is the capacity to do work.
is a scalar quantity,
The amount of energy transferred
to an object is equal to the
work done in that object,
The units of energy are the same
with the units of work.

1. When the engine works and
causes the car to move?
2. When the car stops moving.
3. When a bullet is fired from a
gun.
4. When we throw a ball.
5. When a book is lifted and
placed on a shelf.
Energy cannot be created or
destroyed; it may be transformed
from one form into another, but
the total amount of energy never
changed.
The total amount of energy of the
system is always constant. Energy
just changes its form during
certain processes.
When a moving car hits a parked car
and causes the parked car to move,
energy is transferred from the moving
car to the parked car.
When you push the book across the
table, the energy from your arm is
transferred from your body to the
book, causing the book to move.
◦The work done on an object equal
the change in kinetic energy of the
object.
◦Work can also transfer to other forms
of energy to a system
