... This potential energy, though, will not be the actual amount of electrical energy that we can get out of the dam. This is because of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred from one form to anothe ...

What are two types of energy?
... What forms can energy take? • The thermal energy of an object is the kinetic energy of its particles. • The faster the molecules in an object move, and the more particles the object has, the more thermal energy it has. • Heat is the energy transferred from an object at a higher temperature to an obj ...
