What are some examples of physical energy ?

Question

Elias Aboujaoude · Accepted Answer

Waves, a moving body, a block in a higher ground, gravitational pull-push, a compressed or stretched spring or rubber, magnets and magnet coil interaction, electrostatic and electrodynamics generating repulsion or attraction.

"Physical energy" refers to the ability to influence the actions of unprocessed physical matter, such as bodies and masses, and to potentially and generally accomplish work. Examples include: gravitational pull-push (related to orbital movements and interactions of celestial objects on the cosmos); a compressed or stretched spring and/or gases; magnets and magnet coil interaction producing movement; electrostatic and electrical forces generating repulsion and attraction; general waves (radio-waves, microwaves, sound waves, ocean waves, X-rays, sunlight, infrared, UVs, etc.); and general waves.

undefined Examples of physical energy include:

- Kinetic energy (energy associated with motion)
- Potential energy (energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration)
- Thermal energy (energy associated with the temperature of an object)
- Elastic potential energy (energy stored in stretched or compressed objects)
- Gravitational potential energy (energy associated with an object's position in a gravitational field)
- Electrical energy (energy associated with the movement of electrons)
- Magnetic energy (energy associated with magnetic fields)
- Sound energy (energy associated with the vibration of particles in a medium)
- Radiant energy (energy transmitted in waves, such as light or electromagnetic radiation)
