Work done is equal to:

Force * distance

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of a body can be defined as the amount of work it can do in coming to rest. E=1/2 mv²

Derivation of 1/2mv²

W=Fs



W=mas (F=ma)



as= v²/2



W=1/2mv²

Potential energy

The energy a body possesses due to it's position is called it's potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy

GPE is the amount of work that was done on the object to give it that energy. GPE=mgh

Conservation of energy

In a system where the only forces acting are associated with potential energy, the sum of kinetic and potential energies is constant.
