WorkWorkThe work done by force is defined
as the product of that force times the parallel distance over which it acts.
cosFsWThe unit of work is the newton-
meter, called a joule (J)
EnergyEnergyThe amount of energy transferred to the object is equal
to the work done.
Types of Energy
• Kinetic Energy = “Motion Energy”
• Potential Energy = “Stored Energy”
Kinetic EnergyKinetic EnergyKinetic Energy is the
energy possessed by an object because it is in motion.
