Overview
Work and energy are fundamental concepts in physics that help us understand how forces cause changes in motion and how energy is transferred in our daily activities. This chapter explores the scientific definitions of work and energy, different forms of energy, and the principle of conservation of e
Key Concepts
Work is done only when
Work is done only when: (1) A force acts on an object AND (2) The object moves in the direction of force. Work = Force × Displacement (W = F×s). Unit:
Energy possessed by an object due
Energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Formula: K.E. = ½mv², where m is mass and v is velocity. Faster moving objects have more kinetic ener
Energy possessed by an object due
Energy possessed by an object due to its position or shape. Gravitational P.E. = mgh (height-based). Elastic P.E. exists in compressed/stretched objec
Energy can neither be created nor
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. Total mechanical energy (K.E. + P.E.) remains constant in absenc
Rate of doing work or rate
Rate of doing work or rate of energy transfer. Power = Work/Time (P = W/t). Unit: Watt (W). 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second. Measures how quickly work is
