AFOQT Exam Prep 49, Energy and Work — Kinetic, Potential, Conservation
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- Kinetic energy (KE = ½mv²) is the energy of motion and increases by the square of an object's velocity.
- Gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh) is stored energy directly proportional to an object's mass and height.
- The principle of conservation of energy states that total energy (KE + PE) is constant in a frictionless system, with energy converting between kinetic and potential forms.
- Work (W = F·d) is only performed when a force causes displacement in the direction of that force.
- Power (P = W/t) is the rate at which work is done, meaning doing the same work faster requires more power.
