Energy And it's Various types

Energy is a fundamental concept in physics that represents the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms, and understanding these different types of energy is crucial in studying and analyzing physical systems. Here are some of the major types of energy: 1. Kinetic Energy: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. The amount of kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and its velocity. For example, a moving car or a flowing river possesses kinetic energy. 2. Potential Energy: Potential energy is the energy associated with the position or configuration of an object. There are several types of potential energy:    - Gravitational Potential Energy: This is the energy associated with the height of an object above the ground. The higher an object is, the greater its gravitational potential energy. For example, a raised weight or a ball on a hill has gravitational potential energy.    - Elastic Potential Energy: Thi...
