10- work, energy and power Flashcards
what is the equation for work done when the displacement is not in the direction of the force
w= Fcos θ x s
what is the area under the graph in a force displacement graph
work done
what is kinetic energy
the energy an object has due to its motion
what is potential energy
the energy an object has due to its state, position or shape
what is the final formula for the velocity of a falling object derived from Ek and Ep
v = √2gh
what is the formula of a falling object experiencing a frictional force derived from Ek and Ep
1/2 mv^2 = mg △h - f △h
what is power
work done per unit time
what is the equation for power of a moving object
p = Fv
what is efficiency
a ratio of useful energy transferred to the total energy input
what is the efficiency equation
efficiency = useful energy transferred / total energy input
