Work Energy and Power

Perfectly Inelastic Collision

Collisions in which colliding objects stick together and move with common velocity

Inelastic Collision

Collisions where linear momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved

Elastic Collision

Collisions where both linear momentum and energy of the system is conserved

Collision

Interaction of objects in which the energy and the momentum of the object changes

Principle of conservation of energy

Energy can never be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another

Power

Rate of doing work with respect to time

Work Energy Theorem

Work done by a force on a body is equal to kinetic energy produced

Potential Energy

Energy possessed by object by the virtue of its position

Kinetic Energy

Energy possessed by object by the virtue of its motion

Energy

Capacity to do the work
