Energy

 ENERGY 

There are different forms of energy on earth. The sun is considered the elemental form of energy on earth. In physics, energy is considered a quantitative property that can be transferred from an object to perform work. Hence, we can define energy as the strength to do any kind of physical activity. Thus, in simple words, we can define energy as,

Energy is the ability to do work

According to the laws of conservation of energy, “ energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another”. The SI unit of energy is Joule.

• Mechanical Energy:

  Energy associated with motion and position, encompassing both kinetic and potential energy.
• Thermal Energy:

  Energy related to the temperature of an object or system.
• Nuclear Energy:

  Energy released from the nucleus of an atom during nuclear reactions.
• Chemical Energy:

  Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
• Sonic Energy:

  Energy carried by sound waves.
• Gravitational Energy:

  Potential energy associated with the gravitational field.
• Kinetic Energy:

  Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
