Work And Power Flashcards
Kinetic
Moving objects
Thermal
Hot objects
Chemical
Releases energy by a chemical reaction
Gravitational potential
Anything in a gravitational field (falling objects)
Elastic potential
Anything stretched
Electrostatic
2 charges attracting or repelling each other
Magnetic
2 magnets attracting or repelling each other
Nuclear
Releases energy from atomic nuclei in nuclear reactions
Work done definiton
Energy transferred
Work done equation
Work done = force ✖️ distance moved
1 watt=
1 joule of work done every second
Power definition
How much work done per second
Power equation
Power = energy transferred ➗ time taken
Scalar
Magnitude
Vector
Magnitude and direction
System?
Object or group of objects
A closed system?
When the net energy change is zero
How can energy be transferred?
Heating, forces, doing work or electrical equipment
When a system changes what happens?
Energy is transferred in or out
Some dissipates and is stored in rubbish ways
