Learning Targets

Students should understand the concepts of mechanical energy and of total energy, so they can:

(31) Describe and identify situations in which mechanical energy is converted to other forms of energy.

(32) Analyze situations in which an object’s mechanical energy is changed by friction or by a specified externally applied force.

Students should understand conservation of energy, so they can:

(33) Identify situations in which mechanical energy is or is not conserved.

(34) Apply conservation of energy in analyzing the motion of systems of connected objects, such as an Atwood’s machine.

(35) Apply conservation of energy in analyzing the motion of objects that move under the influence of springs.
