Document Summary

The movement present in kinetic energy can perform work by making other objects move: potential energy is stored energy- its an energy that an object has due to its location or chemical structure. (ex. The arrangement of atoms in a molecule of glucose has potential energy stored in its atoms: the study of energy and its transformations is called thermodynamics. Earth can take in energy by the sun and release heat, but it does not exchange matter: in an open system both energy and matter can move freely within the surroundings. (ex. The ocean can absorb and release energy and also lose and gain water: first law of thermodynamics: energy can be transformed from one type to another or from one place to another but not created or destroyed (ex. Waterfall has potential energy at first then transfers to kinetic energy then at the bottom to sound, heat and others: second law of thermodynamics: energy transformation increase disorder.
