Instructions
Read the questions carefully and provide your answers in the spaces provided. Make sure to express your understanding of energy conservation, transfers, and transformations in various systems.
1. Define Energy Conservation
2. Describe how energy transfers occur in a closed system. Provide an example.
3. Explain the concept of energy transformation and give two examples of systems where this occurs.
4. In your own words, summarize how the laws of thermodynamics relate to energy conservation.
5. Diagram: Create a simple diagram that illustrates energy transfer using a pendulum. Label the types of energy at different points of the pendulum's swing (e.g., potential energy, kinetic energy).
6. Discuss the importance of energy conservation in environmental science. What are the implications if energy is not conserved?
7. Research Topic: Choose one specific technology that uses the principles of energy conservation and transformation. Write a brief summary of how it works and its impact on society.
