transfer of energy
Work is defined as the ________ when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move.
2
New cards
potential energy
The ________ associated with a conservative force can be calculated using the formula: PE=- Wc, where Wc is the work done by the conservative force and PE is the ________.
3
New cards
Conservative forces
________ are forces that do not dissipate energy and do not depend on the path taken by the object.
4
New cards
Power
________ is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
5
New cards
Work can be calculated using the formula
W = F x d x cos(theta), where F is the force applied, d is the distance moved, and theta is the angle between the force and the displacement vectors
6
New cards
Power can be calculated using the formula
P = W/t, where W is the work done and t is the time taken
7
New cards
The work-energy theorem can be written as Wnet = KEf
KEi, where Wnet is the net work done, KEf is the final kinetic energy, and KEi is the initial kinetic energy
8
New cards
The potential energy associated with a conservative force can be calculated using the formula
PE = -Wc, where Wc is the work done by the conservative force and PE is the potential energy

work to make something move
acceleration w=fd w=mad
16
New cards
if negative net work is done
body's kinetic energy decreases by an amount W net force exerted on a body opposite to the body's direction of motion reduces speed and kinetic energy
17
New cards
mass is doubled, kinetic energy is
doubled

if speed is doubled, kinetic energy is
if speed is doubled, kinetic energy is
4 times as much capable of doing 4 times as much work
