Forces and transfer of energy Flashcards
Formula for work done?
work done= force x distance
(N) x(m)
Define pressure
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object per unit area.
SI unit for pressure
N/m2 which is equivalent to
one pascal
formula for pressure?
pressure=force/area
define work
work is defined as the product of force applied and distance moved in direction or force
SI unit for energy?
Joules
Formula for kinetic energy?
1/2mv2
mass=kg
v=speed of the object in m/s
What can be used to measure force?
Spring balance
SI unit for force?
Newton
Formula to find weight?
weight=mass x gravitational field of earth
where the gravitational field of the earth is 10N/kg
What are the conditions for work to be done?
-There is a force acting on an object
-the object moves
-the object moves in the direction of the force
Describe the conservation of energy.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted or transferred from one form to another.
