Summary Introduction

To review:

The explanations for kinetic energy and potential energy.

Introduction:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. It exists in multiple forms like chemical, mechanical, radiant and electrical energy. Energy can be converted from one form to another. The different forms of energy can be divided into either potential or kinetic energy, based on their state.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
While walking to biochemistry class with a friend, you see the following graffiti spray painted on the wall of the science building: “When a system is in equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy is maximum.” You are disgusted, not only at the vandalism, but at the ignorance of the vandal. Your friend asks you to explain.
What is the connection between entropy and biological reactions?
Define potential energy and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another. Will some energy be lost during this conversion? If so, what form will it take?
