what are two types of energy
Energy is broadly categorized into two forms - potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy or the definite energy of a position, while kinetic energy is the energy associated with moving objects. All the different types of energy fall in either of the two categories. In the following lines, we have provided information on the various types of energy. Different Kinds of Energy. Mechanical Energy. Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by an object, depending upon its motion or position.
Energy Resource Types. Energy resource types are different from types of energy. Energy resource types refer to the origin of the energy source itself, while types of energy refer to different types of potential (chemical, electrical, etc.) and kinetic (heat, sound, etc.) energy. In this lesson, we'll look at energy resources types. As you go through the lesson, be thinking about the implications of the qualities of these energy resources on energy policy. Generally, we can break energy into two broad categories of resources - non-renewable and renewable.
