Work, Power and Energy Flashcards
Alternative Sources of Energy
Wind, hydro electricity, solar power,bio fuels, hydrogen
Potential Energy
potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object
Law of Conservation Energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.
What is density?
Density: Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) 1.
What is force?
Force: Force is an influence that changes the motion of an object. The SI unit for force is the newton (N) 1.
What is a watt?
Watt: Watt is the unit of power. It is defined as one joule per second. The SI unit for power is watts (W) 1.
What is work?
Work: Work is the energy transferred when a force acts on an object and moves it through a distance. The SI unit for work is joules (J) 1.
