Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of an object with mass..Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field.Nuclear energy is the energy within the nuclei of atoms which can be released when the particles of the nuclei are rearranged..Electrical energy is the energy of electrical charges due to their position in an electric field.Chemical energy is the energy contained within the chemical bonds between atoms that can be released when atoms are rearranged.Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of a reversible change in its shape.Electromagnetic energy is the energy associated with all electromagnetic waves stored within the oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Internal energy is the sum of the random kinetic and potential energies of atoms in a system Sound energy is the energy of mechanical waves due to the movement of atoms.
