What to Focus On

  • Work is done only when an object moves due to a force.
  • No movement means no work.
  • Examples: lifting a book, kicking a ball, pulling a cart.

  • Energy is the power to do work.
  • We get energy from food, Sun, fuels, etc.
  • More energy is needed for more difficult tasks.

  • Heat Energy: comes from the Sun or burning fuels.
  • Light Energy: helps us see; comes from the Sun, bulbs, candles.
  • Mechanical Energy: of two types — kinetic (moving objects) and potential (stored energy).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If a force is applied, work is always done.

Energy and force are the same thing.

Only living things have energy.
