The intricate relationship between work and mechanical energy is depicted in the animation for students to be able to visualize.

Suppose that a car traveled up three different sloped roadways from the base of a mountain to the summit of the mountain. Which path would require the most energy? See this animation and explanation for help.

Using a roller coaster as an example, the transformation of mechanical energy from the form of potential to the form of kinetic and vice versa is explained and illustrated in the animation.

The motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. See the mechanics at work here in this animation.

In this module, students learn how work, energy, and power are related to one another in various ways. They also learn about collisions and the conservation of momentum.

Most driver's education classes teach future drivers that the stopping distance of a skidding car is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the car. See how this situation plays out in this animation.
