The effects of entropy are to create progressively disordered states.
For energy, this means that energy sinks to its lowest state - the ground state.
For heat, this is around 2.7 K (degrees absolute), the temperature of outer space.
Since energy must be transferred ("flow") to do work, it's not currently possible to get ground state energy to move - there is no large volume of any lower temperature for it to "flow" to.

Is work the rate which you expand energy?
YES, you cant create or destroy energy. all it does is transfer (gain or loss)
Why cant we get all the power we need from renewable energy sources right now?
Why cant we get all the power we need from renewable energy sources right now?
On what energy does can lighting work?
Electricity is used for lighting and it is measured in kilowatts per hour. It is estimated that about 17% to 20% of all electricity used in the US is for lighting alone.
What is a unit of measure for all forms of energy?
The international unit for energy (and work) is the joule.
Can nuclear energy work well with other form of energy?
yes it will resist some but not all

How do people get energy to do work?
we get all our energy from food as energy can't be produce or destroyed. it can only be used up

What is your responsibility towards nuclear energy?
None at all. I used to work in the industry but am now retired
How do all cells work similarly in all organisms?
They work similarly because they all need energy and they all use energy.
All froms of energy can do work?
Yes do can from work? In is energy fine neurotic frog
Why energy is changing when work is done?
Because that's what "work" is all about - energy transfer.
How do organisms use chemical energy to do work?
*Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change* Organisms store energy in organic molecules as chemical energy* Free energy is the portion of energy released during chemical reactions that is available to do work* -
Why is the Sun necessary for all enery types?
Energy cant be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another. The sun gives off the most energy because of the heat. The heat gets transferred into light energy and it is what is mainly used.
The percentage of energy from a fuel that is actually used to perform work is its?
That is called efficiency. An efficiency of 1 (or 100%) means that all the energy is converted into useful work.That is called efficiency.

Why is mechanical energy and nuclear energy alike?
All energy can be thought of as the capacity to do work
What is the differece between thermal energy and heat?
Thermal energy is a specific type of energy that all objects have. Heat refers specifically to the TRANSFER of this type of energy. I believe this is similar to the difference between "mechanical energy" and "work" (where "work" refers to the transfer of such energy). However, the two terms are actually often used interchangeably.
