To understand energy and conservation of energy, we must first define some terms: work, kinetic energy (KE), and potential energy (PE). We’ll get to PE in the next Chapter. Let’s look at work and KE. Definition of work done by a force: consider an object moving while a constant force F is applied to the object.
Energy resources are key limiting factors to economic growth. The world use of energy resources, especially oil, continues to grow, with ominous consequences economically, socially, politically, and environmentally. We will briefly examine the world’s energy use patterns at the end of this chapter.

The Work–Energy Theorem begins to answer that question by stating that a system gains or loses kinetic energy by transferring it through work between the environment (forces being POWER
PF1.5: WORK, ENERGY AND POWER. Energy exists in many different forms, eg, kinetic energy Ek, potential energy Ug, electrical energy, and elastic (or spring) energy Es. A fundamental principle of nature is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
2 Work, energy and power. The work done on an object by a constant force F is F ∆x cos Θ , where F is the magnitude of the force, ∆x the magnitude of the displacement and Θ the angle between the force and the displacement. W = F∆x cos θ. W scalar (no direction): A negative W is energy removed from object.
