- This chapter discusses work, energy, and power. It explains the relationships between these concepts and covers energy changes and mechanical efficiency.
- Students will learn to define and calculate work, energy, and power using formulas like kinetic energy (Ek = 1/2mv2), gravitational potential energy (Ep = mgh), and power (P = W/t). They will also learn about the conservation of energy and conversions between different energy forms.
- Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating speed, work, efficiency, and more by applying the relevant formulas to mechanical systems and problems.
