No problem at all. You can easily start a playground swing to swinging, or a car to
rolling, by pushing on it with your mass. You don't have to leave any of your mass
with it. You just transfer some energy to it by pushing its mass with your mass, and
then it keeps the energy and you keep your mass.
Even a better example . . . You use your mass to push a Ben Hogan super graphite and
kryptonite driver. You give it a lot of kinetic energy, and keep your mass. A half-second later,
the driver encounters a Golf ball and a swath of sod. It imparts a bunch of energy to
both of them, they both go sailing away, and the driver keeps its mass. The sod falls
to the ground a few feet away, but the golf ball keeps on sailing. After several more
seconds, the ball encounters a window on the second story of the clubhouse, which
shatters, scattering glass 50 feet in every direction. The club's Pro ... an amateur student
of Physics, looks up from his book, and realizes that the ball has transferred its kinetic
energy to hundreds of individual glass fragments, without losing a speck of its matter.
Where did all that energy come from ? Without going all the way back to the sun, it's
perfectly accurate to say that all the kinetic energy of interest came from your muscles,
even though you're still standing there on the tee with your Hogan in your hand ...
possibly too far away even to hear the crash and the tinkle, but you've certainly transferred
an impressive load of energy today, and you've done it all without transferring the slightest
speck of matter.

A wave that doesn't require matter to transfer energy?
Electromagnetic waves
In optics the transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called?
Absorption
Is electricity a solid liquid or a gas?
It is not a matter. It is one of seven kind of energy. Electricity is produce generator.
How does atom transfer from one organism to another?
Energy and matter are transferred from one organism to another at the microscopic level.
Which is true A Energy must remain where it is created B Energy cannot change from one type to another C Matter requires energy to move and change D It is not possible to store energy for later use?
Answer #1:The answer C Matter requires energy to move and change is true. Matter cannot move and change without energy being exerted on it.=====================================Answer #2:NONE of the choices is true. In particular, there is no such thing as 'exerting energy', and mass doesn't need any input of energy in order to move. Indeed, all matter or any lump of it remains in constant, uniform motion ... moving in a straight line at constant speed ... UNTIL an external force comes along to change its speed or direction. Then, the external force may or may not "do work" (transfer energy either to or from the matter).-- A coasting wagon needs an input of energy to deviate it from a straight path.-- A planet in a circular orbit needs a center-directed force, but needs no energy, and gives up none, in order to keep it in a circular orbit.
Is thermal energy transferred without transfer of matter?
There are three ways to transfer heat energy (thermal energy); convection involves transferring matter, the other two methods (conduction, radiation) don't.
Can the movement of matter occur without energy transfer?
Yes it can.
What is the transfer of thermal energy in waves without matter?
radiation
What wave can transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter?
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
What usually transmits energy without transferring matter?
They are called photons, which are the carriers of electromagnetic energy, regardless of frequency. They have zero rest mass and travel at "c" in a vacuum.
Does radiation transfer energy by moving neutrinos?
Neutrinos are one form of radiation, but not a very efficient one for transferring energy since they readily penetrate most forms of matter. Other forms of radiation such as alpha, beta, gamma, and even neutrons are more effective at energy transfer.
Waves transfer _?
energy
The transfer of thermal energy in matter with no overall transfer of matter is called?
conduction
The transfer of thermal energy in matter wih no overall transfer of matter is called?
Conduction
Can a mechanical wave transfer matter?
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
Which method of transferring thermal energy requires no matter to pass through?
Radiation
