In your mind, you'll probably have a different meaning for the word "energy". But to keep it simple, energy is defined as the ability to do work.

# data[].attributes.body
Energy transfer is when energy moves from one place to another. For example, when electrical energy from an outlet goes into a wire and then your phone, that is energy being transferred.

Energy Transformation is when one kind of energy transforms into another. As an example, when light (radiant) energy from the sun is directed onto a solar panel, that light energy is transformed into electrical energy (electricity).

The Law of Conservation of Energy is a law in science that states: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change forms. For example, if electricity from a wire goes into a phone, the energy that is transferred from the wire to the phone will not be lost or gained, however the energy can change forms from electrical energy to sound and light energy.

Mechanical Energy is energy that an object has relative to its motion and position. Mechanical energy is a common type of energy that is used every day by us. If you've moved, lifted, or held an object, you've used mechanical energy.

Electrical energy, more commonly known as electricity, is energy that is carried by charged particles. Charged particles can move from one place to another. This creates moving electrical energy (current energy).

Sound energy is energy that is carried by sound waves, longitudinal waves that pass through states of matter (solids, liquids, gases).

Thermal energy is energy that is related or associated with temperature. Matter is made up or composed of tiny particles called atoms. Although sometimes it may not look like it, atoms are always vibrating, and the faster the atoms vibrate, the hotter the object/substance is.

Light (Radiant) energy is energy that is carried by light. Light energy comes from visible electromagnetic radiation. Some common types of light energy include infrared, Ultraviolet (UV) light, radio waves, and x-rays.

Chemical energy is energy that is kept in between the bonds of the atoms that make up matter. The energy is used to keep those atoms bonded together. Chemical energy contains a huge amount of energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Energy can change forms, for example, light energy from the sun shines on a small solar panel. That solar panel changes the light energy into electrical energy (electricity). At night, the electricity from the solar panel is used to power a lamp. That lamp then converts the electricity into light energy.

# data[].attributes.body
No. According to the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy, it states that energy cannot be created nor can it be destroyed in any situation. And if it seems like it is, then it is most likely waste energy that has gone into the air. While energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can change forms.

Can an object transfer more than one type of energy?

Can an object transfer more than one type of energy?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! It can transfer more than one type of energy. For example, the sun gives off light energy in the form of sunlight, and then turns into thermal energy in the form of the heat that we then feel when we went outside.

In the picture shown above, this system starts with the sun giving of light energy. This energy is then transferred into the solar panel and is converted into electricity. This electricity is then transferred into the lightbulb, which converts the electricity into heat, and then finally, is released back into the air as light energy.
