If the object is following a curve, or turning a corner, or slowing down, or speeding up, then it's motion is accelerated.
Force and distance is the main criteria for the movement of the object. The work of the object can be defined as the ‘product’ of the force and distance.
newton 1st law: w no external force, a body will stay at rest or in constant uniform motion.
a motor raises the car up the tower. cuz it moves w/ constant vel, there is no external force: the motor force is the same n in opposity direction as the gravity force on car.
This is an example of kinetic to potential because the water is moving, pushing a turbine (Kinetic) and the turbine converts the energy to potential energy.
B. surface wave because it is a mechanical energy
