1
New cards

Work done

The energy required to complete a job

2
New cards

Equation for work done

Work done (J) = force (N) x distance (M); W = f x d

3
New cards

Work done =

Energy transferred

4
New cards

Gravitational potential energy

The amount of energy an object has due to its height above the ground

5
New cards

Equation for gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x height (m); GPE = m x g x h

6
New cards

Equation for kinetic energy

Kinetic energy (J) = ½ x mass (kg) x speed2 (m/s); KE = ½ x m x v2

7
New cards

Power

The rate of transfer of energy / the rate of doing work

8
New cards

Equation for power

Power = work done / time taken; p = W / t
