In this online lesson you will learn how to compare measurements that have different units.

In this unit you will learn how to convert between common metric units of measure.

Outcomes

By the end of this course you will:

• Be familiar with the different metric units of length
• Be able to compute calculations involving metric units of length
• Be able to convert one metric unit of length to another

The potential energy between two objects due to long-distance forces can be thought of as being stored in a field. When the objects move due to the field forces, the energy stored in the field decreases

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Use a ruler and protractor accurately
• Understand the SI system of measurement
• Convert between different units

This lesson explores appropriate units for metric measurement.

An online activity which will test your understanding of metric measurements.

Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.

An exploration of how the area under a force vs. position graph equals the work done by the force and solves some sample problems.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn about:

• the concept of work
• understand that work is done by an applied force
• the concept of energy
• identify the different types of energy
• the concept of power
