The teacher told Fatima that all types of energy are kinetic energy, potential energy, or both. Fatima drew this diagram to help her organize this information. She then sorted each type of energy into its correct category: chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, mechanical, nuclear, and thermal. An illustration of a Venn diagram with the label Potential energy in the left circle, Kinetic energy in the right circle, and both in the shared middle part of the two circles.

Three of the types of energy can be either kinetic or potential energy. Identify these three types. For each type, explain why it can be either kinetic or potential.

chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, mechanical, nuclear, and thermal.
