Can something be made up of energy? Or is energy ONLY just a property of objects?
Energy is a quantity computed by an observer, not an intrinsic property of objects or a material.Bradfordly1 said:Can something be made up of energy? Or is energy ONLY just a property of objects?
Not really. Energy is one of many properties of matter. See Drakkith's post immediately before yours.quarknsoul said:As far as I know matter and energy are the same thing.
No, they are excitations of the electromagnetic field and have several properties, only one of which is energy.mathman said:Aren't photons bits of energy?
Energy is a property of matter that allows it to do work or cause change. It can exist in many forms such as heat, light, motion, and electricity.
No, objects cannot be made of energy because energy is a property of matter and cannot exist on its own. Objects can contain energy, but they are not made of it.
Energy can be transferred between objects through various processes such as conduction, convection, and radiation. These processes involve the movement of particles or waves carrying energy from one object to another.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant.
Energy is measured in joules (J) in the metric system. Other common units of energy include calories, kilowatt-hours, and electron volts. The specific unit used depends on the type of energy being measured.
