List four kinds of energy. Give a brief definition of each.

he different types of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, motion energy, sound energy, elastic energy and gravitational energy.

Explanation:

Thermal energy-The kinetic energy associated with the random motions of the molecules of a material or object; often used interchangeably with the terms heat and heat energy.

Radiant energy-is the energy of electromagnetic waves. ... Electromagnetic radiation is made up of tiny particles called photons – think of them as little packets of energy. Light energy is a form of radiant energy that is visible to the human eye

Chemical energy-Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. ... The chemical energy in food is converted by the body into mechanical energy and heat.

Nuclear energy- also called atomic energy, energy that is released in significant amounts in processes that affect atomic nuclei, the dense cores of atoms. It is distinct from the energy of other atomic phenomena such as ordinary chemical reactions, which involve only the orbital electrons of atoms.

Electrical energy- s 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. ... The movement of charged particles through a wire or other medium is called current or electricity.

Motion energy-also known as mechanical energy – is the energy stored in moving objects. As the object moves faster, more energy is stored. Motion energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Sound energy- is the movement of energy through a substance – such as air or water – in the form of waves. It is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate.
