Energy is the ability to do work. It is a physical quantity that can be transferred or converted from one form to another.
2.Energy can be transferred in various ways, such as through heat, light, sound, electricity, or mechanical motion. The transfer of energy occurs when there is a difference in energy levels between two objects or systems.
3.Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. In simple terms, potential energy is the energy of position, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
4.The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transferred or converted from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time.
5.Energy transformation occurs in our daily lives, such as when a toaster converts electrical energy into heat energy, or when a car engine transforms chemical energy into mechanical energy. Other examples include a solar panel converting light energy into electrical energy, and our bodies converting food into energy for movement and growth.
