Energy And Work Flashcards
The unit of measurement of power for engines and motors.
Horsepower
A unit used to measure energy and work.
Joule
The energy of motion.
Kinetic Energy
A combination of the kinetic energy and potential energy an object has.
Mechanical Energy
Stored energy; the energy an object has due to its position, molecular arrangement, or chemical composition.
Potential Energy
The rate at which work is done.
Power
The unit of measurement for power, which is equal to one joule of work done or energy transferred in one second.
Watt
The use of force of gravity on an object.
Work
The law in which states no matter how energy is transferred or transformed, all of the energy is still present somewhere in one form or another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
