ENERGY
• Measures a change in the condition
of matter (change can be in velocity,
position, mass, etc.)
• There is no such thing as pure energy.
Energy is the measure of a change
(and force is the agent of the change).

Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of matter
(translational) Kinetic Energy - depends on the motion of
macroscopic objects (e.g. a car in motion) moving linearly

Example
A 1200 kg car can accelerate from 3.0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in
10.0 s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, what is the
mechanical power that the engine of the car provides during
this time interval?

Law of Conservation of Energy
Non-conservative forces (friction, applied, normal, tension)
change the mechanical energy, but total energy remains constant.
