__OBJECTIVES__: 1. Compare conceptually and mathematically situations involving potential-kinetic energy transformations (pendulum, falling object, roller coaster, inclined plane, block-spring system) indicating the amount of energy at various locations. 2. Summarize the concept of energy conservation - energy can be stored and transferred, but cannot be created or destroyed. 3. Conclude that in all situations, energy tends to dissipate throughout the environment generally due to friction resulting in heat transfer. ||
