2 Introduction to Work Fundamental Concept of Work in Physics Work done is defined as the energy transfer occurring when a force moves an object over a distance. No movement means no work, despite applied force.
Defining Work Done
5 Gravitational Potential Energy Understanding Energy in a Gravitational Field
The greater the mass, the more gravitational potential energy an object can store. Mass Increased height results in higher gravitational potential energy , as energy depends on position relative to ground. Height The strength of gravity influences GPE; stronger gravitational fields increase energy stored in objects. Gravitational Field Strength Factors Affecting GPE
7 Kinetic Energy Understanding the Energy of Motion
Kinetic Energy Equation The Kinetic Energy (KE) of an object is calculated using the formula KE = ½ × m × v². This demonstrates how an object's speed significantly influences its energy, particularly as velocity increases.
10 Energy Changes in a Rollercoaster Understanding GPE and KE Dynamics As a rollercoaster climbs to its peak, it reaches maximum gravitational potential energy (GPE). During the descent, this energy transforms into kinetic energy (KE), reaching its maximum at the bottom.
