Work, Energy, and PowerWhat is Energy? Well, put simply, Energy is the ability to do Work! That doesn't help very much though does it? Unless you know the definition of Work. Hopefully if you have gotten this far in the semester you will understand then this simple definition of Work. Work is using some amount of Force to move an object over a distance. If we take this idea one step further and say that this Work occurs over some amount of time, well then this would be us using some amount of Power.
Work, Energy, and Power and directly related to each other. Most of the equations in this unit coincide with the equations from the velocity and acceleration. |
