Energy


 * Kinetic energy** is energy of motion. A rubber band flying through the air has kinetic energy. When you are walking or running your body is exhibiting kinetic energy. **Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy**. Before the yo-yo begins its fall it has stored energy due to its position. At the top it has its maximum potential energy. As it starts to fall the potential energy begins to be changed into kinetic energy. At the bottom its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy so that it now has its maximum kinetic energy. A waterfall has both potential and kinetic energy. The water at the top of Bridal Veil Falls has stored potential energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. This change in energy also happens at Niagara Falls where it is used to provide electricity from the transformation of mechanical and electromagnetic energy to parts of the northeastern United States.

What is Energy Energy is the ability to do some thing. All food sources have chemical energy. There are 12 types of energy. The main 2 types of energy are kinetic and potential.

SOLAR Solar energy is energy is energy from the sun. Solar is expensive. Now days 0.10% of everything is powered by solar energy. GEOTHERMAL Geothermal is energy created by heat. The Greeks used geothermal energy for industrial purposes. Steam spins turbines.

RENEWABLE/NON RENEWABLE Renewable energy can be reproduced. Non-renewable: non-renewable energy can’t be reproduced.
