      Conservative force—a force with the property that the work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path it takes.
    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/13%3A_Heat_and_Heat_Transfer/13.1%3A_Introduction
      Heat is a measurable form of energy that can be transferred from one body to another; it is not a substance.

      Momentum is an important quantity because it is conserved. Yet it appears to not be conserved in the previous exampless, where large changes in momentum were produced by forces acting on the system of...Momentum is an important quantity because it is conserved. Yet it appears to not be conserved in the previous exampless, where large changes in momentum were produced by forces acting on the system of interest. Under what circumstances is momentum conserved? The answer to this question entails considering a sufficiently large system. It is always possible to find a larger system in which total momentum is constant, even if momentum changes for components of the system.
