Energy of a Tossed Ball
... When a juggler tosses a bean ball straight upward, the ball slows down until it reaches the top of its path and then speeds up on its way back down. In terms of energy, when the ball is released it has kinetic energy, KE. As it rises during its free-fall phase it slows down, loses kinetic energy, an ...

Review D: Potential Energy and the Conservation of Mechanical
... Whenever the work done by a force in moving an object from an initial point to a final point is independent of the path, then the force is called a conservative force. D.2 Potential Energy D.2.1 Change in Potential Energy Let’s consider an example in which only conservative forces are acting on a sy ...
