Essential Questions How can understanding various physical properties about motion be useful in understanding everyday occurrences? What variables can you manipulate to affect the movement of objects? Learning Outcomes Recognize the difference between the scientific and ordinary definitions of work. Define work by relating it to force and displacement. Identify where work is being performed in a variety of situations. Calculate the net work done when many forces are applied to an object. Relate the variables of work, power, kinetic energy, and potential energy to mechanical situations and solve for these variables. Phenomenon Science and Engineering Practice 1.
