- *Energy is the ability for something to cause any change in itself or its environment
- Forms of energy:
- Heat, sound, vibration, translation, rotation, kinetic, potential (spring, gravitational, chemical), nuclear, electrical/magnetic, etc.
- Law of Conservation of Energy - Energy cannot be created nor destroyed - only transformed in a change process
- What forms of energy does the food we eat change into?
- What forms of energy does the gasoline we put into cars change into?

- Gravitational Potential Energy
- Work
- W=Fd; Work's unit is joule [J] Read about James Prescott Joule's honeymoon adventures
- Work/Energy theorem (W=deltaK)
- Work is only done if the force is applied for a distance!
- If there is no distance then no work is done
- How much work is done pushing a book down on a desk? none
- How much work is done sliding a book along a desk? W=Fd=frictional force times the distance. frictional force is equal to mu times the normal force
- How much work is done holding a book in a stationary position? none - no distance change
- How much work is done carrying a book up stairs? W=Fd=weight of the book times the height of the stairs. no work is done in the horizontal direction because no force is applied horizontally

- How much work is done moving the block down a hallway 13 m at constant speed?
- You pull a 42 kg boy on a sled with a rope that makes a 32° angle with the ground. The pull forc is 52 N. How much work is done in moving the boy a distance of 220 m?

- Kinetic energy
- Defining KE
- Use of the work-energy theorem
- A person does 420 J of work on a box by increasing its speed from rest to 3.5 m/s in 8 s. What is the mass of the box? What is the weight of the box? How much work is needed to make it move 7.0 m/s?
- A car with a mass of 1200 kg is moving 45 m/s. What velocity does a truck with mass 3800 kg need to have the same energy?
- A crate with a mass of 13 kg is pulled up an inclined plane with a constant velocity of 2.5 m/s. The pull force is 84 N parallel to the plane and the plane has an angle of 35°. Calculate: mu, KE, Work by gravity, work by you work to friction, change in potential energy. Show the conservation of energy still works.
