Topic 2 Potential and Kinetic Energy Law of conservation of energy Natural Sciences - Grade 7
![Law of conservation of energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it Law of conservation of energy • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/8676b9c634249fb321315f252f965302/image-3.jpg)
Law of conservation of energy • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it is changed or converted from one form to another. • Energy flows / transfers between different parts of a system. • We can study this transfer of energy within a system through flow diagrams. Natural Sciences - Grade 7

Flow diagram example: • Plastic Ruler The ruler bends. The bent ruler has elastic potential energy. The potential energy changes to kinetic energy when the bent ruler is released. NB: When drawing an energy flow diagram you need to identify: v Where the energy comes from (the input energy). v Where the energy goes ( transfer into output energy). v The changes in potential and kinetic energy in the process. Natural Sciences - Grade 7

Flow diagram example: Water wheel Gravity lets the water fall onto the fins of the water wheel. Gravitational potential Energy is changed to kinetic energy. The water at a height, has gravitational potential energy. A person has to wind up the toy car. It now has elastic potential energy. The elastic potential energy is now changed to kinetic energy. Wind up toy car [above] Natural Sciences - Grade 7 The falling water causes the water wheel to turn. The toy car moves.
