What is the difference between a form of energy and a Force?
In: 8
Energy is the concept that motivates action in the physical world. Whether heat, light, sound, force, gravity, chemistry. Force is a form of energy that is related to motion and sustained movement.
E^(k)=(1/2)mv^2 , F=ma
Energy is more instantaneous as it is the derivative, mathematically to this situation, of Force motivated by kinetic energy. You need sustained energy to provide prolonged force and a change in momentum. It’s similar to Impulse but Impulse is the measure of change rather than it’s prolonged application of Kinetic Energy.
Energy’s domain is everything that physically can be transferred and transformed which is still everything. Force’s domain is motion and Newtonian Concepts.
