A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism.

Work

Is the result when a force moves an object a certain distance.

Force

A push or pull acting on an object.

Subsystem

A self-contained system within a larger system.

Energy

The capacity to do work or the ability to cause change.

Kinetic Energy

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Potential Energy

The stored energy of an object based on its position or state.

Force of Gravity

The force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Friction

The resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another.

Velocity

The speed of an object in a specified direction.

Acceleration

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Mass vs. Weight

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Energy Transformation

The process of changing energy from one form to another.

Mechanical Energy

The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in
