Study Notes
Energy
- The source of energy for living beings is food.
- Living beings need energy for processes like growth, movement, and reproduction.
- Machines need energy to perform tasks like moving objects or generating heat.
Work
- Work is a closely related concept to energy.
- In everyday language, 'work' can mean any activity, but in science, 'work' is defined as the transfer of energy when an object is moved by a force.
- Engines need fuel like petrol and diesel because they convert the chemical energy stored in fuel into mechanical energy to do work.
