.

o Example: Powering household appliances like televisions or computers involves

using electrical energy.

6. Light Energy (Radiant Energy):
