Energy and Motion
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Energy and Motion is a subject that examines energy conversion in mechanical systems and their relationship with motion. This subject covers kinetic and potential energy, conservation of mechanical energy, the work-energy theorem, and its practical applications. The TYT focuses on fundamental energy types, while the AYT focuses on energy loss and efficiency analysis. The current 2025 curriculum also covers renewable energy and electric vehicles. Learning this topic forms the basis for energy system analysis.
