What Is Energy?
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Think of it like the fuel that makes everything happen - from the food that powers your body to the electricity that lights your home and the gasoline that moves your car. Energy can be stored, transferred, and converted between different forms, but it's never created or destroyed.
Common Energy Units
- Joules (J): Standard international unit (basic measurement)
- Calories (cal): Used for food and nutrition
- Kilowatt-hours (kWh): Used for electricity bills
- BTU: British Thermal Unit (used for heating/cooling)
When to Use Energy Conversion
- Nutrition: Convert food calories to joules
- Electric Bills: Understand kilowatt-hour usage
- Science Homework: Solve physics energy problems
- Exercise: Calculate calories burned during activities
- Home Energy: Compare heating and cooling costs
Everyday Energy Examples
- Apple: About 95 calories (400,000 joules)
- AA Battery: About 2,300 joules (small amount of energy)
- Light Bulb (1 hour): About 360,000 joules (100-watt bulb)
- Gallon of Gasoline: About 130 million joules (lots of energy)
- Home Daily Use: About 30 kWh (108 million joules)
Food Energy Examples
