how to calculate work done

force x distance

New cards
2

what is the unit for work done

J

New cards
3

name the 6 energy transfers

  • chemical

  • kinetic

  • thermal

  • nuclear

  • gravitational potential energy

  • elastic potential energy

New cards
4

how to calculate power

work done/time

New cards
5

what are the three non-contact forces

  • magnetic

  • electrostatic

  • gravity

New cards
6

write a method to measure power output

  • give students a 10N weight

  • they must lift weight from shoulder to floor 20 times and measure the time

  • measure the students shoulder height and multiply by 20

  • work done = force x distance

  • power = work done/time

New cards
7

what is a resolving force

it means splitting up a force into 2 component forces at right angles to eachother

New cards
8

how to make the turning force larger

increase the force used to push

New cards
9

what happens if the distance from the pivot is bigger

the larger the distance the bigger the turning force

New cards
10

how to calculate moment

force x perpendicular distance

New cards
11

how to calculate force

moment/distance

New cards
12
