Definition:Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical, or other forms.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of a system remains constant, though energy may transform into another form. Two billiard balls colliding, for example, may come to rest, with the resulting energy becoming sound and perhaps a bit of heat at the point of collision.

The SI unit of energy is the joule (J) or newton-meter (N * m). The joule is also the SI unit of work.

Does energy change form and appear and disappear?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change forms. Energy can appear to "disappear" when it transforms into a different form that is not as easily recognizable, such as potential energy converting to kinetic energy.

Is the form of energy stored in food different from the form of energy stored in gasoline?

Yes, the form of energy stored in food is chemical potential energy that can be broken down through metabolic processes to release energy for the body to use. Gasoline stores energy in the form of chemical bonds that are released when burned or combusted to power engines or machinery.
