Question

Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it?

Answer 1

Conversion of energy:

1. From the conservation of energy we know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
2. While pushing a huge stationary rock, there is no transfer of muscular energy to the heavy rock takes place.
3. This energy is instead converted into heat energy making the body hot, so there is no loss of energy.
4. Hence, as there is no movement so no work is done and the law of conservation of energy is not violated.
