- Lesson 7: Conservation of Energy-
- When the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from that object
- The total energy of a system is conserved
- Energy may transform from one form of energy to another
- The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant- In other words the amount of Energy that is started with remains the same within the system. There is no energy gained or no energy lost.
- Energy may take different forms (e.g. energy in fields, thermal energy, energy of motion).
Lesson 7: Conservation of Energy-
Writing support for Energy Transfer and Energy Transformations.
ASSIGNMENT #1
