    Energy is the capacity to supply heat or do work. Two ways to transfer energy: Heat (Originate from difference in temperatures (i.e., average kinetic energy of molecules)) and Work (moving an object against a resistance (e.g., expansion work of a gas)). Mechanical work: \(w=Fd\), Expansion (PV) Work: w=PΔV (under constant pressure).
