- Define the terms, Work, Power, Kinetic Energy, Gravitational Potential Energy, Joule, Watt, Work-Energy Theorem, Law of Conservation of Energy.
- Compute the work done by a specified force on an object when the object is moved through a given distance.
- Compute the power expended by a force.
- Compute changes in gravitational potential energy and changes in kinetic energy.
- Distinguish between a conservative and a non conservative force.
- State what happens to the energy lost when work is done against friction forces.
- Use the law of conservation of energy.
- Compute IMA and AMA and efficiency of a simple machine.
