Work And Energy Flashcards
A unit used to measure energy and work. One calorie is equal to 4.18 joules of energy; one joule of work is done when a force of one Newton moves and object one meter
Joule
Stored energy
Potential energy; the energy an object has due to its position, molecular arrangement, or chemical composition
The energy of motion, A moving object has the most kinetic energy at the point here it moves fastest.
Kinetic energy
The number of times a machine multiplies the input force; output force divided by input force.
Mechanical energy
Energy can not disappear it is still in one form or another
Conservation of energy
The rate at which work is done
Power
The unit of measurement for power, which is equal to one joule of work done or energy transferred in one second. For, example, a 75 W light bulb converts electrical energy into heat and light at a rate of 75 joules per second
Watt
The unit of measurement of power for engines and motors. One horsepower equals 745 watts
Horsepower
The use of force to move an object over a distance
