Energy is the ability of an Kinetic energy is the energy
object or system to do work, possessed by an object due
causing change or motion. to its motion.

Energy Transformation:
Potential to Kinetic
Potential Energy
At the top of the hill, the ball has maximum potential
energy, stored due to its position.
Energy Conversion
As the ball rolls down, potential energy transforms into
kinetic energy, the energy of motion.
Kinetic Energy
At the bottom, the ball has maximum kinetic energy
and minimum potential energy.
Real-Life Examples of

Units of Measurement
Heat is typically measured in Joules (J), while
temperature is measured in Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F),
or Kelvin (K).
The Connection Between Heat, Temperature,
and Energy
Heat as Energy Transfer

1
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures.
Temperature as Energy Measure

2 Temperature reflects the average kinetic energy of particles within a
substance.
Energy is the Root of Heat

3 Heat transfer occurs because of differences in
energy levels between objects.
Heat Transfer Mechanisms: Conduction,
Convection, and Radiation
Conduction: Direct Contact Convection: Fluid Movement Radiation: Electromagnetic
Waves
Heat transfer through direct Heat transfer through the
contact between objects, where movement of fluids (liquids or Heat transfer through
heat flows from a hotter object gases) where warmer, less electromagnetic waves, which
