What is Energy
... Two basic kinds of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Whether energy is kinetic or potential depends on whether an object is moving or not. A moving object, such as the wind, can do work when it strikes another object and moves it some distance. Because the moving object does work, it h ...

Chapter 3: Relativistic dynamics
... Let’s summarize what we’ve learned a bit more geometrically. The worldline x(τ ) describes some trajectory through spacetime. At every event along this worldline, the four-velocity u = dx/dτ is a 4-vector which is tangent to the worldline. When one uses proper time to parametrize the worldline, the ...

Chapter 10: Work and Energy
... Work is usually done when a force is applied to a simple machine. All machines can be described in terms of input work and output work. In any machine, some of the input work goes to overcoming friction. The output work is always less than the input work because of the energy lost to frictio ...

Objects that stay stationary at depth are said to be neutrally buoyant. Weight is a downward force (gravity acting on mass); buoyancy is an upward force. ...
