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
