Do you have any science expiremments that involve the transfer of energy.?

A pendulum demonstrates the transfer of potential energy to kenitic energy.\n\nA light bulb demonstrates the transfer of electrical energy to light and heat.

When a temperature gradient exists in a body, there's an energy transfer from the high-temperature region to the low-temperature region . We say that the energy is transfered by Conduction.\n\nyou have Convection when you have a fluid for your heat transfer . Radiation is also another type of heat transfer which happens by energy beams like IR.\n\nAs far as I know, there's no heat transfer phenomena called absorption .

Conduction- the transfer of heat to a particle of matter without the movement of matter itself.\n\nConvection- the transfer of heat to a particle of matter with the help of movement of the matter.\n\nRadiation- the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.

no. depending on the exact details its either inverse beta decay or electron capture. both release energy in very small amounts tho, in the form of radiation.

heat mainly - the energy is wasted in the form of heat instead of transferable energy

There are three ways that thermal energy can be transmitted. (1) By radiation of photons. The photons are absorbed by materials and transfer their kinetic energy to the materials. (2) By convection in liquids and gases. The molecules of the fluid have kinetic energy depending upon their temperature. This energy of motion is transferred  to adjacent molecules.  Also as fluids heat up their density decreases and they rise against gravity in a motion called convection.  (3) By conduction in materials.  As the molecules of the material heat up, their kinetic energy of motion is transferred to adjacent molecules by collision.

All phenomena are based on energy transfer in some form.\n\nPhysics is the study of energy transfer.\n\nJules is correct about math being the fundamental structure of physics.

This question has driven me buggy for years.  As you stated, energy is technically "the ability to do work", and the other two answers posted have given excellent examples.   Unfortunately,  all the examples in the world don't tell us what energy actually "is".   We can see the results, as in, "Ok,  so this atom trades that particle with that one and speeds up...lovely...",  but as to what actually happens noone knows.  Thanks to Einstein we know that matter is kind of a "frozen" form of energy, but that isn't much help either.  Perhaps the whole concept will end up being purely semantic,  rather as "time" is another way to say "motion".  Who knows?  Exciting, no???  But for now all we can do is observe what happens, calculate what ends up where - and continue to wonder  :)

Yes, bombard it with neutrons and it will release energy...\n\nWill it be efficient.. NO. but you can do so.

Kari Byron mentioned they tried the free-energy myth in one show, but i don't remember seeing that one. i need to be on that show when they revisit that myth, it will be great fun for me to confirm it for them!

Im learning about this in my science class. The first law of thermodynamics is that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one place to another, and can be changed into a different form.

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.

Thermal energy IS heat.

Law of Conservation of Energy states\n\nEnergy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered\n\nAt the big bang, the temperature was 100 billion degrees C. So hot that everything was energy.\n\nThe big bang propelled out all this energy where some was transfered into matter.\n\nThe tempterature of the universe is now 5K but still the total energy and matter now is equal to the total energy and matter at the big bang

Not really. If we were interested in ATP instead of electricity, it might work, but even then we'd have to supply this solar cell with a fresh supply of CO2 and H2O. In this case, Physics has a better answer than Biology (the photoelectric effect)
