Work, Energy and Power

?
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.

Energy
The capacity for doing work measured in joules J.
2 of 8
Kinetic Energy
The energy associated with an object as a result of its motion.
3 of 8
Work
The product of force and the distance moved in the directon of the force measured in joules.
4 of 8
Gravitational Potential Energy
Capacity for doing work as a result of an object's position in a gravitational field.
5 of 8
Efficiencey
The ratio of useful output energy to total input energy, often expressed as a percentage.
6 of 8
Power
The rate of work done measured in watts.
7 of 8
Necking
When a material becomes longer and thinner at its weakest point after the ultimate tensile strength has been reached.
