I am a HVAC trainer in the USA, and as such I have to explain the difference between energy (heat is a form of energy) and temperature. For the most part, my students do not posses any college background, and so I do my best to explain this in layman terms. There are chapters written on this subject, and to do it justice here …. well here goes.\n\nHeat is a form of energy, as is electricity, natural & propane gas, coil, gasoline, etc. Temperature is a measurement of how densely heat energy is packed into a substance. The more heat energy there is in a substance, the more vigorous the atoms and molecules will move. If the motion is vigorous enough, the substance can change its state and assume new characteristics (ice is different from liquid water, which is different from steam). \n\nThe temperature of a given amount of substance will increase as heat energy is added to that substance, and temperature will decrease as heat energy is taken (provided the substance does not change state). If a substance is at a temperature where it will change state, examples: ice~water @ 32deg F., …. and water~steam @ 212deg F. (at one atmosphere pressure), than the addition or subtraction of heat energy will cause the substance to change state, and the temperature will not change until the substance has finished changing state  “Sensible heat” is a form of energy that causes a change in temperature, “latent heat” energy causes a change in state.\n\n”Specific heat value” is the amount of heat energy it takes to rise or lower the temperature of one pound of a substance one degree F.  For instance, if we take one pound of ice at 0deg F., and put 1/2 BTU into that pound of ice, the temperature of that pound of ice will go up one degree F, thus .5 is the specific heat value of ice. If we continue to put energy into that ice, the temperature will go up one degree F. for every 1/2 BTU of energy we put in until it reaches 32deg F., at which time the ice will be at a temperature where it will melt if additional energy is put into it. We will have to put an additional 144 BTU’s to that one pound of ice at 32deg F., to change it into liquid water at 32deg F. \n\nOnce we have liquid water, we will have to put 1 BTU into that pound of water to raise the temperature 1deg F., thus 1.00 is the specific heat value of liquid water (please note: the specific heat value of liquid water changes slightly as the water’s temperature changes, but for most calculations, the constant “1.00” can be used). \n\nWhen the water reaches 212deg F. at one atmosphere (pressure at sea level), the water will once again be at a temperature where it can change state. As heat energy is added the liquid water, it will turn into steam. The amount of heat needed to change one pound of liquid water at 212deg F. into one pound of steam at 212deg F. is ….. ready ….. here it comes ….. 970 BTU’s …. That deserves a “wow”. \n\nThe reason I made such a big deal out of the 970 BTU’s is because it’s important that HVAC technicians and mechanics understand the concept that it takes a lot more energy to change the state of a substance than it does to change the temperature one degree Fahrenheit (or for that matter, one degree Celsius).

Definitions of potential energy on the Web:\n\n    * The energy stored in a raised object (eg the weights in a grandfather clock). Potential energy equals mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the vertical distance from a reference location. It is called potential energy because the energy can be regained when the object is lowered. This type of potential energy is sometimes called gravitational potential energy in order to distinguish it from elastic potential energy: see elastic energy.\n      http://urban.arch.virginia.edu/~km6e/references/glossary/struc-glossary.html\n\n    * energy stored in an object due to its position\n      http://whyfiles.larc.nasa.gov/text/kids/Problem_Board/problems/pulleys/glossary.html\n\n    * The energy which a body possesses as a consequence of it's position in the field of gravity, the work required to bring the body up against gravity from a standard level.\n      http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/oakfield/keyterms.htm\n\n    * Energy related to the position or height above a place to which fluid could possibly flow.\n      http://www.flw.com/define_p.htm\n\n    * The energy that matter has because of its position or because of the arrangement of atoms or parts.\n      http://www.nmlites.org/standards/science/glossary_4.htm\n\n    * Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its height above the ground. The amount of potential energy possessed by an object depends on its mass and its height. A roller coaster car is initially hauled by a motor and chain system to the top of a tall hill, giving it a large quantity of potential energy.\n      http://www.learner.org/exhibits/parkphysics/glossary.html

Look, energy is conserved, period.  It may be in the form of PE, KE, heat, etc., but it is always conserved.  My best guess is that whatever experimentalists you're thinking of probably neglected to consider heat effects of some other energy drain/source.\n\nBy the way, I think you now hold the record for the worst spelling and punctuation ever on Yahoo! Answers.

As long as we understand, energy can take different forms but it can not be destroyed.  It can be converted to mass, and vice-versa.  There are other forms of energy such as light energy, chemical energy.  It seems that energy is exhibiting higher dimensions of space and what we see within our 3D world is translated to our braind as energy.

I am going to take a guess and say the moon.\n\nNo, I am kidding, it's the Sun\n\nSolar energy can be converted in to electricity and heat.

atomic energy refers to the energy which is stored in an atom of any element while nuclear energy refers to the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom of an element. thus we can say tat both these r same since the energy of an atom is ultimately derived from its nucleus.\nthese enrgies r much useful in generating cheaper electricity. also this is the same energy thru which energy is generated in THE SUN whic is the ultimate source of all energies.

There are fundamentally many ways to answer this question; and I will address three.\n\nIn nuclear chemistry, there are four fundamental interactions of matter that can be termed energy:\n\n1. Strong interaction, or strong force. This is the force which holds together quarks and other subnuclear particles into discreet protons, neutrons, and electrons. This is the energy that is released in a nuclear reaction.\n\n2. Weak interaction, or weak force. This is the force which holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom. This is the energy that is released in radioactive decay.\n\n3. Electromagnetism. This is the attractive or repulsive force caused by the positive or negative charge of atomic particles and the electromagnetic field of photons. This force is the most wide in function, and is present in practically every conventional phenomenon. The electromagnetic force is responsible for electron orbitals, for chemical bonds and reactions, for electromagnetic radiation, and fundamentally for traditional force.\n\n4. Gravity. This is the tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. This is the weakest force, but can act over an almost unlimited distance.\n\nOR ....\n\nIn classic chemistry, a molecule can have three kinds of energy:\n\n1. Transitional energy, or the energy relative to motion.\n\n2. Chemical energy, or the energy inherent to electrochemical bonds.\n\n3. Vibrational energy, or energy relative to the vibration or oscillation of individual molecules.\n\nOR ...\n\nIn physics, we categorize all energy in the universe into two sets:\n\n1. Potential energy. This is the energy inherent in position or interaction with another body.\n\n2. Kinetic energy. This is the energy a mass possesses relative to its motion, whether it be classic velocity or vibration. This is sometimes termed work, though this is technically incorrect; both kinetic and potential energy are work, in different forms.\n\nAnd there you have it.

themal energy is the vibrational energy of the disordered motion of microscopic particles such as molecules and atoms.\nThe sum of all the kinetic energies.\nthere are many forms one is:\nocean thermal energy;\nThe oceans cover a little more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface. This makes them the world's largest solar energy collector and energy storage system. On an average day, 60 million square kilometers (23 million square miles) of tropical seas absorb an amount of solar radiation equal in heat content to about 250 billion barrels of oil. If less than one-tenth of one percent of this stored solar energy could be converted into electric power, it would supply more than 20 times the total amount of electricity consumed in the United States on any given day.\nthermal energy is in every matter. it has been proven that everything that is matter is always vibrating.

Most likely Energy in Joules. We need a context though.

Potential energy is the energy that is available to do work. For example, a ball at the top of a mountain has the POTENTIAL to do energy by rolling down the hill. Entropy is a measure of disorder and randomness. The Universe is in a constant state of randomness. It ties in with potential energy because as the Universe grows more and more random, it spends and utilizes potential energy, reducing the available amount for work.
