1.3 Energy And Work Flashcards
1
Q
What is the equation for work done?
A
Work done (joules, J) = force applied (newtons, N) * distance moved along the line of action of the force (metres, m).
2
Q
What is working out?
A
Work done is distance moved along the line of action of the force so up and down.
3
Q
How is work done on an object?
A
Work is done on the object by the force. The force transfers energy to object. Amount of energy transferred to object is equal to work done.
