... 18c. Work . ... The concept of Work is closely related to that of energy. ... Suppose we lift a weight A of mass m a distance h (for height) from the floor to the table (Figure 1). ... That, however, is just the potential energy added to the weight! ... Energy is always preserved but--as seen in an earlier section--not always in a usable form. ... Because the trains are linked, when one goes up, the other descends, and by giving up its potential energy, it helps pull the other one upwards. ...

Galileo showed convincingly that heavy objects fell no faster that light ones. ... If an iron ball was pulled down with a much greater force than a wooden one of the same size, why didn't it fall any faster? ... 1) It is harder to lift. ... It is the fact that the loaded wagon has a greater mass that gives it a larger inertia , a larger tendency to oppose any change in its state of rest or of constant motion in a straight line. ... One important quantity was the body mass of the astronauts. ...

... In spite of the fact that the orbit assumes a zero gravity (the scientists count on it by growing super-clean crystals and other materials impossible on the earth), in fact, none spacecraft provides such conditions. ...
