Momentum

by Joe Wolfe
Momentum
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1506 views

Energy and power
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1451 views
Rating:

The total work done on an object equals the increase in its kinetic energy. For conservative forces, we can define potential energy.
