Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy, elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy, but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.

How high does Pete lift his sledge hammer if he used a force of 25N to lift the hammer while doing 50J of work?
sasho [114]

Answer:He lifts 2 meters

Explanation:We are trying to find the distance. The formula for distance is W/Force. 50 is our amount of work. 25N is how much force was used. Divide the work bye the force. 50/25=2M

Vladimir79 [104]
This is a very valid hypothesis for many reasons. One is that solar systems form from massive amounts of dust, ice, and debris that eventually form into planets and such. This means it is very possible for this 'excess material' if you will to have moved into orbit behind Neptune.

The light bulb transfers electrical energy into light. What is one type of energy that is also generated that is NOT a desired e
zimovet [89]

The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light.  If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low. 
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better.  It all depends on your point of view.
