Energy

Name of the experiment: Determination of potential energy of a spring Theory: Let a weight of mass in be hanged at one end of a…

Elastic Potential Energy Within elastic limit, if a force is applied on a body it becomes strained and when the force is withdrawn the body…

Direction: Work is to be done against a body to take it from the standard position or shape to any other position or shape. This…

Direction: Potential energy can be negative. For example, potential energy at any point above earth’s surface is positive. Potential energy inside a mine is negative…

Gravitational Potential energy To raise a body above the ground against the gravitational force an external source or agent is needed to do work. This…

Potential Energy The energy that is acquired due to the position of a body or, energy acquired by the body due to the change of…

Translational kinetic energy Motion of a body can be translational and rotational or complex motion consisting of translational-rotational. So, kinetic energy of a body can…

Derivation of Equation for Kinetic Energy In case of translational motion: Amount of work done by a moving body before coming to rest is the…

Kinetic Energy: Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Any moving body has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the…

Elastic Force When a spring is expanded by pulling, it appears that the spring pulls our hands in opposite direction. This type of reaction force…
