Energy in food is measured in
KJ as well as kcal (kilocalorie)
Chemical potential energy
Energy stored in fuel and released when burned , eg. Burning coal oil or gas . Food is a form of chemical energy , chemical energy is released as heat energy
Gravitational potential energy
Energy stored by an object due to its position above earth eg, going down a slide
Elastic potential energy
Energy stored in an object due to its condition eg, stretching an elastic band and releasing , it goes back to its OG form.
Kinetic (motion energy)
Energy due to an objects motion
Other types
Electrical, heat , sound , light and nuclear
What is a transducer
A transducer is a device that changed energy from one form to another
