We know that the earth revolves around the sun, birds fly in the sky, trains run on tracks, cars move on the road, but all these happen because of kinetic energy. Let’s make this clearer. There are two primary forms of energy. One is potential (stored) energy, and the other is kinetic energy. In physics,…
Thermal energy is energy possessed by a body or system due to the movement of particles within the body or the system. It is one of the different types of energy, where energy basically refers to the ability to do work. As such thermal energy can also be defined as the ability of something to…
To start with, energy in Physics is referred to as the ability to do work. It is a measure of an object or body’s capacity to do work. In Physics, work is said to be done when a force of 1 Newton moves an object through a distance of 1 meter in the direction of…
Energy can be potential or kinetic. Radiant energy is a form of Kinetic energy. Movement of atoms, molecules, objects, wave, and substance is connected to a Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be in many different forms like sound, thermal energy, motion, electric energy, etc. Radiant energy is very important for example, there would be no…
Chemical energy is one of the various forms energy can take, including kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and thermal energy. It is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, such as sugar and gasoline. It is one of the most convenient forms we have for storing energy. Chemical energy comes in different forms and may…
In the simplest terms, energy is the ability to do work. Energy is also represented in terms of any source of usable power. In different ways, energy is used to do almost everything such as jumping, walking and the operation of machinery. For instance, the foods human consume contain energy which is stored in the…
