ENERGY TRANSFER WHEN WORK IS DONE
when work is done, energy moves from one place to another or changes form. For example,
lifting a book transfers your energy to the book, giving it potential energy.
-
When you push something and it moves, the energy you use gets transferred
to the object, making it move faster. This energy is called kinetic energy.
-
When you lift something, like picking up a book, you are transferring energy to it.
This energy is stored as potential energy because the book is now higher up.
-
(Thermal Energy): When you slide something, friction happens. The energy you use to overcome friction gets turned into heat.
For example, rubbing your hands together makes them warm.
-
Electrical Energy: In electrical gadgets, when you plug them in, electricity does work.
This energy can be used to light a bulb, run a fan, or charge a battery.
