    1) Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force and is measured in Joules. Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Watts. 2) There are different types of energy including kinetic energy due to an object's motion and potential energy due to its position or height. 3) The work-energy theorem states that the net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy, and the law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy in an isolated system remains constant.
