What’s so Great About Energy? It’s a scalar; forget those vector headaches It’s a scalar; forget those vector headaches It’s useful in all of physics and in other sciences It’s useful in all of physics and in other sciences It’s conserved, meaning the total amount of it doesn’t change It’s conserved, meaning the total amount of it doesn’t change
