Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

Potential energy is the energy stored of position by an object. It is a type of energy that can be converted to other forms and related to some attractive or pushing forces. Gravitational potential ...

The Work Energy Principle is one of the big ideas in introductory physics courses. It's so big that the textbook presentation can get a little confusing - but it doesn't have to be that way. I haven't ...

JONNY NELSON: Energy. There are lots of different types and lots of different ways of storing it. Chemical energy in a sparkler, elastic potential energy that fires a toy into the air, and many, many ...

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ...

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position above the surface of the Earth. When an object is lifted, work is done. When work is done in raising the height of ...
