Module 5 Work, Energy and Power

?
What is work done?
Work done= force x distance moved in the direction of the force
1 of 10
How are work done and energy transferred linked?
They are equal (energy= the capacity to do work).
2 of 10
How do you calculate work done by a force when the force is applied at an angle?
The component of the force in the direction of motion is fcos(angle). W= Fxcos(angle)
3 of 10
What is the principle of conservation of energy?
The total energy of a closed system remains constant: energy can never be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.
4 of 10
What is kinetic energy and how do you calculate it?
The energy associated with an object as a result of its motion. Ek= 1/2 mv^2
5 of 10
What is gravitational potential energy and how do you calculate it?
The capacity for doing work as a result of an object's position in a gravitational field. GPE= mass x g x height
6 of 10
Which equation relating kinetic energy to gpe eliminates mass?
v= square root of 2gh
7 of 10
What is power and how is it calculated?
Rate of work done. P= Work done/time (rate of energy transfer)
8 of 10
What equation for power can be used when constant force is necessary to maintain constant speed?
P=Fv
9 of 10
How do you calculate efficiency?
useful output energy/total input energy x100
