In the study of energy, two main forms are considered: kinetic energy, associated with the motion of objects, and potential energy, related to their position or state within a force field. Work, defined as the product of force and displacement, plays a crucial role in energy transfer. The work-kinetic energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

Gravitational potential energy is linked to lifting objects against gravity, where work is done against the gravitational force. Conservative forces, like gravity, exhibit path-independent work, while non-conservative forces, such as friction, depend on the specific path taken.

Mechanical energy, the sum of kinetic and potential energies, is conserved in isolated systems with conservative internal forces.

Elastic potential energy is stored in elastic materials, like springs, and is given by the equation (Elastic potential energy)Eep = (spring constant)x(amount of extension or compression of the spring).

Power is the rate at which work is done or the rate at which energy is transferred or transformed. Mathematically, power (P) is defined as the amount of work done (W) or energy transferred (E) per unit of time (t). The formula for power is:

P ave = deltaW/delta T

the instantaneous power can be found as: P(t)=dw/dt

power is constant over time is P avg=P times (t)

In summary, this energy unit explores the interplay between kinetic and potential energy, work, conservative and non-conservative forces, mechanical energy conservation, elastic potential energy, and power.
