Work done
is the
useful energy
transferred . It is measured in
Joules
.
Two main types of work can be done: work done against a force and work done through heating. The work done against a
force
is given by the
equation…
Work done
=
Force
*
Distance moved
(
J
). (
N
). (
Metres
)
When a
force
moves an object ,
energy
is transferred and
work
is done.
The
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be
created
or
destroyed
, it can only be transferred into different forms
The
tens
forms of energy are :
Magnetic
Kinetic
Heat
Light
Gravitational potential
Chemical
Sound
Electrical
Elastic
Nuclear
