Conservative forces
... The work done by the gravitational force on an object depends only on its change in height because the gravitational force is conservative. A direct consequence of the closed path test is that the work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between any two points does not depend on the pa ...

Conservation of Energy
... In physics: work is done when an object is pushed or pulled through a distance. The exertion of a force does not guarantee that you are doing work. You must actually be moving something with your force! Many things that we commonly think of as “work” do not qualify under the definition in physics. ...

Kinetic and Potential Energy
... Potential Energy Potential energy is that energy which an object has because of its position. It is called potential energy because it has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy. Definition: Potential energy is energy that is stored in a system because of i ...
