August 27

So, on Friday, you read about the concept of work, W=F*d, where work is in JOULES (jewels), F is in Newtons, and d is in meters.

In other words, Work is another way to refer to kinetic energy when a spring is stretching.


W = F* d
KE = 1/2 mv^2

F = kx

It's the combination of these three formulas that gives us the formulas for spring constant energy.

Today, we're looking at the interaction between the different types of energies.  To do this, you'll be working on two worksheets.  Before you do that, we'll look at some ways to represent energy
