Law of the conversion of Energy
Energy can be stored or transferred but it cannot be created or destroyed
Mechanical work
a force moving an object through a distance
Electrical work
due to temperature difference caused electrically or by chemical reaction
Heating
charges moving due to a potential difference
Radiation9;’[;
energy transferred as a wave
The amount of energy in a substance depends in three things :
Temperature mass and what type of material
Independent variable:
The independent variable is changed to change the dependent variable
Dependent variable
The thing that is changed because of the independent
Temperautre
A measure of how hot or cold something is.
Thermometer
Something that measures Temperature

Dependent Variable
X axis in a table
Independent variable
Diffusion
Goes to a place from high concentration to a place which has low concentration.
