ENERGY
Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe.
We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television. Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm.
Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. It dries our clothes when they're hanging outside on a clothes line. It helps plants grow. Energy stored in plants is eaten by animals, giving them energy. And predator animals eat their prey, which gives the predator animal energy.
Everything we do is connected to energy in one form or another.
Energy is defined as: "the ability to do work.
TYPES OF ENERGY
Types of Energy
Energy exists in two states, potential and kinetic. Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential future ability to do a new task. A boulder that sits on the hill is not actively doing any work but has the capacity to do so because of its position. When gravity causes the boulder to roll down the hill, boulder's potential energy turns into kinetic energy. kinetic energy, the energy of motion, is the form of energy that performs a task. Kinetic energy and potential energy can exist in many different forms. Hence it is important to know the different types of energy.
Potential Energy
The literal meaning of potential is something stored and available for any act or work. We call a person who is capable in some way as a potential person.
A potential energy of an object is the energy acquired by it by the virtue of its position and an energy which is readily available for use.Potential energy is broadly classified into two types: 1. Mechanical Potential Energy 2. Electrical Potential
