Types of energy Energy Mechanical Non- mechanical kinetic Internal energy Chemical plactric W anes - AEr E,- PE + KE + Q PHYSICS: TYPES OF ENERGY Types of mechanical energy ENERGY Objects off the ground have potential energy - Energy in motion. If an object has it has kinetic energy- Energy due to a push or pull. Work involves force. Potential energy Gravitational Energy Energy based upon an object's position. Height Difference Three variables affect potential energy; off the ground of object . PE = (M)(G)(H) Kinetic energy Energy based upon an object's KINET ENERG Two variables affect kinetic energy: An object's of object KE = 12 (m)(v=)
