a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements, which forms the foundation of a comprehensive assessment for all residents of SNFs certified to participate in Medicare and Medicaid.
Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy - whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy - is able to do work. That is, its mechanical energy enables that object to apply a force to another object in order to cause it to be displaced.
kinetic energy. when an object is moving; energy of motion possessed by moving objects (mechanical); moving object becomes capable of doing work; energy of motion; work done on an object is equal to the change in energy gain by the object. (EX: faster moving hammer has more of this when it hits a nail than a slower one)
