A | B |
The unit for work | Joule |
The unit for energy | Joule |
The unit for power | Watt |
1 Newton*meter is equal to | 1 Joule |
The energy of motion | kinetic energy |
The energy of position | potential energy |
KE + PE = | mechanical energy |
In order to increase power one can | increase work and/or decrease time |
Power | the rate at which work is done |
Work | a force applied through a distance |
The Law of Conservation of Energy | energy that can neither be destroyed or created |
A force of 20 Newtons on an object moved 10 meters can be calculated | Work = 200 Newton*meters or 200 Joules |
Energy | the ability to cause change |
the type of energy involved in making a flag reach the top of a flagpole | mechanical |
the type of energy involved in cooking a hamburger | thermal |
the type of energy involved in the process of splitting an atom | nuclear |
the type of energy involved in breaking up food during digestion | chemical |
the type of energy involved in ringing the bell between classes | electrical |
one half (mass)(velocity squared) | kenitic energy |
mass x acceleration due to gravity x height | potential energy |
conservation of mechanical inergy | ME in = ME out |
Work divided by Power = | time |
acceleration due to gravity | -9.81 m/s2 |
