Potential Energy, Conservation of Mechanical Energy, Power

We end our study of work and energy by showing the the Work-Energy Theorem leads to a statement of convservation of mechanical energy. We discuss gravitational potential energy as one form of stored energy.  We end with the definiton of power.

The main topics are:

• Gravitational Potential Energy
• Conservation of Mechanical Energy
• Energy Loss Due to Nonconservative Forces
• Power
