It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.]]> 2017-10-26 16:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200908822 304556 https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200909731 Chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic.]]> 2017-10-26 16:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200909731 304556 https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200911005 Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Light energy can also be converted into other forms of energy. Interesting Light Energy Facts: Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 km/s.]]> 2017-10-26 16:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200911005 304556 https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200911491 Nuclear lower plants split uranium atoms inside a reactor in a process called fission. At a nuclear energy facility, the heat from fission is used to produce steam, which spins a turbine to generate electricity.]]> 2017-10-26 16:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200911491 304556 https://padlet.com/304556/9wecsa6f5q0b/wish/200912666

the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
