Energy power and work done Flashcards
What is energy?
The capacity to do work.
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of a body due to its motion.
What is potential energy?
The stored energy in a system
What is chemical potential energy?
The energy stored in a substance due to the position of atoms or electrons in a substance
What is elastic potential energy?
The energy stored in a body due to its elastic deformation
What is gravitational potential energy?
The energy stored in a body due to its height above the ground
What are the principles of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. The total energy in an isolated system remains constant
what is the efficiency formula?
efficiency=useful energy output/total energy input times 100%
what is work done?
work done by a constant force of an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force.
when is work done?
when the object moves in the direction of the applied force
what is the formula for kinetic energy?
e=1/2mv2
what is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
e=mgh
what is power?
the rate of work done/the rate of energy conversion
what is the formula for power?
p=wd/t or p=e/t time is in seconds, work done and energy is in joules.
