Mission WE10 Work-Energy Analysis
Mission WE10 focuses on the mathematical relationships between the work done by non-conservative forces and the kinetic and potential energies of an object. Energy formulas will have to be used to calculate such quantities as work, kinetic energy, potential energy, speed, and height. The mission consists of 16 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcome for this mission is ...
Learning Outcomes
- The student should be able to conduct an energy analysis to determine the kinetic and/or the potential energy of an object at a given location.
Getting Help
If you are not familiar with this topic, then you should first learn about the topic using our written Tutorial or our Video Tutorial:
- How is mass, speed and height information related to the potential energy of an object?
- How is mass, speed and height information related to the kinetic energy of an object?
- How is the work done upon an object calculated?
- How can amount of work and energy be related in situations in which external (non-conservative) forces are doing work?
