List and describe six forms of energy.

Gravitational energy, electric energy, magnetic energy, nuclear energy, thermal energy, chemical energy.

Explanation:

gravitational energy - the energy resulting from the attraction of two masses to each other

electric energy - energy from a static or moving electrical charge.

magnetic energy - energy from the attraction of opposite magnetic fields, repulsion of like fields, or from an associated electric field

nuclear energy - energy from the strong force that bonds protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus

thermal energy - also called heat, this is energy that can be measured as temperature. It reflects the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules

chemical energy - energy contained in chemical bonds between atoms and molecule

mechanical energy - the sum of the kinetic and potential energy

radiant energy - energy from electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and x-rays (for example)
