Conservation of Energy (Chapter 1) Flashcards
what is the equation for work done
work done = force x distance moved
what is forced measure in?
newtons
what is distance measure in?
meters
what is work done measure in?
joules
weight =
mass x gravitational field strength
change in objects gravitational potential energy store =
weight x height
energy transferred =
work done
velocity=
square root 2ke/m
mass =
2ke divided by velocity squared
kinetic energy =
1/2 x mass x velocity squared
velocity is measured in
m/s
gravitational potential energy=
mass x gravitational field strength x height
what is useful energy mean?
the energy transferred to how we want it
what is wasted energy mean?
the energy is not usefully transferred
efficiency =
useful output energy
