Your aunt is sipping on iced tea and fanning herself during a hot South Carolina summer day. You tell her that there is enough energy in one drop of her iced tea to run the air conditioner for the rest of her life if the energy could be extracted with 100% efficiency. Your aunt asks you to explain. Use the concepts you learned in this unit to explain the relationship between forces, energy, and matter.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Although each term has its unique properties, they are all interdependent. Hence, none of these three physical quantities can exist without the existence of the other two. Understanding their definitions solely can give you a brief idea of their interdependency. 

To move an object, energy is transferred to it. Transferring energy can be in the form of force, and this amount of energy transferred by the force to move an object is nothing but the work done. Hence, the three quantities are related. 

Work = Force × distance

Work = change in kinetic energy.

If the applied force on an object or body is opposite to its motion, then the work done is negative.

understanding their definitions can be enough to understand the relationship between these three terms. The formulas of these physical quantities can also be used to understand the relationship.
