Question

Answer 1

Energy comes in two forms, kinetic and potential.  Kinetic energy is energy of motion.  It represents any form of matter that is in motion (vibrating, rotating, or moving in a straight line).  Potential means just that. It means stored energy that is not being used but which can create motion in matter.  It means ability to go into motion.  It is like, "I have the ability to run but I am not running right now."

Answer 2

any temperature above absolute zero

Answer 3

The official answer is something like "ability to do work", but Feynman (read his books of popular essays) regarded this as dishonest.  Energy is a kind of stuff that we do not have a simple explanation for, although we can describe how different kinds of energy (kinetic, mechanical potential, electrical, thermal, chemical) are turned into each other, and that total energy is always conserved.

Answer 4

seriously. well calories are your bodies energy and plutonium is used for nuclear energy. that help

Answer 5

Seemingly simple question but difficult to answer.

In most simple meaning, Energy is the capacity of  any biotic or abiotic system to do physical work at the expense of energy stored within it or inducted to it.

thnks

Answer 6

a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a physical system to do work; the units of energy are joules or ergs
