Q

define mechanical, kinetic, potential, chemical, sound , light, electricity, heat magnetic and nuclear energy.

A
  • mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its stateof motion of position.
  • kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
    formula: 1/2 mv^2
  • potential energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by virtue of the position or configuration (change in shape and size). formula: mgh
  • energy stored in a matter is called chemical energy.
  • sound energy is the form of energy ehivh is produced due to the vibration of a material medium.
  • light is a doem of energy which makes things visible.
    electrical energy is produced due to continuous flow of electrons.
  • the energy which gives the senstation of warmth is called heat energy.
  • the enrgy obtained from a magnet is called magnetic energy.
  • the energy obtained from a nucleus of a atom is called nuclear energy.

Q

relation between energy work and power

A

a person can’t do a work without energy. the food we eat changes from chemical energy to muscular energy. the muscular energy is used to do various types of work. work is the effect of energy. power is the rate of transformation of energy. two people doing the same work can have different powers. thus, work, energy and power are interrelated.
