(HS.PC3B.c) Mathematical expressions allow the concept of conservation of energy to be used to predict and describe system behavior. These expressions quantify how the stored energy in a system depends on its configuration (e.g. relative positions of charged...

(HS.PC3B.b) Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transported from one place to another and transferred between systems.

(HS.PS3B.a) Conservation of energy means that the total change of energy in any system is always equal to the total energy transferred into or out of the system.

(HS.PS3A.a) Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total energy is conserved, even as,...

.(HS.PS4B.b) When light or longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in matter, it is generally converted into thermal energy (heat). Shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) can ionize atoms and cause damage to...
