recognising that in energy transfer and transformation, a variety of processes can occur, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system is not 100% efficient
comparing energy changes in interactions such as car crashes, pendulums, lifting and dropping
using models to describe how energy is transferred and transformed within systems
