Energy equations

Cards (7)

  • Work done = force x distance moved (J)
  • GPE = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x change in height, (m)
  • Kinetic Energy (J) = 0.5 x mass (kg) x speed squared (m/s)
  • Power (W) = energy transferred / time taken
  • Efficiency = useful output power / total input power x 100%
  • Efficiency = useful energy transferred by device / total energy supplied to the device x 100
  • Elastic potential energy = 1/2 x spring constant x extension squared
