Work Done And Potential Energy Flashcards
1
Q
What is work done?
A
When a force moves an object through a difference and energy is transferred
2
Q
How do you work out work done?
A
Work done = force x distance
3
Q
What is work done measure in?
A
Joules
4
Q
What is gravitational potential energy?
A
The energy an object has because of its vertical position in a gravitational field
5
Q
Explain gravitational potential energy m?
A
When an object is raised, work is done against the force of gravity so the object gains gravitational potential energy
6
Q
How do you work out gravitational potential energy?
A
Mass x g x height
