Work, Energy, and Power Concepts

The video explores the physics concepts of work, energy, and power. It begins by defining work as the application of force over a distance and explains how to calculate it. The video then delves into kinetic and potential energy, illustrating how they relate to work. It discusses conservative and non-conservative systems, emphasizing energy conservation. Finally, the video defines power as work over time and provides methods for calculating it. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points covered.
