Chapter 5 / 5.8 The Conservation of Mechanical Energy

Here are your friendly physics notes on mechanical energy conservation – perfect for high school students! 🌟 “`html Understanding Mechanical Energy Conservation 🔑 Key Concepts for NEET Conservative forces (like gravity/springs) depend only on start/end positions, not path taken. Total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) is conserved when only conservative forces act. At maximum height

Chapter 5 / 5.7 The Concept of Potential Energy

Here are your friendly physics notes on Potential Energy and Conservation of Mechanical Energy, perfect for high-school students! 🌟 “`html What is Potential Energy? Imagine energy that’s “stored” and ready for action! 🏹 That’s potential energy. Examples: A stretched bowstring 💪 (releases energy as an arrow flies). Fault lines in Earth’s crust 🌍 (like compressed

Chapter 5 / 5.6 The Work-Energy Theorem for a Variable Force

🔋 Work-Energy Theorem for Variable Forces 1. Work Done by a Variable Force When a force changes with distance (e.g., the woman pushing the trunk 🧳), work is calculated by finding the area under the force vs. displacement graph: For a linearly decreasing force (like in Example 5.5): \( W = \text{Area of rectangle} +

Chapter 5 / 5.2 Notions of Work and Kinetic Energy – The Work-Energy Theorem

Kinetic Energy and Work Kinetic Energy (K): The energy an object has due to its motion. Formula: \[ K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \] where \( m \) = mass and \( v \) = speed. Work (W): Done by a force on an object when it causes displacement. Formula for constant force: \[ W = \mathbf{F}
