Weight+Energy+Power
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the rate at which work is done ( work / time ) | power |
| SI unit for power | Watts |
| the Non-SI unit for power | horsepower |
| the ability to do work | Energy |
| energy transferred to/by an object to cause displacement | Work |
| SI unit for energy and work | Joules |
| the amount of matter an object has | mass |
| the SI unit for weight and force | Newtons (N) |
| SI unit for mass | kilograms (kg) |
| relationship between power and time | inversely proportional |
| relationship between power and work | directly proportional |
| anything that can cause object to accelerate or be displaced | Force (F) |
| energy based on mass and position (height) | potential energy (PE) |
| energy based on mass and velocity | kinetic energy (KE) |
| energy that is constant ; sum of PE and KE | mechanical energy (ME) |
| this is true of energy halfway down for falling objects | PE = KE |
| work output / work input x 100% | work efficiency formula |
| amount of work done if object is not displaced | O Joules |
| work formula if on a level surface | W = F x d |
| work formula if on an inclined plane | W = F x cos(angle) x d |
| states that mass is not created or destroyed ; only transfers forms | law of conservation of energy |
| law of conservation of energy only applies to this system type | closed system |
| the law of conservation of momentum can also be described as this law | 1st law of thermodynamics |
| this is true of energy at the top for falling objects | 100% PE & 0% KE |
| this is true of energy at the bottom for falling objects | 100% KE & 0% PE |
