energy is used at every second of your life. To breath, move, abd just live requires energy. We also use energy in our day-to-day activities, such as driving, turning on a light, ect.
Energy is defined as a simple storage of substance that makes things function the way they are supposed to. This is shown when energy in the form of mechanical is demonstrated by a simple fan turning. The electricity that is needed to make the fan turn is from the heat of fossil fuels burning to produce heat which is the main source of energy in the U.S. Energy is what makes the world go round and the world function properly. I can argue that we are using too much of it yes, and that we are able to use alternate "healthier"energy sources but that does not change the fact that energy usage is un-sustainable. Completely off topic but it relates on how we use energy
When we use energy, we are really transferring it to another object. For example, when we run, we say we are using energy, but we are actually transferring stored chemical E into mechanical E.
We use energy for basically everything that we do. However, we do not "use" energy the same way we "use" other things. When we "use" energy, we are really transferring it to another form of energy. when we eat food, and then go on a run, we arent "using" the chemical energy we just gained from our food, we are just transferring it into mechanical energy.
Since the word use is in quotes, it is obvious that it is known that energy isn't really used, but rather transferred. However we 'use' energy in everything we do, sometimes without even trying. We use energy to breath, which we do subconsiously. This is a transfer of chemical energy (the food we ate) to mechanical energy (our lungs pulling in and pushing out air). Other things we do take energy, such as walking or running (chemical to mechanical). Not only do we use energy with our bodies, but when we type or use machinery we are transferring our energy to the object. Objects can also use energy without human power, but there is another source of energy to power it (to power a computer, electrical energy is put into the computer and turns to thermal and mechanical energy).
