TYPES OF ENERGY. KYNETIC ENERGY:Is energy that is in motion.Moving water and wind are good examples of kinetic energy. Electricity is also kinetic energy because even though you can't seen it happen,electriciy involves electrons moving in condustors POTENTIAL ENERGY:Energy is measured in the amount of "work"it does.Potential energy is stored energy.Examples of potential energy are oil sitting in a barrel,or water in a lake in the mountains.This energy is referredn to as potential energy,because if it were released,it would do a lot of work. Energy can change from one form to another.A good example is a Roller Coaster.When it is on its way up,it is using kynetic energy since the energy is in motion.When it reaches the top it has potential (or stored)energy.When it goes down the hill it is using kinetic energy again. OTHER TYPES OF ENERGY. MECHANICAL ENERGY:Is the energy of motion thet does the work.An example of mechanical energy is the wind as it turns a wndm
