Which energy forms is involved in winding a pocket watch?

potential energy The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy. An object held in a person's hand has potential energy, which turns to kinetic energy - the energy of motion - when the person lets it go, and it drops to the ground.


What power is and how it is calculated?

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated by dividing the work done or energy transferred by the time taken to do that work or transfer that energy. Mathematically, power = work/time or power = energy/time. The SI unit of power is the watt (W).


What do you call any disturbance that lets energy pass through matter or empty space?

A wave


Does The weight of an object depend on the force of gravity?

yes it is a contributing factor. lets say you were given the weight of a ball in Newtons, lets say 8 Newtons . you would multiply 9.8 0r 10(if you are rounding) by the number of Newtons(8) and you would get your answer in Kilograms. If you are given the Kilograms it is not a contributing factor to weight.


Why do people have different energy and energy requirement?

Because if someone does a large amount of sport, lets say, the amount of carbohydrates they will need to consume in their diet will be higher than someone who does no sport. In the body this carbohydrate then releases energy and provides your muscles with it.
