When is energy most evident?
The conditions when energy is most evident.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
Energy is most evident when an object is in motion which will only happen when energy is continuously transformed from one form to another form.
Explanation of Solution
Energy’ is a quantity by which the things will come into motion. It has no direction. It is like some agency that can’t be seen, touched or held. It can only be felt or observed. Any object can do work when it has energy, for example, water boils or evaporates, any object that changes or tries to change its position, any physical or chemical change happens, any elastic object shows it behavior then, we can say that an object has energy.
In a nutshell, we can say that nothing will happen until unless energy transferred..
Thus, from the above facts, we can say that energy will be most evident when it transfers from one instant to another instant in any form.
Conclusion:
Energy is evident when an object is in motion which will only happen when energy is continuously transformed from one form to another form that can be felt or observed.
