Work Energy and power Flashcards
How do you work out work done?
W=F x s x cos(@)
Work done =Force x displacement x cos(theta)
What is work done and what is it measured in
Work done = energy transferred
Measured in joules, J
Define power …
The rate of energy transferred per second.
Power is measured in …
Watts
What is one watt equal to ?
1 joule per second.
The equation for power using w is
Power = change in work done / change in time.
P= w/t
The equation for kinetic energy is …
1/2mv^2
The equation for power of a moving object is …
P=FV
What does the principle of conservation of energy state?
Energy can not be created or destroyed only transfers from one form to another.
Energy can not be created of destroyed only transferred to another form, what is this?
The principle of conservation of energy.
The efficiency of a system can be calculated using energy by the equation….
Efficiency= useful energy given out / total energy input
X100
What is the equation for efficiency of a system using power?
Efficiency = useful powerful output/ power input.
Change in gravitation potential energy is given by the equation …
M x g x change in height
Fill the blank
1/2_v^2 = _gh
What is this saying?
M
Gravitation potential = Kinetic
When ignoring resistive forces.
