Bottom Line• Energy is conserved. • Kinetic energy is a definite concept.• If we can determine the kinetic energy at all
points in space by knowing it at one point in space, we can invent a potential energy so that energy can be conserved.
• Kinetic energy is related to work.• Potential energy must also be related to
work.

Kinetic Energy
Does that make sense?Is it sometimes true?Is it always true?

Work-Energy Theorem
This is a useful relation – but we’ll go one step further:
• Positive work increases kinetic energy, negative work decreases kinetic energy

GravityDepending on initial velocity, an object can move freely under the influence of gravity in many different paths from 1 to 2.

Potential EnergyIf T is dependent only on the end points of a path (not on the path or on time), we can define a potential energy. Otherwise, we can not.

Potential EnergyIf the curl of is zero and has no explicit time dependence, we can define a potential energy. Otherwise, we can not.
In general, if , .Since the curl of must be zero.
