Chemical energy is a form of energy.
Coal is an energy resource - it is a store of chemical energy.
Energy forms
The main forms of The capacity of a system to do work or the quantity required for mechanical work to take place. Measured in joules (J). For example, a man transfers 100 J of energy when moving a wheelbarrow. are:
- chemical
- heat
- electrical
- sound
- light
- magnetic
- Energy stored in squashed, stretched or twisted materials. or strain energy
- The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
- The energy stored by an object lifted up against the force of gravity. Also known as GPE.
- nuclear
Energy is measured in joules, J.
Remember that 1000 J = 1 kJ.
1 J is approximately the energy needed to lift an average sized apple 1 m vertically above a table.
