Revision Notes — Work, Energy, Power and Collision

Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Work, Energy, Power and Collision for NEET-UG Physics preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

Work and Its Nature

  • Work is done when force applied on a body displaces it in the direction of force
  • Work is a scalar quantity with dimension [ML²T⁻²] and SI unit Joule
  • Work can be positive, negative, or zero depending on angle between force and displacement
2

Energy: Kinetic and Potential

  • Energy is the capacity to do work, measured in same units as work
  • Kinetic energy depends on motion: KE = ½mv²
  • Potential energy depends on position in conservative force field
3

Conservation of Mechanical Energy

  • In conservative field: Total mechanical energy E = KE + PE = constant
  • Energy conservation: K₁ + U₁ = K₂ + U₂
  • When non-conservative forces present: ΔE = W_non-conservative
4

Power and Its Applications

  • Power is rate of doing work: P = dW/dt
  • Instantaneous power: P = F⃗·v⃗ = Fv cosθ
  • Average power: P_avg = W/t
