Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Potential energy The potential energy of an object is the energy stored in an object or system. Denoted as Ep. Generally speaking, potential energy refers to potential energy caused by gravity and…

‘Work’ in science
‘Work’ in science ‘Work’ in science and ‘work’ in everyday life are a little different. In science, ‘work’ is to apply a force to an object and move it in the direction…

In a potential energy measurement experiment, why should an object be lifted slowly at a constant velocity?
In a potential energy measurement experiment, why should an object be lifted slowly at a constant velocity? Lifting a stationary object causes a ‘some’ change in the object’s motion. You need force…

Pulleys with Many Wire
Movable Pulley Movable pulleys can move axes, unlike fixed pulleys. Movable pulleys have the advantage of being able to move with less force. But, the distance that I have to move is…
