Conservative Forces and Potential Energy: Gravitational Case

Description

This lecture covers the concept of conservative forces and potential energy, focusing on gravitational forces. It explains the work done by external forces, the theorem of kinetic energy, and the relationship between work and energy. The lecture also discusses the work done by normal forces, the impact of forces on kinetic energy, and the efficiency of the kinetic energy theorem.
