kinetic energy.
3 of 36
Work is done whenever a _____ moves something.
force
4 of 36
Whenever work is done, _____ is transferred from one place to another.
energy
5 of 36
W = F × d W = ?
W = work done (joules, J)
6 of 36
W = F × d F = ?
F = force applied (newtons, N)
7 of 36
W = F × d D = ?
D = distance moved in the direction of the force (metres)
8 of 36
e.g. 10 N is applied to move the box 2 m.
Work done = 10 × 2 = 20 J
9 of 36
Power is a measure of how ____ work is being done, so how quickly ______ is being transferred.
quickly, energy

P = E ÷ t P = ?
P = power (watts, W)
11 of 36
P = E ÷ t E = ?
E = work done (joules, J)
12 of 36
P = E ÷ t t = ?
t = time taken (seconds, s)
13 of 36
e.g. An electric drill transfers 3000 J in 15 s. What is its power?
Power = 3000 ÷ 15 = 200 W

Ep = m × g × h Ep = ?
Ep = the change in gravitational potential energy (joules)
19 of 36
Ep = m × g × h m = ?
m = mass (kilograms, kg)
20 of 36
Ep = m × g × h g = ?
g = gravitational field strength (newtons per kilogram, N/kg)
21 of 36
Ep = m × g × h h = ?
h = change in height (metres, m)
22 of 36
e.g. A book with a mass of 0.25 kg is lifted 2 m onto a bookshelf. If g is 10 N/kg, what is the change in gravitational potential energy?
Ep = 0.25 × 10 × 2 = 5 J
23 of 36
All ______ objects have kinetic energy.
moving
24 of 36
What does kinetic energy an object has depends on?
its mass, and its speed.
25 of 36
Ek = ½ × m × v2 Ek = ?
Ek = kinetic energy (joules, J)
26 of 36
Ek = ½ × m × v2 m = ?
m = mass (kilograms, k)
27 of 36
Ek = ½ × m × v2 v = ?
v = speed (metres per second, m/s)
28 of 36
e.g. What is the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg car travelling at 5 m/s?
Ek = ½ × 1000 × 52 = 500 × 25 = 12500 J
