Work, Energy and Power Flashcards
1
Q
Work-Energy theorem
A
The total work done on an object is equal to the change in the object’s kinetic energy
2
Q
Conservative force
A
A force for which the work done in moving an object between two points is independent of the path taken
3
Q
Non-conservative force
A
A force for which the work done in moving an object between two points depends on the path taken
4
Q
Principle of conservation of mechanical energy
A
The total mechanical energy in an isolated system remains constant
5
Q
Power
A
The rate at which is done or energy is expended
6
Q
Work
A
The work done on an object where F is a constant force
