What are the possible units for pressure?
Pa and Nm-2
What are the units for work done?
J
What are the units for power
W
Define work done
Amount of energy transferred
Define power
Energy transferred per second
1W is equivalent to …..
1J/s
What is the equation that relates power and work done?
Power = work done / time
Define the terms in Delta W = f x Delta s
Delta W = work done
f = force
Delta s = change in displacement
Define the terms in Delta W = p x Delta V
Delta W = work done
p = pressure
Delta V = change in volume
If a gas expands is work done by the gas on the surroundings or on the gas by the surroundings
Work done by the gas on the surroundings
If a gas contracts is work done by the gas on the surroundings or on the gas by the surroundings
Work is done on the gas by the surroundings
