Answer:
There are different types of energy in nature. In this problem, the types of energy listed are:
- Energy that comes from a moving object, or objects that have stored energy : mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is of two types:
- Energy that comes from the movement of particles: thermal energy
In every substance, particles are constantly in random motion: the faster they move on average, the more the energy stored in the substance. This energy is called thermal energy.
- Energy that comes from moving electrons : electric energy
When we have a flow of charged particles moving, we say that they form a current. This current, which is a flow of charges, carries an energy, which is called electric energy
- Energy that occurs when nuclear bonds split or fuse together : nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is the energy contained within the nuclei of the atoms. It is a huge amount of energy, that can be released through two processes:
- Energy that comes through waves from space: electromagnetic energy
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields - these waves are the only waves able to travel in a vacuum, and they carry energy as well, called electromagnetic energy
