What is energy?

Energy is a fundamental property of nature that allows things to change and move. It is defined as the ability to do work, which is the exertion of force over a distance. Energy comes in many different forms, including mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, radiant (including light), and gravitational. These different forms of energy can be converted from one to another through various processes, such as burning fuel to produce heat and kinetic energy in an engine. Energy is constantly being transferred and transformed in the universe, making it an essential concept in physics and an important topic for understanding the workings of the natural world.
