New cards
Energy
the ability to do work
2
New cards
Work
an action done whenever a force causes an object to move
3
New cards
Kinetic energy
the energy of motion
4
New cards
Potential energy
stored energy
5
New cards
the law of conversion of energy
energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form
6
New cards
friction
a force that resists movement, resulting in loss of energy through heat
7
New cards
efficiency
a value indicating how much energy is lost due to friction or heat, expressed as a percentage
8
New cards
E=
Wo/Wi x 100
