Different Types of Energy

Dr. Forrester introduces various types of energy, including potential, kinetic, mechanical, chemical, sound, light, and heat energy. The video explains how energy is measured by the work it does, with examples illustrating each type. Potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is energy in motion. Mechanical energy involves the motion of objects, and chemical energy is released during chemical reactions. Sound energy is created by vibrations, and light energy involves electromagnetic radiation. Heat energy, or thermal energy, is the transfer of heat between substances.
