Energy

The definition of energy is related to the ability to generate movement or achieve the transformation of something. According to technology and the economy, it is a natural resource that can be used industrially

For physics, energy is an abstract quantity linked to the dynamism of a closed system and which remains unchanged over time. It is an abstract aspect that is assigned to the state of a physical system.

Because of their properties, be it the chemical composition, mass, or temperature, all bodies have energy.

According to physics, we can find two types of energy, classical and quantum. According to technology, we find renewable and non-renewable energy.

• The matter is everything that has mass and occupies a place in space.
• Energy is the ability to generate movement or achieve the transformation of something.
• The matter is a physical concept.
• Energy is an abstract concept.
