Matching Forms of Energy

Match each form of energy with its description.

energy stored in a compressed or

stretched object

mechanical energy

elastic potential energy

energy of an object because of its

height above a surface

gravitational potential energy

energy of an object because of its

potential and kinetic energy

These forms of energy are based in forms of their formation and how they are produced. The demarcations are as below:

Explanation:

Energy stored in a compressed or stretched object is elastic potential energy

The energy that an object can produce in terms of the work done by the object or the potential work that can be done by the object is its mechanical energy

Energy of an object because of its height above a surface is its gravitational potential energy

Energy of an object because of its speed and the velocity that it can achieve as it goes is its kinetic energy
