Study Notes
- The laws of conservation of energy state that the internal energy of a system is the sum of heat flow and work done on the system.
- The relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy is described by the formula KE1 + PE1 = KE2 + PE2.
- Total energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
- Examples of the law of conservation of energy include torches converting chemical energy to electrical energy and hydroelectric power plants converting potential energy of water to kinetic energy of turbines.
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another or transferred between bodies.
