Work... Energy... Power... We have used Newton's laws to analyze the motion of objects. Force and mass information were used to determine the acceleration of an object. Acceleration information was subsequently used to determine information about the velocity or displacement of an object after a given period of time. In this manner, Newton's laws serve as a useful model for analyzing motion and making predictions about the final state of an object's motion. In this unit, an entirely different model will be used to analyze the motion of objects. Motion will be approached from the perspective of work and energy. The affect that work has upon the energy of an object (or system of objects) will be investigated as will be the rate at which work is done -- power! p.125 #2 p.126 #3 p.133 #1,3-6 || [|SOLUTIONS_ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS_GRAV POT ENERGY.pdf] || p.135 #7,11,12 p.136 #2,3,6,9(a-c) ||  ||
