energy changes

• what are the components of an objects internal energy store?

  Kinetic energy and potential energy
• what does the principle of the conservation of energy state?

  Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another.
• the methods of energy transfer are electrical work, mechanical work, heating, and waves
• what is mechanical work?

  energy transferred via a force
• what is electrical work?

  a electrical current transferred
• what does heating do?

  increases an objects internal energy
• what can waves do?

  Transfer energy and information.
• what are the energy transfers?

  mechanically, electrical, thermal, radiation
• what is the conservation of energy principle?

  energy can be transferred, stored or dissipated but never created or destroyed
