a net force causes an object to accelerate,a net force causes an object to accelerate,and acceleration means a change in velocity,and acceleration means a change in velocity,
and if velocity changes, KE changes.and if velocity changes, KE changes.
Due to friction, energy is transferred both into the floor and into the tire when the bicycle skids to a stop.
a. An infrared camera reveals the heated tire track on the floor. b. The warmth of the tire is also revealed.
9.6 Work-Energy Theorem
When a car brakes, the work is the friction force supplied by the brakes multiplied by the distance over which the friction force acts.A car moving at twice the speed of another has four times as much kinetic energy, and will require four times as much work to stop. The frictional force is nearly the same for both cars, so the faster one takes four times as much distance to stop. Kinetic energy depends on speed squared.
9.6 Work-Energy Theorem
Typical stopping distances for cars equipped with antilock brakes traveling at various speeds. The work done to stop the car is friction force × distance of slide.
9.6 Work-Energy Theorem
Kinetic energy often appears hidden in different forms of energy, such as heat, sound, light, and electricity.
• Random molecular motion is sensed as heat. • Sound consists of molecules vibrating in rhythmic patterns. • Light energy originates in the motion of electrons within
atoms. Electrons in motion make electric currents.

9.7 Conservation of Energy
The study of the forms of energy and the transformations from one form into another is the law of conservation of energy.For any system in its entirety—as simple as a swinging pendulum or as complex as an exploding galaxy—there is one quantity that does not change: energy. Energy may change form, but the total energy stays the same.
9.7 Conservation of Energy
Part of the PE of the wound spring changes into KE. The remaining PE goes into heating the machinery and the surroundings due to friction. No energy is lost.
9.7 Conservation of Energy
When the woman leaps from the burning building, the sum of her PE and KE remains constant at each successive position all the way down to the ground.
