The whole term is kind of a funny one -- it's bound up in 20th-century
science wanting to make all differential equations linear and time
invariant (because then you can solve them on paper, before you die of
old age).
As for your questions: find three or four college physics professors.
Get a couple of pints of beer down each one, then pose your question.
Stand back.

Thanks.
Would working a yo-yo be an example of PO? As the yo-yo descends and
unwinds, you pull up on the string to speed it up, adding energy.

I actually had to discard about 1/3 of a video's worth of footage on this
one and re-do it. I had the lapel mic contacting my chin, and even with
a smooth shave every time I moved my head the damned thing scratched.
Fortunately I did a spot check that 1/3 of the way in, or I would have
had to re-record everything.

Yeah, the few I've done on my own had crap for sound, which did,
indeed, make them horrid.

Agreed yours look quite good.

I read somewhere, on the blog of some YouTube biggie, that if you're
doing a "talking head" video then the quality of the sound is far more
important than getting the video perfect. I also noticed that quite a
few of the "talking head" video channels that I watch will have even more
sudden visual jumps than I use, and I just don't notice them unless I
concentrate.
Everything is recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S5 cell phone, and edited
using kdenlive open-source video software. I'm pretty amazing that I can
do so well on stuff that I could get for free, or had lying around.

Well, i thought that the editing done was implemented very nicely.
The resulting "jumps" or "gas" were rather smooth and only a very
professional system could improve it, along with multiple time-consuming
re-enactments for more accurate body placement and hand-motion merging.
In a word, this ain't Hollywood and we are not seasoned or
professional actors.
WELL DONE!

Thanks! I thought it was shitty.
That's not a comment on your opinion -- I often finish a talk or a book
or whatever thinking "gawd, why am I not covered in rotten vegetables?",
only to be accosted by people wanting to _thank_ me for my work.
OTOH, I can finish something up, think "hey, this is pretty good!",
inflict it on an unsuspecting world, and find out that no, in fact, it
was a steaming pile of crap (very powerful! Makes things grow!).
I've decided that I'm not a very good critic of my own work.
