09-27-2021-2005 - Some forms of energy (that an object or system can have as a measurable property) [Table]

The total energy of a system can be subdivided and classified into potential energy, kinetic energy, or combinations of the two in various ways. Kinetic energy is determined by the movement of an object – or the composite motion of the components of an object – and potential energy reflects the potential of an object to have motion, and generally is a function of the position of an object within a field or may be stored in the field itself.

While these two categories are sufficient to describe all forms of energy, it is often convenient to refer to particular combinations of potential and kinetic energy as its own form. For example, macroscopic mechanical energy is the sum of translational and rotational kinetic and potential energy in a system neglects the kinetic energy due to temperature, and nuclear energy which combines potentials from the nuclear force and the weak force), among others.^{[citation needed]}

Some forms of energy (that an object or system can have as a measurable property)

Type of energy	Description
Mechanical	the sum of macroscopic translational and rotational kinetic and potential energies
Electric	potential energy due to or stored in electric fields
Magnetic	potential energy due to or stored in magnetic fields
Gravitational	potential energy due to or stored in gravitational fields
Chemical	potential energy due to chemical bonds
Ionization	potential energy that binds an electron to its atom or molecule
Nuclear	potential energy that binds nucleons to form the atomic nucleus (and nuclear reactions)
Chromodynamic	potential energy that binds quarks to form hadrons
Elastic	potential energy due to the deformation of a material (or its container) exhibiting a restorative force as it returns to its original shape
Mechanical wave	kinetic and potential energy in an elastic material due to a propagated deformational wave
Sound wave	kinetic and potential energy in a fluid due to a sound propagated wave (a particular form of mechanical wave)
Radiant	potential energy stored in the fields of propagated by electromagnetic radiation, including light
Rest	potential energy due to an object's rest mass
Thermal	kinetic energy of the microscopic motion of particles, a form of disordered equivalent of mechanical energy
