Energy and Work
Thermal Energy Work is the transfer of energy that occurs when a
the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential force is applied over a distance.
energy of the particles that make up an object.
Work depends on both force and distance.

You only do work on an object if that object moves.

Object
Direction Direction of movement
of Force as a result of forces

Electric Energy
energy carried by an electric current.

The guy does work on the box as he lifts it. The work
he does transfers energy to the box. The colored
bars show the work that the guy does (W) and the
box’s potential energy (PE).

Radiant Energy
energy carried by an electromagnetic wave. PE W PE W PE W
