Energy
Key Concepts
Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat.
Potential energy is energy due to position or composition.
Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object and depends on the mass of the object and depends on the mass of the object.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another but can be neither created nor destroyed.
The different sources of energy that humans use are petroleum, natural gas, coal, solar, fission and fusion, biomass, and synthetic fuels. Some are clean, but others are harmful to the environment.
