Energy and Heat
... Work is the transfer of energy through motion. In order for work to take place, a force must be exerted through a distance. The amount of work done depends on two things: the amount of force exerted and the distance over which the force is applied. There are two factors to keep in mind when decidin ...

Energy - My Haiku
... Even objects you cannot see have kinetic energy. Recall that all materials are made of atoms. In an atom, electrons move around a nucleus. Sometimes electrons move from one atom to another. Because electrons are moving, they have kinetic energy. When electrons move, they create an electric current. ...

Types of Energy - Iowa Park High School
... How do scientist and engineers use the term energy? Work is the process that transfers energy between a system and the external world. When an agent performs work on a system, the system’s energy increases, when the system does work on the surroundings, the system’s energy decreases. This chapt ...
