Unit Three: Energy
Our universe is made up of matter and energy. Matter is made up of anything that has mass and takes up space where energy allows the ability to do work or have the ability to move or elicit change in matter. In other words, energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other independent objects or be converted into different forms. It is described as “a system to perform work.” We have two different types of energy; kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. This allows work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. This use of energy becomes constant until the speed changes. Potential energy is when energy results from a position or configuration. This gives objects the capacity to do work as a result of its position in a gravitational field, an electric field or in a magnetic field.
There are many electrical/power innovations that are known to be eco-friendly to our environment however; there can be drawbacks from these household objects or other items containing energy.

It is supported by many credits and incentives that helps make it affordable in pricing. (Financial benefits)A hybrid vehicle is cleaners and requires less fuel to run therefore less emissions and less dependence on fossil. This is useful to twice the pitch of gasoline in domestic market.( Less dependence on fossil fuels)The hybrid car is made up of lighter materials which contains less energy required to run. The engine is known to be small and lighter which saves a lot of energy. (Built from light
