Understand and review energy concepts with this study guide.

This introduction to potential energy contains illustrated examples, example problems, and interactive exercises for application of learning.

Introduce students to the concept of kinetic energy through interactive practice exercises and illustrated examples.

Through examples and interactive practice problems, motion will be approached from the perspective of work and energy.

Introduce students to the concept of mechanical energy through interactive practice exercises and illustrated examples.

Through illustrated examples and interactive examples, students learn about the two categories of forces are referred to as internal forces and external forces.

This passage will test your knowledge on work and energy.

In the following tutorial, students will learn about the law of conservation of energy. They will read about some of the many forms of energy. They will understand the definition of efficiency of an energy conversion process as the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate how all types of energy, including work, relate to each other and are conserved in a closed system.

In this module, students learn how work, energy, and power are related to one another in various ways. They also learn about collisions and the conservation of momentum.

In this section of the textbook, find information about how heat and work transfer energy. Also understand how a heat transfer is related to temperature and what mechanical equivalent of heat relates to work and heat transfer. Book can...

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain gravitational potential energy in terms of work done against gravity, show that the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at height h on Earth is given by PEg = mgh,...

From a chapter on work and energy in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter covers the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy resources, the growth in the world's energy consumption, and the link between energy use...

Find out about simple machines, calculate the mechanical advantage and efficiency of machines, differentiate potential and kinetic energy, and learn ways to use energy more efficiently.

This site from Georgia State University Physics Department defines kinetic energy and compares and contrasts it with other forms of energy. Provides an equation and links to further, more-detailed information.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this module, calculate work and explain how it relates to the overarching idea of energy.

In the following interactive students will begin to explain how an object must be displaced for a force on it to do work. They will also explain how relative directions of force and displacement determine whether the work done is...

In this interactive module, students learn the basic terminology and concepts of power as it has to do with work and energy.

In this interactive exercise, explore the quantitative relationship between work and mechanical energy in situations in which there are no external forces doing work.

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students apply the relationship between work and mechanical energy change to a variety of motion scenarios in order to test our understanding.

This lesson focuses on energy and power. Energy is a key principle in physics, as it allows work to be done. The rate at which energy is transferred is called power and the amount of energy that is usefully transferred is called...

At this site from Georgia State University the first law of thermodynamics is stated and explained. The meaning of internal energy and enthalpy is discussed. Equations are given and the importance of a system analysis is discussed.

This site from Georgia State University Physics Department defines and explains the concept of potential energy. Using equations and graphics to illustrate the idea, it discusses the many types of potential energy (gravitational,...

The activity investigates conservation of energy. Some topics explored are friction, kinetic energy, conservation of energy, and potential energy. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, practice problems, and exam...
