Overview

Energy is the capacity to do work. Work is done when a force moves a body through a distance in the direction of the force. Energy and work are measured in joules, and one joule is the work done when a force of 1 newton moves a body by 1 metre. Energy can change from one form to another, but the tot

Key Concepts

Work done = Force × Distance

Work done = Force × Distance moved in the direction of force. When work is done on a body, its energy increases. When a body does work, its energy dec

The SI unit of work

The SI unit of work and energy is the joule (J). 1 J = 1 N × 1 m. Another unit is calorie, and 1 cal = 4.2 J nearly. Also, 1 kcal = 1000 cal.

Energy exists as mechanical

Energy exists as mechanical, heat, light, chemical, sound, magnetic, electrical, and atomic or nuclear energy.

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its state of rest or motion. It has two forms: potential energy and kinetic energy. Total m

Potential energy is the energy possessed

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its state of rest or position. A raised body, a compressed spring, a stretched rubber band,

Learning Objectives

  • Define energy and work in simple terms
