    Study Notes

    Definition and Sources of Energy

    • Energy is defined as the capacity to do work or produce change in a physical system.
    • The body derives energy primarily from food sources such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which release energy through metabolic processes.

    Types of Energy

    • Kinetic energy facilitates movement; it is the energy of an object in motion.
    • Various forms of energy include thermal, chemical, electrical, nuclear, and mechanical energy, among others.

    Future Energy Sources

    • The global context emphasizes the need for sustainable and renewable energy sources to address environmental concerns and resource depletion.
    • Discussions may include solar, wind, hydroelectric, and bioenergy as alternatives to fossil fuels.

    Measurement and Concepts in Energy

    • The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J).
    • The law of conservation of energy dictates that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

    Energy Types in Reactions and Radiation

    • Chemical energy is related to the potential energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds; it is released during chemical reactions.
    • Electromagnetic energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation, examples include visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.

    Energy Storage

    • Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition, such as energy stored in a stretched spring or gravitational potential energy in elevated objects.
