Energy Transformation

When energy is passed from one type to another


Kinetic - Energy that is produced by motion 

Chemical potential - Energy that is transformed from fuel or food 

Heat - Temperature produces energy higher temperatures having more

Light - The wavelength of light

Gravitational - The force of gravity pushing down

Elastic potential - Energy stored due to a force changing an elastic object

Electrical - anything using power

Sound - wavelengths we can hear


The energy transformation was first from elastic and sound to kinetic when it started to fall it produced gravitational energy
