Work, Energy, and Power Concepts

The video explores the concept of work in physics, distinct from everyday use, and its connection to energy conservation. It explains how work is calculated as force applied over a distance and introduces kinetic and potential energy. The video also discusses conservative and non-conservative systems, and defines power as work over time, measured in watts. Key equations and examples illustrate these concepts, providing a foundation for understanding energy and power in physics.
