This video explores the angles found in parallel lines.

Forces at a distance are explained by fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic) permeating space that can transfer energy through space. Magnets or electric currents cause magnetic fields; electric charges or changing magnetic fields cause electric fields. 

Learn how you can calculate the maximum height of a launched object by using the total energy of a system. Energy that is conserved can be transferred within a system from one object to another changing the characteristics of each object, like position. 

Mathematical expressions, which quantify how the stored energy in a system depends on its configuration (e.g. relative positions of charged particles, compression of a spring) and how kinetic energy depends on mass and speed, allow the concept of conservation of energy to be used to predict and describe system behaviour.

Learn how you can calculate the launch velocity of an object by using the total energy of a system. Energy that is conserved can be transferred within a system from one object to another changing the characteristics of each object, like velocity.

Concept of density. This YouTube video will provide information about the concept of density. It’s great to use as an introduction to the topic or as a way to summarise the topic.

Density of a solid for a regular shaped body. Definition, meaning and its simple calculation

When two objects interacting through a field change relative position, the energy stored in the field is changed.
