Blog Post #3 Reflect on our model of energy so far. Our model of energy can be shown through a state diagram. This is confusing to understand at first, but it describes how energy is transferred and what is affecting the energy. Some of the things we thought we knew have been called in to question the last few classes. Is it really true? For me, I'd have to explain why I believe certain types of energy are being transferred into other energy sources, or if I have to explain why it is leaving my state diagram. Usually, I am correct in my predictions, but sometimes people can reason why they are correct, and I agree with them. What evidence exists to help us understand what is going on? Simple observations can be made, but sometimes we have to make predictions. For example, we can know that kinetic energy is being transferred into sound energy because we can hear the gears grinding together in the wind-up toy. Have any of the activities given you evidence to supp...
