Let's solve this step by step. The task is to identify the
form of energy represented in each pair of pictures.
We are given nine forms of energy:
-
HEAT
-
LIGHT
-
SOUND
-
ELECTRICAL
-
KINETIC (also called MOVEMENT)
-
ELASTIC
-
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL
-
NUCLEAR
-
CHEMICAL
Now, let’s go through each row and determine the correct form of energy for each pair.
---
Row 1:
-
The Sun → Emits light and heat.
-
A light bulb → Produces light (and some heat).
✔ Form of energy: LIGHT
> Both emit visible light. The Sun emits light naturally, and the light bulb converts electrical energy into light.
---
Row 2:
-
A bonfire → Burning wood produces heat and light.
-
A Bunsen burner → Burns gas to produce heat (and flame/light).
✔ Form of energy: HEAT
> Both are sources of heat energy from combustion.
---
Row 3:
-
A speeding bullet → Moving very fast.
-
A galloping horse → Also moving quickly.
✔ Form of energy: KINETIC (MOVEMENT)
> Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Both are objects in motion.
---
Row 4:
-
A climber climbing → Gaining height against gravity.
-
A rocket gaining height → Also rising upward.
✔ Form of energy: GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL
> As they gain height, they store gravitational potential energy.
---
Row 5:
-
A hamburger → Contains food; stored energy from chemical bonds.
-
Coal → Fossil fuel with stored chemical energy.
✔ Form of energy: CHEMICAL
> Both contain stored chemical energy that can be released during digestion (hamburger) or burning (coal).
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Picture Pair | Form of Energy |
|--------------|----------------|
| The Sun, A light bulb |
LIGHT |
| A bonfire, A Bunsen burner |
HEAT |
| A speeding bullet, A galloping horse |
KINETIC (MOVEMENT) |
| A climber climbing, A rocket gaining height |
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL |
| A hamburger, Coal |
CHEMICAL |

🔍 Summary Explanation:
-
Light: Produced by the Sun and light bulbs.
-
Heat: Generated by fire and burners.
-
Kinetic: Energy of motion — bullets and horses.
-
Gravitational Potential: Stored energy due to height — climbers and rockets.
-
Chemical: Stored in food and fuels like coal.
