Energy and Momentum Flashcards
Work is responsible for the
Changing energy of an object
Impulse is responsible for the
Changing momentum of an object
Work is the measure of
Transferred mechanical energy
What is the unit for Work?
Joules
What is the equation for Work?
W = Fdcos0
Work is 0 when the force is
Perpendicular to motion
Work is negative when the force is
Opposite of the motion
What is the unit of Power?
Watts
What is the equation of Power?
P = W / t
Kinetic energy and potential energy are forms of
Mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is conserved when
Total energy is constant
Mechanical energy is not conserved with
Friction
The sum of Energy (E) =
K + U
The work-energy theorem states that the work performed by all the forces acting in a certain time interval result in the
Change in Kinetic Energy
What is the equation for the work-energy theorem?
W = ∆K = Kf - Ki
Conserved forces have associated
Potential energies
