Slide Number 4 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, Learner should be familiar with topics in high school Physics.
Slide Number 5 & 6 Learning Goals	Using this simulation we will learn, About law of conservation of energy. To show Pie Chart and Bar Graphs for energy changes. To use Energy vs Position graph to show the energy value at a particular position. To change Location and observe the energy changes. About change in energy due to change in Mass and Friction.
Slide Number 7 Law of Conservation of Energy	According to law of conservation of energy, Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another. The total energy before and after the transformation is conserved.
Slide Number 8 Potential Energy PE = mgh m=mass of object(kg), g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s2) h=height (m)	Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position. PE = mgh where, m is mass of object g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height
Slide Number 9 Kinetic Energy KE =1/2 mv2 m is mass of object (kg) v is velocity (m/s)	Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. KE =1/2 mv2 where, m is mass of object and v is velocity
