| You have already seen one form of internal energy (i.e., when a spring is compressed). It can be useful to be able to unpack the different forms of internal energy to work on a particular problem of interest. An object that is rotating about its center of mass will have internal energy associated with rotation: **rotational energy**. While an object that is oscillating with respect to its center of mass will have energy due to vibrations: **vibrational energy**. When you eat food, you increase your internal energy in the form of **chemical energy**. A system whose temperature increases will increase its **thermal energy**. | You have already seen one form of internal energy (i.e., when a spring is compressed).
