What is work? (II)

Work is one of the ways of transmitting energy between bodies. The following visual will help you understand the concept of work by modifying the force and the angle which it forms with the horizontal ...

Work carried out by a pendulum

The following visual studies the work done by a pendulum: it is difficult to calculate as the force which acts on it varies constantly. If you select Table and start the animation you will be able to ...

Kinetic energy

The educational resource shows information about the kinetic energy: the kinetic energy of an object is its capacity to change its environment, because it is moving. How far will two balls with differ ...

Potential energy

The educational resource shows a visual about the potential energy: two balls are on the point of falling: they possess gravitational potential energy. When they reach the snow they will modify their ...

What is energy?

A picture shows some transformations of energy. The energy from the sun passes to plants, to oil, to coal, to animals and to human beings; they take advantage of it by using the energy from oil, anima ...

Electrical energy

Electrical energy is caused by the movement of the electric charges inside conductors. This energy fundamentally produces 3 types of effects: luminous, thermal and magnetic.The following visual tries ...

Mechanical energy

Mechanical energy is what is produced by mechanical type forces, like elastic and gravitational forces.The following three pictures show situations involving mechanical energy.

Chemical energy

The educational resource shows information about the concept of chemical energy: chemical energy is what is produced in chemical reactions. An energy cell or a battery possess this type of energy. The ...

Work-kinetic energy theorem

The theorem of live forces establishes that the work carried out by the forces acting on a system, is equal to its kinetic energy. The force which acts on the train in the visual is invested into incr ...

Power (II)

Power measures the speed with which work is done. It is measured in watts, W, in the International System of Units. The following visual will help you to understand this concept more clearly as you se ...
