The potential energy between two objects due to long-distance forces can be thought of as being stored in a field. When the objects move due to the field forces, the energy stored in the field decreases

This YouTube video investigates the structure and composition of the sun.

These four short online lessons cover the following:

• What is the sun?
• Interior of the sun
• Outer layers of the sun
• Surface features of the sun

This online resource investigates the internal structure, outer layers and surface features of the sun.

Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.

An exploration of how the area under a force vs. position graph equals the work done by the force and solves some sample problems.

What exactly is energy? How can changes in force, energy, and simple machines move objects like roller coaster cars? How can machines help us do work? In this chapter, you will discover the answer to this question and many more, as you learn about work, energy, and simple machines.

An exploration through some example problems on the concept of work.
