Work
W = Fd
Work = Force (F) X distance (d)
Kinetic Energy
KE = 1/2 * m * v²
Kinetic energy (KE) = .5 x mass x velocity squared
PE = mgh
Potential energy (PE) = mass (m) x gravity (g) x height (h)
Work-Energy Theorem
Basic definition of joule (work or energy)
Slightly more complex definition of joule
Work (joule) = Force times Distance
Are calories and joules the same thing?
History of Joule - The man who gave his name to the unit of energy (the joule). Learn about his life and the experiments that explain his innovative theories.
