chapter 10- Work/Energy/Power Flashcards
kinetic energy ______ over increased displacement = the larger the displacement, the ______ the work done
increases, greater
The stronger the force, the _____ the work done
greater
work done by F is proportional to
F and distance
If the object undergoes no displacement while the force acts…
no work is done
A force perpendicular to the displacement…
does no work
equation for transformation of energy into thermal energy
ΔE=FΔx
Kinetic energy depends on an object’s ____, but potential energy depends on its _____.
speed, position
work energy theorem
W=FΔx=ΔK=Δu (Δu when there is no friction)
gravitational potential energy equation
Ug=mgh
spring potential energy equation
Us=.5kx^2
translational energy equation
Kt=1/2mv^2
Law of Conservation of energy
ΔE=0, Ei=Ef, Ug+Us+Kt+Kr+W=Ug+Us+Kt+Kr-W
Power equation
P=E/Δx=W/Δt=F(v) (for F(v), the velocity has to be constant (zero acceleration))
