Name the three types of kin etic energy. Define each.

Out of the 5, the first 3 that came to my mind first were thermal energy, electrical energy, and sound energy.

Explanation:

Thermal-Generates due to the quick motion of atoms and molecules, especially when they collide with each other. It is also called heat energy. The matters in the universe consist of atoms or molecules which are always in motion. However, we can’t see the movement of this energy with our naked eyes. We can feel it at the time it touches our skin.

Sound-The vibration of an object causes sound energy. Sound is the movement of energy generated by vibrations through some substance, such as air or water or solid. Sound energy can travel through any medium to transfer energy from one particle to another, and you can hear it. However, it cannot travel through a vacuum as a vacuum does not contain any particles that can act as a medium. When an object vibrates, it makes the surrounding particles vibrate by transferring its energy. These particles, when colliding with other particles, make them vibrate. In this way, the sound energy gets transferred from one particle to another.

Electrical- Every object in the universe is made up of small particles called atoms. Atoms consist of tiny particles, namely electrons, protons, and neutrons. The electrons in the atom always move around the nucleus of an atom. While applying voltage, the electrons present in the atom get energy and break the bonding with the parent atom and thus become free. The energy of this free electron is called electrical energy or electricity. Therefore, it is the energy of these moving free electrons. Electrons are negatively and positively charged and usually move through a wire.
