Forms of Energy

Forms of Energy- 4.6A

M.E.L.T.S

M= Mechanical energy

is a form of energy. It is all the energy that an object has because of its motion and its position. All living things and all machines use mechanical energy to do work.

*HINT: If it MOVES, it is mechanical energy. Remember, m in mechanical is for moves.

E= Electrical

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge. Energy is the ability to do work or apply force to move an object.

HINT: Electrical has an E for Energy and Electricity. If it is plugged, it is electrical.

L = Light

Light energy is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye and travels in waves.

T = Thermal

Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy.

HINT: T is for Temperature. Temperature has heat. Thermal = Heat

S = Sound

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves. Sound energy is the physical vibration waves that travel through the air to reach the ears.
