AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around matching various energy concepts such as work, kinetic energy, and potential energy with their definitions. Key points include that potential energy is energy stored in an object, while kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion. The work-energy theorem describes the relationship between work done on an object and its kinetic energy. Conservative forces add energy to an object, whereas non-conservative forces remove energy. Participants emphasize the importance of accurate definitions and suggest using reliable sources for clarification.

Match the following

Work
positive work
negative work
work-energy theorem
work-kinetic energy theorem
mechanical energy
kinetic energy
potential energy
gravitational potential energy
joule
conservative force
non-conservative force.

-energy that is stored in by an object.
-achieved by doing work against the force of gravity.
-the transfer of mechanical energy.
-the energy of motion.
-combination of kinetic and potential energy.
-the special relationship between doing work on an object and
the resulting kinetic energy of the object.
-removes energy from an object.
-adds energy to an object.
-when a force does work on an object and the amount of work
done is independent of the path taken.
-when a force does work on an object and the amount of work
done is path-dependent.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
mechanical energy-combination of kinetic and potential energy.

positive work-when a force does work on an object and the amount of work
done is independent of the path taken.

kinetic energy-the energy of motion.

negative work-when a force does work on an object and the amount of work
done is path-dependent.


potential energy-achieved by doing work against the force of gravity.
 
gravitational potential energy-achieved by doing work against the force of gravity.

conservative force-adds energy to an object.

non-conservative force.-removes energy from an object.

work-kinetic energy theorem-the special relationship between doing work on an object
and the resulting kinetic energy of the object
 
-energy that is stored in by an object( But i don't know what this is T.T)... Can anyone help please/
 
You wrote: "potential energy-achieved by doing work against the force of gravity," and "gravitational potential energy-achieved by doing work against the force of gravity." your second answer is correct.

When energy is stored, is it doing something...or does it have the potential to do something?
 
potential energy-
energy that is stored in by an object

right?!

So is everything right ?...
 
Your answers for conservative force, non-conservative force, positive work, and negative work are incorrect. If you don't have a text with these definitions, I would suggest using wikipedia or some other internet source to find their definitions. People are more likely to remember information if they research it.
