Conservation of Energy and Calculating Energy Changes in Objects

The video explores the principle of energy conservation, focusing on gravitational potential and kinetic energy. It uses a pendulum and a vertically thrown ball to illustrate energy transfer and conservation. The video explains how energy is conserved and converted between different forms, providing equations for calculating gravitational potential and kinetic energy. Examples demonstrate how to apply these equations to real-world scenarios, emphasizing the importance of understanding energy dynamics.
