Answers and Explanation:

Forms of Kinetic energy

Translational kinetic energy

Rotational kinetic energy
Vibrational kinetic energy

Forms of Potential energy

Gravitational potential energy

Electrostatic potential energy

Elastic potential energy

chemical potential energy

Energy efficiency is a measure of the amount of energy conserved in a process. It is the ratio of the output energy to the input energy.

Differences between renewable and non renewable energy

Renewable energy can replenish themselves by recycling and replacement while non-renewable energy cannot
Renewable energy are continuously available while non renewable energy are exhausted
Renewable energy has low carbon emission and hence environment friendly while non renewable energy has high carbon emission and not environmental friendly

Sources of renewable energy

Solar energy.

Wind energy.

Hydro energy.

Tidal energy.

Geothermal energy.

Biomass energy.

Sources of non-renewable energy

Coal

Petroleum

Natural gas
