Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.

What are the two basic types of energy?

There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.


Can organisms use potential energy to do work?

Yes, organisms can use potential energy to do work. For example, plants convert potential energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose into kinetic energy for growth and movement. Animals also utilize potential energy stored in food molecules to fuel their activities.

Explain how the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?

1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
