Understanding Energy Conversion
Energy conversion is a core concept in physics, helping us to understand the processes that power our world.
In the world of froges, energy transformations are everywhere! From the lily pads they jump on, to the water they splash in.
Types of Energy
- Kinetic Energy - Energy of motion as the froge leaps through the air!
- Potential Energy - Stored energy when a froge crouches, ready to jump.
- Thermal Energy - Heat energy as the sun warms the froge's favorite pond.
The Law of Conservation of Energy
The total energy of an isolated system remains constant. Froge energy transformations are a classic example!
