I need help can someone help me with energy I am horrible at it I have a test coming up and I need to do good. Plz if you can give me info on as many energy forms there are. I don't get energy.

thank you so much, Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
Ms. Sue sorry to bother you but I did not see elastic energy can you explain that for me plz.
never mind Ms. Sue I did some research and this is what I found
Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched, or generally deformed in any manner
No problem. :-)

thank you, Ms. Sue, you helped me know more
Great! :-)
You are welcome.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you understand energy better! Energy is a fundamental concept in physics, and it plays a crucial role in understanding how the natural world works. To get started, let's go over some of the different forms of energy you should be familiar with for your test:
1. Kinetic Energy: This is the energy associated with the motion of an object. The kinetic energy of an object depends on its mass and velocity.
2. Potential Energy: Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or condition. It can exist in various forms, such as gravitational potential energy (related to an object's height), elastic potential energy (associated with stretched or compressed objects like springs), and chemical potential energy (related to the energy stored in chemical bonds).
3. Thermal Energy: Also known as heat energy, thermal energy refers to the internal energy of a system due to the motion and vibrations of its particles. It determines the temperature of an object or a substance.
4. Electrical Energy: This form of energy is associated with the movement of electric charges. It can be found in the flow of electrons through a conductor, such as in electric circuits.
5. Light Energy: Light energy, or radiant energy, refers to the energy that electromagnetic waves carry. It allows us to see and is responsible for various other optical phenomena.
6. Sound Energy: Sound energy is a form of energy that arises from vibrations. It travels in waves and requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) for propagation.
7. Chemical Energy: Chemical energy is stored in chemical substances and is released through chemical reactions. It is the energy that holds atoms and molecules together.
8. Nuclear Energy: Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom and is released during nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission (splitting of atoms) or nuclear fusion (combining of atoms).
Understanding these different forms of energy is crucial, but it's also important to know how to recognize and calculate them in various situations. Make sure to practice solving energy-related problems, such as calculating kinetic energy, potential energy, or energy transfers between different forms.
Additionally, it may help to visualize energy transformations and think about real-life examples of each type of energy. You can also explore relevant online resources, textbooks, and videos that explain energy concepts in a more detailed and visual manner.
Remember, understanding energy takes time and practice, so don't hesitate to ask for further clarification or assistance if needed. Good luck with your test!
