    This study guide provides formulas and examples for work, power, and energy. It includes formulas for work (W=Fd), kinetic energy (KE=1/2mv^2), gravitational potential energy (GPE=mgh), elastic potential energy (EPE=1/2kx^2), and power (P=W/t, P=Fd/t). It also gives 20 practice problems calculating these variables in situations involving lifting masses, springs, motion up inclines, and more. Key concepts covered are the relationships between work, energy, power, and how changing one variable affects the others.
