Document Summary

To describe the state of an object, or a system of objects, in terms of a new quantity called energy. To characterize the motion of a system in terms of kinetic energy. To quantify the energy transfer into or out of a system in terms of the work done by an applied force. To characterize the position of con guration of a system with a potential energy which can be associated with a conservative force. To model changes in the motion of a system using the law of conservation of energy in which changes in motion can occur. When energy is transferred into or out of a system. When energy within the system is transformed from one type to another. Summary of the main ideas from the module. W = f x delta r = f(delta r)(cos theta) it"s like the work done in lifting 0. 1 kg up 1 m against gravity it"s an unit of measurement.
