Work and Energy Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Kinetic energy
A
2
Q
Gravitational potential energy
A
3
Q
Elastic potential energy
A
4
Q
Total mechanical energy
A
this means that the potential energy of an object right before it is dropped will equat the kinetic energy right before it hits the ground
5
Q
Work done by a nonconservative force (ex. Friction)
A
6
Q
Work (moving an object)
A
7
Q
Work (isobaric processes)
A
this is simply a variation of Work = force x disance
8
Q
When the volume is increased, work is done (on/by) the system
A
When the volume is increased, work is done BY the system
the gas is pushing the piston upwards
9
Q
When the volume is decreased, work is done (on/by) the system
A
When the volume is increased, work is done ON the system
the gas piston is pushing down on the gas
