What is electrical energy?

• The energy that an electric current carries. When you plug something in, this energy flows.
• Energy carried in waves of vibrating matter. It cannot travel through empty space (it MUST have matter to travel)
• Energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched like springs or rubber bands.

What is mechanical energy?

• Stored energy that is released when the nucleus of atoms are split apart or fused together.
• The energy formed due to an object's motion, position or condition. It is both kinetic and potential.
• The energy due to the movement of atoms or molecules that make up an object. This energy moves from warmer objects to colder objects.
• The energy from the sun carried by electromagnetic waves. It can move through empty space (no matter needed).
