Thinking in Energy - Level 3 - Energy and Energy Transfer

The video 'Thinking in Energy, Level 3, Energy and Energy Transfer' introduces the concept of energy, defining it as the ability to cause change. It contrasts energy with matter and explores how energy can be transferred between objects. Using examples like a Stirling engine and sandpaper blocks, the video demonstrates different types of energy and their transfer, emphasizing the importance of identifying energy changes in systems.

What is a fundamental characteristic of energy according to the video?

• It cannot be transferred.

• It is the same as matter.

• It has the ability to cause change.
