112.39.c.6

(6) Science concepts. The student knows that changes occur within a physical system and applies the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. The student is expected to:

  • (A) investigate and calculate quantities using the work-energy theorem in various situations; 
  • (B) investigate examples of kinetic and potential energy and their transformations; 
  • (C) calculate the mechanical energy of, power generated within, impulse applied to, and momentum of a physical system; 
  • (D) demonstrate and apply the laws of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum in one dimension; and
  • (E) explain everyday examples that illustrate the four laws of thermodynamics and the processes of thermal energy transfer.
