    Introduction to Work

    and Energy
    Work and energy are fundamental concepts in physics. They describe the
    transfer and transformation of energy within a system.

    by Vaibhavi Dalvi
    Defining Work
    In physics, work is done when a force causes an object to move a distance.
    The work done depends on the magnitude of the force and the distance the
    object moves.

    1 Force 2 Displacement
    A push or pull that can The change in an object's
    change an object's motion. position.

    3 Direction
    The force must be in the same direction as the displacement for
    work to be done.
    Calculating Work
    The work done is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the
    distance the object moves. The unit of work is the joule (J).

    Work (W) = Force (F) ×


    Displacement (d)
    Kinetic Energy
    Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The
    faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

    Speed

    1 Faster speed, more kinetic energy.

    Mass

    2 Heavier mass, more kinetic energy.


    Potential Energy
    Potential energy is stored energy that an object possesses due to its position or state. There are different types of potential energy,
    including gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.

    Gravitational Elastic

    Energy due to an object's height above the ground. Energy stored in a stretched or compressed object.
    Conservation of Energy
    The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or
    destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

    Potential Energy
    1
    Energy stored due to position or state.

    2 Kinetic Energy
    Energy of motion.

    Thermal Energy
    3
    Energy associated with temperature.
    Efficiency and Power
    Efficiency measures how effectively energy is converted from one form to
    another. Power measures the rate at which work is done.

    Efficiency Power
    Ratio of useful energy output Rate at which work is done,
    to total energy input. measured in watts (W).
    Conclusion
    Work and energy are fundamental concepts in physics that explain how energy is transferred and transformed. They have many
    applications in our daily lives, from riding a bicycle to generating electricity.
