Work Energy And Momentum Flashcards
Work done on an object if calculated by
Work done = force multiplied by distance
Work and energy what is the unit
Joule j
Energy transferred =
Work done
What’s the work done on a object if a force of 300N moves it a distance of 8m
300 multiplied by 8 = 2400J
Gravitational potential energy
Is energy stored in an object because of its position in earths gravitational field
Power
Rate of transfer energy
Kinetic energy
Moving objects have it
Momentum
All moving objects have it
Unit of momentum
Kg m/a
Momentum has two things
Size and direction
Impact time
Duration of impact
How do crumple zones on a car work
By reducing forces acting by increasing the time taken to change the momentum
Seat belts and air bags do what
Spread the force across the chest also increase impact time
