Forces and Energy
Review of forces and energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| SI unit for force | Newtons |
| Force = mass times acceleration | 2nd law of motion |
| "for every force there is an equal and opposite force" | 3rd law of motion |
| He wrote the laws of motion | Newton |
| diagram of ALL the forces acting on an object | Free body diagram |
| SI unit for energy | Joules |
| the ability to do work (is needed to do work) | energy |
| energy based on postion (height) | potential [PE] |
| energy based on motion (velocity) | kinetic [KE] |
| energy that is constant in a closed system | mechanical [ME] |
| states that energy is not created or destroyed in a closed system | law of conservation of energy |
| F output / F input | mechanical advantage [MA] (formula) |
| where PE is greatest | top |
| where KE is greatest | bottom |
| where PE = KE | halfway down |
