The Main Idea

Energy Diagrams are extremely useful for analyzing the interactions between two different objects. These diagrams can also be confusing if not properly understood. This page serves as a resource on how to construct and interpret energy diagrams. Let's get started!

A Mathematical Model

A Computational Model

How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript

Examples

Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

Simple

labeling K, U, and K+U for varying situations

Middling

matching energy graphs to different situations

Difficult

creating energy graphs for different situations

Connectedness
