1. Energy Transformations Most forms of energy can be
transformed into other forms. Energy transformation: a change from
one form of energy to another
Slide 3
A. Single Transformations One form of energy sometimes needs to
be transformed into another to get work done Example: toaster
transforms electrical energy to thermal energy
Slide 4
B. Multiple Transformations Often a series of transformations
is needed to do work Example: mechanical energy used to strike a
match is transformed into thermal energy, thermal energy causes the
particles in the match to release stored chemical energy which is
transformed into thermal and electromagnetic energy as you see
light

2. Transformations Between Potential and Kinetic Energy One of
the most common energy transformations is the transformation
between potential energy and kinetic energy.

3. Conservation of Energy Law of conservation of energy: when
one form of energy is transformed to another, no energy is
destroyed According to the law of conservation of energy, energy
cannot be created or destroyed.
Slide 10
A. Energy and Friction Friction transforms mechanical energy to
thermal energy
Slide 11
B. Energy and Matter Matter: anything that has mass and takes
up space Matter can be transformed into energy. Matter and energy
together are always conserved
