Chapter 6: Work and Energy
Objectives
- How do I find the Work I do
- ...with a constant force?
- ...with a variable force?
- What is Kinetic Energy, and how does it relate to work?
- I know that falling objects gain kinetic energy, is this from Potential
Energy?
- ...and how do I calculate it?
- What are the different types of forces?
- What is Mechanical Energy?
- Why is it important,
- and, how can I use it?
- What are other forms of energy and how do they combine with
mechanical energy to form Conservation of Energy?
- Why can little engines do big things (what is the difference
between Energy and Power)?
