  2. Energy (psychological) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_(psychological)

    He argues that this intensity, can be understood separately from emotion and that this intensity might be considered energy. [7]: 54 However, a significant volume of empirical research on energy psychology has emerged over several decades, much of it published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals.

  3. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

  4. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    For example, when a machine (not a part of the system) lifts a system upwards, some energy is transferred from the machine to the system. The system's energy increases as work is done on the system and in this particular case, the energy increase of the system is manifested as an increase in the system's gravitational potential energy. Work ...

  5. Potentiality and actuality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiality_and_actuality

    There was an adaptation of at least one aspect of Aristotle's potentiality and actuality distinction, which has become part of modern physics, although as per Bacon's approach, it is a generalized form of energy, not one connected to specific forms for specific things.

  6. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    Energy (from Ancient Greek ἐνέργεια (enérgeia) 'activity') is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.

    Planck energy (E P) – natural unit of energy common in particle physics (~1.96 × 10 9 J). Barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) – energy unit equal to the energy released when burning one barrel (159 litres) of oil (~6.12 GJ). Tonne of oil equivalent (toe) – energy unit equal to the energy released when burning one tonne of oil (~42 GJ).

  8. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    physics education, set of methods to teach physics; physical oceanography, is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters; psychophysics, the science of physical relations in psychology; quantum computing, the study of quantum-mechanical computation systems

  9. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics , energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat .
