The angle θ in the work done formula represents the angle between the force and the direction of motion.
True
What is the most accurate formula for calculating work done?
Fd cos θ
What type of work is done when friction slows down an object?
Negative
1 kWh is equivalent to
3,600,000
J.
True
Kinetic energy is measured in
Joules
(J).
True
One foot-pound is equal to 1.356
joules
.
True
Match the variable with its unit:
Kinetic Energy ↔️ Joules
Mass ↔️ Kilograms
Velocity ↔️ Meters per second
A 5 kg ball moving at 8 m/s has a kinetic energy of
160 J
.
True
Match the scenario with the type of work done:
Lifting an object against gravity ↔️ Positive work
Object slowing down due to friction ↔️ Negative work
Work done can be positive or
negative
depending on the scenario.
One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3,600,000
Joules
.
True
What is the definition of work done?
Energy transferred by force
What is the sign of work done when lifting an object against gravity?
Positive
In the formula W = Fd cos θ, W represents work done and is measured in
Joules
If a force of 50 N pushes a block 5 meters parallel to the direction of motion, the work done is
250
What is the definition of kinetic energy?
Energy due to motion
What is the standard SI unit for work done?
Joules
Kinetic energy
is the energy an object possesses due to its
motion
.
What happens to kinetic energy if velocity doubles?
It quadruples
What is work done defined as?
Energy transferred by force
As work done increases, the
potential energy
of the object may also increase.
True
