GUARANTEED DISTINCTION.
1.1 Define and explain the different forms of energy, providing real-world examples for each. (Focus
on the following forms of energy; Kinetic energy; potential energy; thermal energy; chemical energy;
electrical energy, light energy, and sound energy). (14)
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is possessed by an object due to its motion and is directly
proportional to its mass and the square of its velocity. Real-world examples include a moving car, a
swinging pendulum, or a flowing river.
Potential Energy
Potential energy is stored energy that an object has because of its position or state. Examples include a
stretched rubber band (elastic potential energy), a book on a shelf (gravitational potential energy), or a
charged battery (chemical potential energy).
