Work energy power

Cards (11)

  • Energy
    The capacity to do work.
  • Principle of conservation of energy
    Energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transferred between different stores.
  • What is work
    Force x distance moved in direction of the force.
  • Potential energy
    The energy due to an objects position, properties or forces acting on it.
  • What is kinetic energy
    The energy of an object due to its motion. kinetic energy= 1/2 x mass x velocity^2
  • What is electromagnetic radiation
    A photon consisting of transverse electric and magnetic waves in phase at right angles to each other.
  • What is power
    the rate of energy transfer
    Power= (energy transferred)/ time
    Power= force x velocity
  • What is load
    The force to overcome by a machine when it shifts or raises an object.
  • What is an effort
    A force applied to a machine to make it move
  • What is efficiency
    A ratio of useful energy transferred (or output power) to its input energy (or output power)
  • Gravitational potential energy
    Mass x acceleration due to gravity (g) x change in height
