2 The most important concept in science! The most important concept in science!

3 What’s so Great About Energy? It’s a scalar; forget those vector headaches It’s a scalar; forget those vector headaches It’s useful in all of physics and in other sciences It’s useful in all of physics and in other sciences It’s conserved, meaning the total amount of it doesn’t change It’s conserved, meaning the total amount of it doesn’t change

4 What is energy? Difficult to define precisely. Difficult to define precisely. Exists in many different forms Exists in many different forms

5 Work The product of the magnitude of displacement times the component of force parallel to displacement The product of the magnitude of displacement times the component of force parallel to displacement W = Fd W = Fd F d
