Study Notes
Energy Concepts
- Energy is defined as the capacity to cause change in systems.
Types of Energy
-
Kinetic Energy: Refers to the energy of motion; it is the energy that an object possesses due to its movement.
-
Heat (Thermal Energy): A type of kinetic energy that arises from the random movement of atoms or molecules, contributing to the temperature of a substance.
-
Potential Energy: This energy is stored in an object based on its position or arrangement, such as an object at height or in a compressed spring.
-
Chemical Energy: A form of potential energy held within chemical bonds, it is available for release during chemical reactions, fueling biological processes and chemical transformations.
Energy Transformation
- Energy can transform from one type to another, allowing for various applications in physical and chemical systems.
