Description
This comprehensive course covers kinetic energy, work, potential energy and conservation of energy. The course combines lectures that summarize the important concepts and tutorials that will guide you and help you develop a problem solving strategy. You'll learn how to apply conservation of energy principles to study the dynamics of systems.
Topics include in this class are:
1) Kinetic Energy, Work
2) Applying Work-Energy Theorem
3) Work done by gravitational forces, springs
4) Power
5) Potential Energy and Conservation of Mechanical Energy
There are over 40 fully solved problems ranging in difficulty. I've mixed in many conceptual problems as well as algebraic problems to help you practice applying energy principles to solve problems.
If at any point you don't understand something in my videos please feel free to reach out. I'm always willing to help someone learn. Physics Ninja always has your back!
Happy Learning
