Work and Energy
In this unit, we will discuss energy. Energy is the ability to do work. The conservation of energy helps explain how roller coasters work. At the end of this unit, you will be able to explain Newton's Cradle, the desktop toy.
We will also cover work, power, efficiency, and Einstein's famous equation.
We cover elastic collisions in this unit. This sets parameters on the velocity of objects after a collision. Download the derivation here.
