Question
Chapter 6, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To define:
The term potential and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another form and will some energy be lost during this conversation. If so, then what form will it take.
Introduction:
The capacity to cause change is known as energy. The change in the form of energy is known as the transformation of energy. These forms are used to perform work such as movement of the object against opposing force like lifting heavy weight against gravity.
