What is the formula for energy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

energy is in different forms..there is no definite formula for it. you should know what energy actually is. you should get the feel for different forms of energy.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

it tends to be E=mc^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

although, there are different forms of energy with different equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

force times distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

energy has usually being most represented by kinetic and potential energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

force times distance ? i dont understand!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fxd?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

the strength of an object/force and how far it goes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the unit|?

OpenStudy (mww):

There are a couple depending on the type of energy. Here are some common ones: \[E = mc^2\] \[E = hf \] h is Planck's constant \[E = \frac{ mv^2 }{ 2 }\] kinetic energy \[E = mgh \] Gravitational potential energy \[E = Pt\] Power and time relation.

Thanks :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i know the unit?

OpenStudy (mww):

Standard unit is the joule (J). We can write it like this though.\[E = work = force \times distance -> 1J = 1Nm\]

OpenStudy (mww):

Or in electrical terms 1 J = 1VC (volt coulomb) since potential difference (V) is work (J) done to separate a unit charge (C)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

in mechanics there is the work energy principle : final energy = initial energy + work done by driving force - work done against resistance
