I'm a newbie to phyics, all i know is force, work, PE, KE, power,and such, where should i go from here, and are there any good thorough tutorials and such that build off of this that r simple and not complicated?
Force is a physical quantity that describes an interaction between two objects. It is measured in Newtons (N) and can be described as a push or pull on an object.
Work is a measure of the energy transfer that occurs when a force is applied over a distance. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance over which it is applied. The unit for work is Joules (J).
Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or state. In the context of physics, it is often referred to as the energy stored in an object. The unit for potential energy is Joules (J).
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its velocity squared and is measured in Joules (J).
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is measured in Watts (W) and is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it takes to do it.
