Goal 3
- Objective 3.01
- Investigate and analyze storage of energy:
- Kinetic energy.
- Potential energies: gravitational, chemical, electrical, elastic, nuclear.
- Thermal energy.
- Find related resources
- Objective 3.02
- Investigate and analyze transfer of energy by work:
- Force.
- Distance.
- Find related resources
- Objective 3.03
- Investigate and analyze transfer of energy by heating:
- Thermal energy flows from a higher to a lower temperature.
- Energy will not spontaneously flow from a lower temperature to a higher temperature.
- It is impossible to build a machine that does nothing but convert thermal energy into useful work.
