Work, Power, & Energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating work?

Back

W = F * d, where W is work, F is force, and d is distance.

Front

What must occur for work to be done on an object?

Back

The object must move.

Front

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 m * v², where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

Define Kinetic Energy.

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is being transferred when work is done?

Back

Energy is transferred.

Front

What is the formula for Power?

Back

P = W / t, where P is power, W is work, and t is time.

Front

Define Power in the context of work and energy.

Back

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

PE = m * g * h, where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

Front

Define Gravitational Potential Energy.

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Front

What is the relationship between work and energy?

Back

Work is done when energy is transferred from one system to another.
