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
What is the formula relating efficiency, work output and work input?
efficiency = work output/work input
