Energy appears in many forms and is used in different ways. The main forms of energy are: mechanical, chemical, electrical, thermal, light and nuclear.
Mechanical energy:
Energy that produces movement is called mechanical energy. It's the energy that enables people and things to move, go faster or change direction.
We also use mechanical energy to change the direction that an object is travelling in.
What types of mechanical energy are there?
There are two types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.
Kinetic energy: this is energy in the form of movement.
Potential energy: this is energy in the form of potential movement, when tou lift an object, you give it potential energy.
