Work, Energy and Power

Work and Kinetic EnergySign up

understand and use the definitions of work done by a force, kinetic energy KE = 1/2 m v^2 and gravitational potential energy PE = m g h · be able to apply the work-energy principle and the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to motion under gravity, friction and other forces

PowerSign up

understand and use the definition of power as P = Fv for a vehicle of constant driving force, and apply it to problems of motion on level ground and on an inclined plane
