Energy Energy is defined as the ability of an object to do work on its surroundings. It may be in the form of kinetic energy or of potential energy . Exponentiation Raising a number to a power. An object that is unconstrained so that it may respond to forces in accordance with Newton's laws of motion . The number of cycles per unit time that a periodic system completes.
Force is a vector quantity.
The bell shaped curve that is used to describe the distribution of quantities around some normal value, named in honor of Mr. Gauss we believe. A force applied for a time which is short compared to the observation time, as for example the force between a bat and ball where the observation is over the entire flight of the ball from leaving the pitcher's hand to landing in the bleachers. The energy an object has as a result of its motion. The study of objects in motion without explicit consideration for the forces which produced the motion. Similar to the absolute value of a number but applies to vectors as well.
