This is a summary of the information in Chapter 7: Work, Energy, and Energy Resources for the AP Physics I course online.

In the following interactive students will begin to explain the human body's consumption of energy when at rest vs. when engaged in activities that do useful work. They will also calculate the conversion of chemical energy in food into...

At this site from The Nobel Foundation, read about the life and scientific discoveries of physicist Enrico Fermi (1901-1954), whose work with radiation and "discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons" earned him the...

In this interactive module, students learn the basic terminology and concepts of power as it has to do with work and energy.

Through interactive practice problems and examples, students calculate the amount of work done by forces.

Describes the definition and relationships between force, work and power. Includes nice drawings to increase conceptual understanding.

Through examples and interactive practice problems, motion will be approached from the perspective of work and energy.

Learn what power means and how we use it to describe the rate of energy transfer.

An exhaustive set of "lecture notes" on various topics in thermal physics (including thermal expansion). Explanations are well done and more interesting than most. Includes both a mathematical and conceptual treatment of topics. Humor,...

Kids learn about power in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement in watts. Calculate power using work divided by time.

Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to middle schoolers the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over...

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain the human body's consumption of energy when at rest versus when engaged in activities that do useful work and to calculate the conversion of chemical energy in food into useful work.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Power and how it relates to work and time, how to calculate power and the unit called horsepower.

In this tutorial the concept of how electrical energy is transformed is introduced. Learn how electric charges actually work and take the interactive quiz to assess your understanding.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Machines and friction, the efficiency of a machine and how to calculate it.

Kids learn about glossary and terms in the science of physics and motion. Definitions for words such as momentum, force, work, energy, gravity, scalar, vector, power, and more.

In this interactive exercise, explore the quantitative relationship between work and mechanical energy in situations in which there are no external forces doing work.

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students apply the relationship between work and mechanical energy change to a variety of motion scenarios in order to test our understanding.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text explaining what to do when the power goes out. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

If the discipline, precision, and power of martial arts is your bag, try this project out for size. You won't be sparring with any opponent other than a swinging kick bag, but you'll learn a few powerful lessons about the physics of...

A site dedicated to help students prepare for the AP Physics B test. This specific site reviews work and energy including work-energy theorem, conservation of energy, potential energy and power. Site contains links to video lectures and...

Through illustrated examples and interactive examples, students learn about the two categories of forces are referred to as internal forces and external forces.

We all know physical exercise is important to keeping our bodies fit. But how important is physical exercise to your brain? In other words, is there any connection between an active body and increased brain power? This is an easy project...
