What is scientific argumentation?

Back

Scientific argumentation is a claim supported by evidence, used to justify scientific conclusions.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
