Driving a force that pushes or propels an object, component or system
Elastic Energy It is associated with the stretching or compressing of an elastic object.
Electrical energy It is associated with an electric current in a circuit.
Energy the ability to do work
First Class Lever A lever with a pivot point (fulcrum) in the middle, between the input and output forces
Force A type of exertion on an object or system due to the interaction with another object, system or human
Fulcrum the pivot point of a lever
Gravitational Energy It is associated with the height of an object above a reference point.
