-In this course, you have worked with the 3 central principles to mechanics, [[183_notes:momentum_principle|the momentum principle]], [[183_notes:define_energy#the_first_law_of_thermodynamics_the_energy_principle|the energy principle]], and [[183_notes:l_principle|the angular momentum principle]]. These 3 principles can predict or explain all motion in the universe as we know it. They are incredibly powerful principles that have been tested in many experiments. In this last set of notes, you will be reminded of them. +In this course, you have worked with the 3 central principles to mechanics, [[183_notes:momentum_principle|the momentum principle]], [[183_notes:define_energy#the_first_law_of_thermodynamics_the_energy_principle|the energy principle]], and [[183_notes:l_principle|the angular momentum principle]]. **These 3 principles can predict or explain all motion in the universe as we know it.

-The energy principle describes how the energy of a system will change as a result of external work and energy exchange due to a temperature difference. It is a scalar principle as it describes how energy is transferred in and out as well as around a system in different forms. +**The energy principle describes how the energy of a system will change as a result of external work and energy exchange due to a temperature difference.** It is a scalar principle as it describes how energy is transferred in and out as well as around a system in different forms.
