Translational kinetic energy and work
Describe an object's kinetic energy in terms of its mass and speed. Learn how kinetic energy is transferred to or from an object through the process of work, and how the work done depends on the object's displacement, the net force applied, and the angle between these vectors. Explore how the area under a force vs. displacement graph equals the work done by that force.
