Conservation of Energy [IB Physics SL/HL]

This video examines the conservation of mechanical energy as covered in Theme A of the IB Physics SL & HL courses. The law of conservation of energy is explained, followed by discussions of mechanical energy and conservative forces. Conservation of mechanical energy is applied in detail to a real-life situation. Worked examples then demonstrate how the principle can be applied to different situations, including a scenario where energy is lost to the surroundings due to friction. 0:00 Introduction 0:17 Law of conservation of energy 1:55 Mechanical energy 2:33 Conservative forces 3:22 Conservation of mechanical energy 4:55 Example 1: Ball thrown upwards 6:20 Example 2: Ball pushing against a spring 7:10 Example 3: Determining the force of friction 8:31 Summary More IB Physics Videos & Exam Questions can be found at: Revision Village - IB Physics https://www.revisionvillage.com
