Episode of Series “PSSC physics”.
Part of the “Physical science study committee series” presents experimental evidence that the work done on a body, measured as the area under the force-distance curve, is a measure of the transfer of kinetic energy to the body calculated from its mass and velocity. Dorothy Montgomery demonstrates the relationships using mechanical devices.
