Work and Energy is a fundamental chapter in physics that explains how forces cause motion and how energy enables all activities around us. In everyday life, we use the word 'work' for any physical or mental effort, but in science, work has a specific meaning. This chapter helps us understand the sci
Key Concepts
Work is done when two conditions
Work is done when two conditions are satisfied: (1) A force acts on an object, and (2) The object is displaced in the direction of the force. Work = F
Energy is the capacity to do
Energy is the capacity to do work. An object possessing energy can exert force on another object and transfer energy to it. Energy exists in various f
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. For an object of mass m moving with velocity v, kinetic energy Ek = ½mv². Movin
Potential energy is the energy possessed
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration. Gravitational potential energy for an object at height h i
Energy can neither be created nor
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another. The total energy of an isolated system remains constan
