Energy Transformations & Conservation

Energy Transformations A change from one form of energy to another Most forms of energy can be transformed into other forms. Some energy changes involve single transformations, while others involve many transformations.

Changes Between Kinetic & Potential

The Law of Conservation of Energy Energy can be transformed from one form into another or transferred from region to another but energy cannot be created or destroyed

Examples: Single Transformation

Example: Multiple Transformations

Energy Transfer Diagram Different types of energy can be transferred from one type to another. Energy transfer diagrams show each type of energy, whether it is stored or not, and the processes taking place as energy is transferred.
