what is the difference between forms of energy and types of energy??
Answers
Types of energy refer to different types of potential (chemical, nuclear, etc.) and kinetic (heat, sound, etc.) energy.
Energy can change from one form to another. A good example is a Roller Coaster. When it is on its way up, it is using kinetic energy since the energy is in motion. When it reaches the top it has potential (or stored) energy.
Potential energy comes in forms that are stored, including - Chemical, Gravitational and Nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work - Like electrical, heat, light, motion and sound. Difference between them both are, Potential energy can be stored and Kinetic energy is already doing work and can't be stored.
Difference between forms of energy and types of energy.
Forms of energy
- There are two forms of energy , i.e , potential energy and kinetic energy.
- The form of energy which is at rest is known as potential energy and the other one which is in motion is termed as kinetic energy.
Types of energy
- There are various types of energy , i.e , electrical , chemical , mechanical , nuclear , thermal , gravitational etc which is stored within energy storage devices for further usage.
- All these types of energy are the used in various devices , field works etc depending upon the necessity of work.
