Kinetic energy (K.E.)
Possessed by moving objects; the faster it moves, the
< Back more K.E. it has.
Next > Potential energy (P.E.)
Stored in an object because of its position or
condition; the higher the position, the greater its P.E.
Heat energy
Possessed by hot object; can be detected by our skin.
Light energy
