Physics

• Energy


  The ability to do work
• Work


  The transfer of energy
• Whenever work is done, energy is transferred
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or change form
• Work done


  Force x distance
• Work done


  • 1000 N force, 500 m distance = 500,000 J
• The total amount of work done is equal to the total amount of energy transferred
• The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or change form
