Energy, Work and Power

Chapter 19 of a report on the energy industry in Texas. It looks at hydroelectric power, its history, and how it is used. Hydropower in Texas is described, its economic impact, how it is produced and its availability. The costs and...

Have you ever wondered what type of AP Physics investigations The College Board wants? This is the guide for you! Sixteen labs covering both Physics I and II will get you started and inspire you to meet the requirement of 25 percent of...

More than 100 cities around the world have shifted from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Scholars investigate a city wanting to make this switch, but needs help determining how to make the shift. Groups consider all options,...

Reduce the work it takes to plan a physics lesson on energy with the help of this instructional presentation. Beginning with clear explanations of kinetic and potential energy, this resource continues on to familiarize young scientists...

Develop an understanding of the relationship between energy, work, and power. The video instructor explains the meaning of each and describes how they work together. He then provides an example that applies the formulas for both work and...

If renewable energy sources are the best option, why aren't they used on a global scale? Junior environmentalists explore the benefits and problems associated with energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass with a short video and...

Many mechanical phenomena are explained by a physics professor using Nick Goepper, a Winter Olympics 2014 slope-style skier, as the model. Beginning with kinetic and potential energy, the professor goes on to explain angular momentum and...

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe the distinction between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and to explain why the inevitable conversion of energy to less useful forms makes it necessary to conserve energy...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains multiple...

In this energy, work and power activity, students solve 12 problems about circuits, electric motors, Ohm's Law and electric currents.
