Work and Mechanical Energy
Work and Mechanical Energy: The concepts introduced are: work, conservative forces, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and Newton’s law of universal gravitation. A wrecking ball is converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy and back and forth. If released with zero speed, the wrecking ball should NOT swing higher than its height when it was released. Professor Lewin puts his life on the line by demonstrating this.
