We all know about energy. The unit of energy is joule. The classification of energy is done in physics. In
physics energy is classified into many forms and there is a law which stands for the conservation of
energy. This law is known as The law of conservation of energy.According to this laW energy cannot
be created and energy cannot be destroyed, but energy in one form can be converted to another form
without any loss or gain. This law may be confusing to many. To understand this law, one needs to
know different forms of energy and how energy is converted. Energy can be seen in different forms
energy in a light source is considered as light energy. Energy in a flame is considered as heat energy.
Thus many types of energies are out there. Kinetic Energy is a form of energy which is seen asssociated
with moving objects. This energy is seen in moving vehicles, rotating fan etc.IN the fan, this energy is
known as rotational kinetic energy. Some readers might be puzzling on this if energy can neither
Created nor be destroyed then how kinetic energy stored in a moving car gets destroyed when t comes to a
halt? When analyzing this situation we can come into a conclusion that the kineticenergy stored in the
moving car gets tranformed into potential energy, frictional energy when the tyres reduce its speed and
into heat energy when the contact between tyres and road gets heated. Thus the kinetic energy stored in
the fast moving car is dissipated into so many forms and the car becomes to a stop when the energy is
fully transferred into other forms. Kinetics is a branch of chemistry which deals with reaction rates of
chemical reactions. Don't get confused with this term
