Forms of Energy Review

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass and velocity of the object.

Velocity has a greater effect on kinetic energy.

Velocity and kinetic energy have a direct relationship; as velocity increases, kinetic energy increases.

Visible light is an example of radiant energy.

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons, often used to power devices.

Mass and kinetic energy have a direct relationship; as mass increases, kinetic energy increases.

Plugging a light into an outlet is an example of using electrical energy.

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.
