Anna's notes ||  ||   || // eg from movement to heat. The total amount of energy does not change // //but the useful energy can spread out into non-useful types. //
 * 17 || 23 Apr || Energy //Energy is measured in joules (J). It is transferred when forces act, and can change type //

A rollercoaster uses energy transfer to create an exciting ride.  At the top of a ride there is gravitational potential energy which  becomes movement (also called kinetic energy) when it drops. || Karin was sick  energy Transfer video @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC-d6Tcl0TU
