State that energy can be transformed without loss

Apply energy transformation to simple situations

3

Transfer of energy

4

1) Energy can not be created or destroyed

Conservation of energy

The ball is raised, gaining potential energy (E = mgh)

The potential energy was not ‘created’

It came from the energy stored in the muscles

5

2) Energy can be transformed from one type into another

Conservation of energy

The potential energy of the ball transforms into kinetic energy

6

3) Energy can be transferred from one object to another

Conservation of energy

As the first ball collides with the others, it stops.

The ball at the end moves off at the same speed as the first. The kinetic energy has been transferred.
