-
Kinetic energy: \({E}_{k}=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}\)
-
Conservation of Energy: Energy is never created nor destroyed, but is only transformed from one form to another.
-
Conservation of Mechanical Energy: in the absence of non-conservative forces mechanical energy is conserved.
-
When a force acting on an object has a component along the line of motion, work is done.
-
Work is the process of transferring energy from object or system to another.
-
Energy is the ability to do work.
