1

Work

  • Work is done when a force acts on an object and causes displacement in the direction of force
  • Two conditions must be satisfied: (1) Force must be applied, (2) Object must be displaced
  • Work = Force × Displacement (when force and displacement are in same direction)
2

Energy

  • Energy is the capacity to do work
  • Energy exists in various forms: kinetic, potential, heat, light, chemical, electrical
  • Energy is a scalar quantity with same unit as work (joule)
3

Kinetic Energy

  • Energy possessed by an object due to its motion
  • Faster moving objects have more kinetic energy
  • Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity of object
4

Potential Energy

  • Energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration
  • Gravitational potential energy depends on height above reference level
  • Higher objects have more gravitational potential energy
