By the end of this module you will be able to …
- Identify work as the concept describing the main mechanism through which the energy of a system can change, and calculate its value for different types of forces
- Explain what a conservative force means and describe the multiple methods that can be used to qualify a force as being conservative
- Apply the Kinetic Energy / Work Theorem and the Law of Energy Conservation to analyze problems involving conservative, non-conservative, and dissipative forces
- Explore the connection between force and potential energy, and calculate one from the other and vice versa
- Through examples recognize and illustrate the relationships between the different types of energy, work, and power
