homework.HELP!!!

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

1) Potential Energy
2) Kinetic Energy
3) Light Energy
4) Heat Energy
5) Sound Energy
6) Electrical Energy
7) Chemical Energy and
8) Magnetic Energy

The first two are sometimes clubbed together and called Mechanical Energy

Elastic Potential and Gravitational Potential are forms of Mechanical Energy. Mass is never a form of Energy.

Answer 2

I've never heard of anything of the sort... I'll guess this is what you teacher wants to hear:

Elastic potential
Gravitational potential
Kinetic
Heat
Mass (This is a tricky one)
Light
Electric

I can't think of any more. Your teacher must have told you what they are, because this is not a global term, "main types of energy". So I don't know.

Answer 3

Potential energy
Gravitational potential energy
Elastic potential energy
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Electric energy
Magnetic energy
Electromagnetic field
Chemical energy
Nuclear energy
Surface energy
even more are there....

Answer 4

As previous answer, but never heard of mass energy. This might be the same as 'chemical energy' which you get from food. The technical term for heat energy is thermal.
