It highlights the importance of energy in modern society and introduces kinetic and potential energy. Hooke???s Law is discussed as an example of energy conversion between kinetic and potential forms. Work is defined as energy expenditure to move an object against a force, with applications illustrated in examples like gas expansion.

It describes how water circulates, absorbs heat, and is cooled in the radiator. The concept of specific heat is introduced through the formula q=cp×m×ΔT, allowing for calculations of heat absorption, mass, and temperature changes. Examples illustrate how to compute specific heat and predict final temperatures during heating or cooling.
