When can we use conservation of mechanical energy?

W

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.4.B - Describe the behavior of a system using conservation of mechanical energy principles. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE CON 1.A -Compare conservative and dissipative forces. Describe the role of a conservative force or a dissipative force in a dynamic system. In last section, we looked at the law of conservation of mechanical energy. Then we quickly dismissed it in...

Mathematics of mechanical energy conservation

M

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.4.B - Describe the behavior of a system using conservation of mechanical energy principles. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE CON 2.B -. Describe kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy in relation to time (or position) for a “conservative” mechanical system. In the last section, we introduced a very profound idea of the conservation of mechanical energy...

Mechanical energy and its conservation

M

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.4.B - Describe the behavior of a system using conservation of mechanical energy principles. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE CON 2.A -. Describe physical situations in which mechanical energy of an object in a system is converted to other forms of energy in the system. Describe physical situations in which the total mechanical energy of an object in a system changes or...

Hi, I am Gaurav. I am a passionate physics student and tutor. I help students study and prepare for exams such as AP Physics, NEET and IIT JEE. I appeared for IIT JEE exam way back in 1998 and during that time I fell in love with Physics. I managed to clear the exam and eventually worked in several countries in different roles but the love for Physics always continued and hence the journey of life long learning and teaching.
