Review the units of work, energy, force, and distance. Use the equations for mechanical energy and work to show what is work and what is not. Make it clear why holding something off the ground or carrying something over a level surface is not work in the scientific sense.

Learn the basics of work, energy and power in physics with clear definitions, formulas, units and examples. Find out how they are related and how to solve problems involving them.
Work, energy, and power are fundamental concepts in physics that describe how objects interact and change. These principles explain how forces cause motion, how energy is transferred and transformed, and how quickly work is done in various systems.
So firstly, power is the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done. Secondly, the first equation to calculate power is: power equals energy transferred,...
Work-Energy Principle. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object. This fact is referred to as the Work-Energy Principle and is often a very useful tool in mechanics problem solving.
Power is the rate at which work is done on a system or the rate of energy transfer between systems. Rate refers to the amount of change in some measure of time. 1 Watt = 1 Joule/Second. The concept of power originated from the studies of James Watt (1736-1819) as a way to compare the work done between steam engines and horses.
