energy - whole KO Flashcards
What is work done measured in?
Joules (J)
What is the equation for work done?
work done = force x distance
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x vepocity squared
What is the equation for efficiency?
efficiency = useful output energy transfer divided by total input energy transfer
What is the equation for gravitational energy?
gravitational energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height
Kanetic

Nuclear
The nucleus of an atom releases energy
Elastic potential
Things are stretched
What is the equation for power?
power = energy divided by time
Magnetic
Magnets that attract or repel
Thermal
All objects have thermal energy
Chemical
