P3 - Work and Power

?
When is work done?
When a force moves an object in the direction in which the force acts
1 of 10
What is the formula for work done?
work done = force x distance moved (in the direction of the force)
2 of 10
What is the weight the measurement of?
The gravitational attraction on a body acting towards the centre of the Earth
3 of 10
What is the formula for weight?
weight = mass x gravitational field strength
4 of 10
What is power?
the rate at which work is done
5 of 10
What is the formula for power?
power = work done / time taken
6 of 10
What are the rearrangements of this equation?
work done = power x time taken, time taken = work done / power
7 of 10
Most powerful cars have ____ fuel consumption?
greater
8 of 10
How does fuel pollute the environment?
car exhaust gases, especially carbon dioxide, are harmful. Carbon dioxide is a major source of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change
9 of 10
How is power related to force and speed?
power = workdone/timetaken = forceXdistance/timetaken = forceXdistance/time = forceXspeed
