 Energy is the ability to do work.

 Energy can not be created nor destroyed just transferred from one form to another.
 Types of energy:
– thermal
– light
– sound
– elastic
– gravitational
– kinetic
– electrical
– chemical
– nuclear
 During transfer process, the energy is not lost, it is conserved.
 Energy cannot be destroyed or created.
 Chemical energy in food is converted to thermal energy and kinetic energy by our bodies.
 Heat is a type of energy called thermal energy
 Heat can be transferred (moved) by three main processes:
– CONDUCTION : The method of heat transfer in solids.
– CONVECTION: The method of heat transfer in fluids
– RADIATION : The method of heat transfer that doesn’t need medium(particle)
 During heat transfer, thermal energy always moves in the same direction.
 Conduction is the transfer of heat energy between neighbouring particles by their
vibration.
 Conduction is more effective in solids than liquids or gases due to the arrangement of
particles.
 Convection is a process of heat transfer that happens when warm air or liquid moves
from one place to another, carrying heat energy with it.
 Thermal radiation is a way heat moves from one place to another without needing
anything in between, like air or water.
 Energy Resources is divided into renewable & non-renewable resource
 A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a
scale comparable to its consumption.
 Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy.
 Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, it is gone!
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable
 Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of
time.

 All energy has kinetic & potential energy

 Potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its position.
 "Potential" simply means the energy has the ability to do something useful later on
 Type of potential energy: elastic potential (for example drawing a bow) & gravitional
potential energy (for example water at the top of waterfall)
 The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its mass, the
acceleration due to gravity, and its height above ground.
 Changing an objects’ height can change its potential energy.
 The higher an object, the more potential energy.
 The more mass an object has, the more potential energy it has.

 Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving.

 All moving things have kinetic energy, but the amount of energy they have is not just
dependent on how fast they are moving.
 When stored energy begins to move, the object now transfers from potential energy into
kinetic energy.
 The decrease in kinetic energy equals the increase in potential energy. The total amount
of energy remains constant.
