Unit 6


Starting our new unit we are talking about energy, work, and power. Work is defined as any change in energy. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that in an isolated system energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it just changes forms.” Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done… son… We also talked about energy of position, which is gravitational potential energy. Lastly we talked about kinetic energy, which is energy of motion. One example of kinetic energy is a person running. Today was the Honolulu marathon. Each of the runners had kinetic energy because kinetic energy is energy that is possessed by any object in motion.

PC to my cousin… I stole her picture because she worked the marathon today J
