08 Work And Power, GPE And KE Flashcards
1
Q
Work done (J) =
A
Force x distance
2
Q
Power
A
Amount of energy transferred every second
- power is rate of work done
3
Q
How does conservation of energy produce link between GPE, KE and Work
A
Because energy is conserved:
decrease in GPE = increase in KE
- for a falling object if no energy is lost to the surroundings
