B. Energy
Although, horse is weaker than carabao, but because of its higher speed, its power is
higher than carabao. This could be the same reason why Manny Pacquiao wins over
his Mexican opponents.
Forms of Energy:
2.Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) – does not need matter, radiant energy that travels
through space (from the sun/stars)
The radiative force increases as the wavelenght decreases. Gamma ray has the
highest power while the radiowave has the lowest power (cannot be felt).

Principle – Law of conservation of energy – energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but
only converted from one form to another.
Examples:
1. Photoelectric effect in solar panels – electrons are ejected from metal when exposed
to sunlight.
2. Light Bulb – AC powered.
3. Billiard balls collision – mother ball hits other balls
4. Magat high dam with pennstock rotating turbine and dynamo.
5. Biomass gasifier – uses organic wastes for cooking
Activity: What are the energy inputs (watts) and outputs (watts) of the above examples?
