This web page contains problems that supplement Chapter 6 on the Energy Principle in the third edition of the introductory textbook Matter and Interactions, by Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood. Problems are designed to provide practice for solving energy problems in a variety of systems, including an elementary particle, spring systems, kinetic energy resulting from decay of a neutron, and more. Each problem can be viewed separately, with solutions, or downloaded as a pdf file.
The site includes videos showing solutions to many of the problems. These can be followed with RSS or as podcasts from iTunes. Instructors are encouraged to submit their own problems and solutions to the web site. Problems should be submitted in LaTex.
