Document Summary

Transfer of energy from one place to another, usually in the from of heat: multiple types of energy - can change from one type to another, studied quantitatively - with numbers. Definition from physics - ability to do some type of work where work is moving and object against force: measured in joules (j) Kinetic energy - energy of moving objects: ex: Thermal - like heat: temperature is not thermal energy, temperature is directly proportional to thermal energy. Energy that is stoned in position, composition, intermolecular forces, or conditions: ex: tire at top of a hill, ex: chemical (bonds), mass (e = mc2), electrical (e= Energy may be transferred (moves from 1 place or thing to another) or transformed (energy change from one type to another) Surroundings - an area that is not the system: the area outside of where you are studying (outside of the system)
