Overview
Work and Energy is a fundamental chapter in physics that explains how forces cause objects to move and how energy exists in different forms around us. This chapter helps us understand why we need energy for daily activities, how machines work, and how energy transforms from one form to another. The
Key Concepts
Work is done when a force
Work is done when a force acts on an object and the object moves in the direction of the force. Work = Force × Displacement (W = F × s). The SI unit i
Energy is the capacity to do
Energy is the capacity to do work. It exists in various forms like kinetic, potential, heat, chemical, electrical, and light energy. Energy can neithe
Energy possessed by an object due
Energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Formula: KE = ½mv², where m is mass and v is velocity. Faster-moving objects have more kinetic energy
Energy possessed by an object due
Energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration. Gravitational potential energy = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gr
Energy can neither be created nor
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. The total energy of an isolated system remains const
