you're pushing a box across the floor if
0:02
the Box actually moves because of your
0:04
push you've done work work happens when
0:07
a force like your push causes something
0:09
to move in the same direction as the
0:11
force if you push the box and it doesn't
0:14
move no work is done even if you're
0:16
sweating energy energy is what gives you
0:19
the ability to do work it's like having
0:22
fuel in your body or a battery in a toy
0:25
there are different types of energy
0:28
kinetic energy this is energy of motion
0:31
for example a rolling ball or a moving
0:33
car has kinetic energy potential energy
0:36
this is stored energy for example when
0:39
you lift a book up high it is potential
0:41
energy because gravity can pull it back
0:43
down energy is what makes things happen
0:46
like running lifting or even turning on
0:48
a light power power is about how fast
0:52
you can do work imagine two people
0:55
climbing stairs one runs up quickly
0:58
while the other walks slowly
1:00
both do the same work climbing the
1:02
stairs but the runner uses more power
1:04
because they finish faster in short work
1:07
is moving something with Force energy is
1:10
what makes work possible power is how
1:13
quickly the work is done
