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
