A scalar quantity measured in joules that can be stored and transferred.
Revise: Recalling Vector and Scalar QuantitiesEnergy has a magnitude and is measured in joules, but it does not point in a direction. It is therefore a scalar. Energy may be transferred from one place or store to another, but the direction of a transfer does not turn energy itself into a vector.
