1. Mechanical energy: This can be either potential or kinetic and has to do with the energy of position and motion of an object.
2. Kinetic energy: This has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has, basically how the object is moving.
3. Potential energy: This type of energy is stored energy, it can be increased by getting into a higher position and/or stretching an object such as a rubber band.
4. Electrical energy: This is energy, which is transferred by the movement of electrons through a conductor.
5. Light energy: This is radiant energy from the Sun, it is the only kind of energy one can see with the eyes.
6. Thermal energy: This kind of energy can be transferred in three distinct ways 1) direction contact through collisions (also called conduction), 2) through a fluid making a current created by less dense fluids floating and more dense fluids sinking (also called convection), and 3) by waves traveling with or without a medium (also called radiation).
7. Sound energy: This kind of energy travels through vibrations on waves.
8. Chemical energy: This kind of energy is usually found in things like food or batteries.
9. Nuclear energy: This is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom.
10. Energy conversions: This is the term used when energy changes from one form to another.
