Work and Energy

In this chapter we introduce through Newton's 2nd Law the concepts of work and energy. This will lead us to a fundamental principle of physics - the conservation of energy - and to the idea that energy can be transferred from one form to another. We also through Newton's 3rd law introduce another fundamental principle - the conservation of momentum.
