Work, Energy and Power Flashcards
1
Q
Work-energy theorem
A
The work done on an object by a net force is equal to the change in the objects kinetic energy
2
Q
Conservative force
A
Work done in moving an object between two points is independent of the path taken
3
Q
Non-conservative force
A
Work done in moving an object between two points is dependent of the path taken
4
Q
Principle of conservation of mechanical energy
A
Total mechanical energy in an isolated system remains constant.
5
Q
Power
A
rate at which work is done or energy is expended
