Chemical energy.
The head of a matchstick has a lot of chemical energy stored in it, which can be used to create a flame. The wood will burn if you leave the matchstick burning.
A matchstick has both potential and mechanical energy. It has chemical energy in wood. Light and thermal energy can be produced when the matchstick is applied with a spark.
A match is lit.
In the form of heat, the potential chemical energy can be changed. An organic wood combines with oxygen in the air and undergoes a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of heat and light.
In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy is released due to heating by other excited atoms The chemical reaction needs oxygen. In the form of heat, the potential chemical energy can be changed.
The heat energy is measured in units of Joules, however it can also be measured in calories and BTUs.
The thermal energy that is converted into heat by the two surfaces moving relative to each other is called kinetic energy.
elastic potential energy can be stored in any spring. Let us look at a spring that is not stretched. The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is equal to the amount of work done or energy applied to stretch the spring.
The force that an object has due to it’s motion is the kinetic energy. As you increase your vehicle’s speed, your vehicle’s energy will increase.
