1. Energy is transferred in many ways from 1 object to another, like when a foot hits a soccer ball.
2. There are 7 forms of energy in everyday life: heat, sound, light a/k/a electromagnetic, electricity, electrochemical, nuclear & chemical. All forms of energy can be characterized as either kinetic or potential.
