Are all forms of energy either motion or the ability to put matter into motion?

Even e=mcc seems like it is about motion because mass is relating energy with acceleration in



F*d = E = m*a*d



and then when you lose mass in fusion reactions then you get energy from the mass in a form of heat/motion.



Chemical energy also is about electron orbits and their ability to be in motion. Right?Are all forms of energy either motion or the ability to put matter into motion?Yes, because the *definition* of energy is the capacity to perform work, and work is force (i.e. acceleration per mass) over a distance.Are all forms of energy either motion or the ability to put matter into motion?what about photons? they dont have mass, but they have enegry. i mean im not disagreeing with you. im just posing a questionAre all forms of energy either motion or the ability to put matter into motion?All energy has the ability to be transformed into another type of energy, presuming a 100% efficient transformation. In all real transformations, some energy is dissipated as heat.



You can argue that all energy exists because something is in motion, or because something has energy because of its location.



Do not listen to the poster who previously talked about photons. Photons do have an effective mass, and photons are in motion. Photons have zero rest mass, only because they don't exist at rest.Are all forms of energy either motion or the ability to put matter into motion?
You can describe energy as resting in sense of E=mc^2 means a potential energy a particle has like electron .510 m/ev or up quark 11 m/ev. Though no body has absolute rest according to Newton but it does have a physical energy. It's like saying would the Universe be born without motion. Obiviously no it would not be born so energy can be intrepet as motion in sense it manifest itself a lot as it. An to the photon thing photon really only travels constantly because it has no mass, no conservation laws, and no applying to Newtons Laws. It does get slowed down by gravity but so slight because gravity is very weak .That is because gravity is negative energy which explains Hawking Radiation and creation of virtual particles. The fusion relates to potential energy of paricle and a isolated system or another name the fundamental interaction equilibrium. An example is Aurora Borealis where not only does the thermal or kinetic energy of particle determine wavelength (high frequency more energy) of photon emitted but the .510 m/ev of electron adds to creation of a gamma ray, muon, tauon etc. Chemical reactions are same and conservation of thermal energy of atom is reason why flames are blue on bottom.

Also if you gain mass from kinetic energy than you would only be twice your mass at speed of light 186,000 miles per second. That is definetely not enough to effect you but does change time like Twin Paradox says. That equation you have is for Newton Laws which applies to kinetic energy of body not reactions.

Heat does effect particle mass a lot and is one many reasons why particle accelarators can create a 100 m/ev W boson. So don't associate energy with motion because its like trying to define Universe without living in it. Energy is only intrepetation of the mind.

Hope this helps you
