The Fundamental description of energy
Title
The Fundamental description of energy.
Abstract/Description
Energy is seen everywhere, and is described scientifically as “the ability to do work”. This definition works well for most, if not all, cases concerning energy and its interaction with everyday lives. Energy is commonly measured as Joules or the Newton Meter, although simple and reasonable I think there is a misconception to the fundamental idea and measurement of energy. One may ask “If Joules is not energy, then what is a Joule and what really is energy?” I describe energy the same as before, the ability to do work, however the measurement of energy is different, and the Joules measurement is similar if not the same, in most if not all cases, where a Joule is taking a bit longer path to arrive to the same destination, while Momentum is the direct path to the same destination. One may wonder, how did I come this conclusion, while in Physics class one day, I was learning about energy and how it is measured, I also learned that when an object’s velocity is doubled its overall energy is quadrupled, this puzzled me as to how this could be, if something doubles and more than double is returned, where did the excess come from, and how could this be proven or even corrected to my view?
