SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the nature of energy, specifically its definition and ability to transform between forms, such as kinetic and heat energy. Participants debate the concept of "pure state" energy, with one user emphasizing that energy is not a standalone physical entity but rather a measure of an object's capacity to exert force over distance. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding energy in the context of physics and encourages looking at scientific concepts from different perspectives.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics concepts, particularly energy transformation.
  • Familiarity with kinetic and potential energy definitions.
  • Knowledge of statistical ensembles in physics.
  • Ability to differentiate between physical quantities and their measurements.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the laws of thermodynamics and their relation to energy transformation.
  • Explore the concept of energy conservation in closed systems.
  • Learn about statistical mechanics and its implications for energy states.
  • Investigate the relationship between energy and force in classical mechanics.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, educators, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles of energy and its transformations in various contexts.

What is energy actualy in a pure state and why can it change form (kinetic to heat. Ect) if its not particles.

What do you mean by "pure state"??Does it have to do with statistical ensembles??

ignore whatzzupboy...here is what he send to me in the private mailbox


I am only a freshman and as I have already stadted in my alpollogy thread it was a physics project, we were told to make a theory and show full effects of it and how it would be proven, that I turned into a physcology project, to show how when somebody who knows nothing of what they are talking about trys to make them sound intellegent, in this case by a theory that if correct changes parts of physics, cause the people around them to act.
Sincerly,
Mathew

FYI: My physcology teacher say it looks like I;m going to make an A on. So thank you truly and fully.

Why are you posting all these silly threads?
Why don't you make an effort of learning physics&math, rather than slide into crackpottery?
 
Alright look
1) I'm not a crack pot I to school to hear that not ONLINE
2) It was A simple question so get off my case
3) Why is it that the WE, as human civ., are so stubbor to look at things from a different persective when offten time it is tere that the right answer is found, which by the way is what I am doing looking at te world through a dif. perspective.

Now, if you please can you pease just answer my question and stop crittisizing me, or is itthat you have nothing better to do then to critize a 15 year old freshman boy!

This is not a bad question, actually. Energy is defined as the measure of a thing's ability to apply a force over a distance. It is not a physical quantity in itself. It does not exist separately and apart from the 'thing' that contains energy.
