Energy exists in a number of different forms.
Potential (includes gravitational and elastic)
Kinetic
Chemical
Electrical
The work done on an object is equivalent to the change in energy of that object. When a force is
applied to an object causing a displacement over a distance, work is done.
Energy is transferred (from one object to another) or transformed from one type of energy to another.
