5400120240 | Work Energy Theorem | The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. | 0 | |
5400130280 | Potential Energy | The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. | ![]() | 1 |
6194617407 | Kinetic Energy | Energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. | 2 | |
6194624862 | Electron Charge | 1.60 × 10^19 coulombs | 3 | |

6223635644 | Frictional Force | Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other | 11 | |
6223655225 | Voltage | An electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. | 12 | |
6223693641 | Watts | The watt unit is named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. One watt is defined as the energy consumption rate of one joule per second. | 13 | |
6244014949 | Torque | Torque, moment, or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. | 14 | |
6244022152 | Inertia | A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force. | 15 | |
6244039399 | Momentum | linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object, quantified in kilogram-meters per second. | 16 | |

6683601550 | Period (T) | The length or portion of time | 27 | |
6683623128 | Current (I) | An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a gas (plasma). | 28 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
