What is the definition of work done?
Work is done when a
force
moves an object
How does the distance moved affect the work done when pushing an object?
More
distance
results in
more
work done
If a box is pushed with a force of 10 newtons over a distance of 5 meters, what is the work done?
50
joules
If you lift 20 joules of work in 4 seconds, what is your power?
5
watts
How does carrying heavy books slowly compare to running with them in terms of power?
It
takes
more
time
and
uses
less
power
If you push a box with a greater force, what happens to the work done?
The work done
increases
How is power calculated using work and time?
Power
is calculated
by
dividing
work
by
time
What does power tell us about work?
How quickly you do work
What is the unit of power?
Watts (W)
What are the components involved in calculating work done?
Force
(measured in
newtons
)
Distance
(measured in meters)
What does the calculation 20 J ÷ 4 s represent in the context of power?
The
power output
when lifting
work
What does power show in relation to work?
How
fast
you do work
If lifting a box takes the same work, what does lifting it quickly increase?
Power
How does the speed of lifting a box affect power?
More
speed means
more
power
What does the formula for power indicate?
Power equals
work done
divided
by time
What is the formula for power?
Power
=
Work Done
÷
Time
What is the unit of work?
Joules
(J)
How is work done calculated when pushing an object?
By multiplying the
force
by the
distance
How do you calculate power from work and time?
Power
=
Work
÷
Time
What are the relationships between work, power, and time?
Work is measured in
joules
(J)
Power is measured in
watts
(W)
Power = Work
÷
Time
What does the formula for work done represent?
It represents
force
multiplied by
distance
How does the concept of power relate to the efficiency of performing work?
Higher power indicates quicker work
completion
What factors determine the amount of work done?
Force applied
and
distance moved
What are the key differences between work and power?

needed
Power measures how quickly effort is applied
How is a watt defined in terms of joules?
1 watt equals 1 joule per
second
What does a joule measure in terms of work?
Energy needed to push 1
