Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

Potential energy is the energy stored of position by an object. It is a type of energy that can be converted to other forms and related to some attractive or pushing forces. Gravitational potential ...

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ...

We define and explain mathematically through multiple example problems. Segment 4E: Gravitational Potential and Kinetic Energy Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are defined and ...

The Work Energy Principle is one of the big ideas in introductory physics courses. It's so big that the textbook presentation can get a little confusing - but it doesn't have to be that way. I haven't ...

Unfortunately for previous cosmological theories, the universe appears reasonably convincingly to be expanding at an accelerating rate. This, all physicists know, is no small problem. It is so severe ...
