1) Work is defined as the product of the force acting on an object and the displacement of the object in the direction of the force. Positive work is when the force and displacement are in the same direction, negative work is when they are in opposite directions. 2) Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Common examples include the kinetic energy of moving air, water, and vehicles. Kinetic energy can be calculated as one-half the mass times the velocity squared. 3) For a body with mass m moving at velocity v, its linear momentum p is equal to mv. Its kinetic energy KE is equal to one-half mv squared. The relationship between linear momentum p and kinetic energy
