Work and Energy

1.Conservation of Energy in a roller coaster

2.The Wright Flyer

3.Energy Transformation for a Pendulum

Energy Transformation for a Pendulum:
There are no external forces doing work on the pendulum so the total energy is of the pendulum bob is conserved. As the pendulum moves, the amount of kinetic and potential energy change but the sum stays constant.
