Two Categories of Forms of Energy

There are two main categories of forms of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and includes examples like a running girl or a basketball player dunking a ball. Potential energy is the stored energy an object has due to its position or state, such as a rock balanced at the top of another rock. Within these two categories there are several specific forms of energy, including mechanical, chemical, thermal, nuclear, electrical, sound, electromagnetic, and others. The document discusses examples of each form of energy.
