energy and workdone Flashcards
what is work done
work is done whenever a force produces a movement
what is the other name for work done
energy transfer
what is the formula for work done
w=f x d (workdone= force x distance)
what is the si unit of workdone/energy (idk ;-;)
Joules (J) 1KG=1,000J 1MJ=1,000,000J
what is energy
it is the ability to do work
what is the si unit for energy
Joules (J)
what is kinetic energy
it is the energy due to motion, all moving objects have kinetic energy
what is potential energy
it is the energy of an object because of its position, shape or state
what is thermal energy( heat energy)
energy traveling from a hotter object to a cooler object
what is radiated energy
waves carry the energy of light and sound (both travel in forms of waves) sun radiates light energy and loudspeakers radiate sound energy/ it is the energy carried out in electromagnetic waves
what is nuclear potential energy
the energy in the nucleus of an atom
chemical potential energy
the energy released by chemical reactions
what is gravitational potential energy
the energy gained by the object due to its work done against gravity
elastic potential energy
energy stored in an object by which it can regain its original shape and size when the deforming force is removed
what is the formula for kinetic energy
ke=1/2mv2 (kinetic energy= 0.5 x mass x velocity 2
what is the formula for potential energy
mgh (mass x gravitity x height)
