Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 1QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between the kinetic and potential energy.
Introduction:
Matter and energy are the two most important concepts of science. Matter is an entity of the environment. It can either be biotic or abiotic. Energy can be defined as the capacity of matter to do work. Energy can be broadly classified into kinetic energy and potential energy. The net flow of energy in the system remains conserved.
