Success in the portion of our class covering the Work-Energy
perspective on particle dynamics is determined by your being able
to accomplish the tasks listed below.  The major objectives are
listed by number.  The list under each major objective includes
both subtopics of that objective (usually topics which are
required for a complete understanding of that major objective)
and also the multiple representations of the task in which you
are expected to be proficient.

1. Understand and apply the definition of work done on
    a particle by a given force, one that is uniform
    in space
   Scalar product of vectors
   Multiple forms of the definition
   FBD's or extended FBD's with accompanying displacement vectors

2. Understand and apply the definition of work done on
    a particle by a given force, one that is varying
    in space
   For a varying force that is always parallel, or
    antiparallel, to the path (e.g. friction on roundtrip in 2D)
   For one dimensional motion, graphs of force versus position
   For one dimensional motion, equations of force versus position
    (e.g. harmonic or anharmonic springs)

3. Understand and apply the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem
    for particle motion
   Definition of kinetic energy
   Source of the theorem
   Meaning of positive, negative, or zero net work
   For 1D motion, graphs of net force versus position
   For 1D motion, equations of net force versus position
   
4. Understand and apply the ideal spring approximation
    (one end fixed)
   FBD's and extended FBD's for object at free end,
    and/or for spring
   Graphs of spring force versus position
   Horizontal springs, vertical springs, and springs on slopes
   Work done by a spring
   Work required to stretch or compress a spring
   Applications with the WK Theorem

5. Classify forces acting on a particle as conservative
    or nonconservative.
   Definition of a conservative force
   Definition of a nonconservative force

6. Apply the definitions of average and instantaneous power
   Definition of efficiency
   Understand how the definition of instantaneous power
    becomes the scalar product of force and velocity
