Other Concepts
- Mechanical Energy (ME): The sum of potential (PE) and kinetic (KE).
- Gravitational Potential Energy (PEg): Energy stored due to an object's position in a gravitational field.
- Elastic Potential Energy (PEe): Stored energy in a deformed elastic object (e.g., spring).
- Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy of motion.
- Inertia: Resistance to change in motion; related to mass.
- Equilibrium: State where net force is zero (object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity).
- Force Diagrams: Diagrams showing all forces acting on an object.
- Free-Body Diagrams (FBDs): Diagrams that represent all forces acting on an object.
Additional Considerations
- Always indicate the direction of forces using arrows in FBDs.
- Pay close attention to the units of measurement used in calculations.
- Formulas may be used in different ways based on the situation.
