Question
Answer
The transfer of energy to an object by the application of a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force   Work  
🗑
Work = force x distance   Work Equation  
🗑
Work is measured in what SI unit?   Joules  
🗑
For work to be done, the object that has the force applied HAS to move in the direction of that _________________   force  
🗑
The rate at which work is done, or how much work is done in a given amount of time   Power  
🗑
Power = work/time   Power equation  
🗑
The SI unit for power is expressed in what?   a watt  
🗑
Does lifting a car by hand or by jack require the same amount of work?   Yes  
🗑
Machines help do work by changing the ________ of an input force and/or the ______________ of the force   Size; direction  
🗑
Machines make the force greater by decreasing the distance over which the force is applied   Multiplying the Force  
🗑
Name 1 of 2 things that simple machines can do:   1)exchange a force for distance 2)Change the direction of a force  
🗑
The ratio between the output force and the input force is equal to the input distance and the output distance if friction is ignored   Mechanical Advantage Equation  
🗑
The capacity to do work   Energy  
🗑
What is energy associated with?   Energy is associated with the objects motion  
🗑
Whenever work is done, energy is _____________ or _______________ from one system to another system.   transformed; transferred  
🗑
T or F: Work is done only when an object experiences a change in its position or its motion   True  
🗑
Energy is measured in what?   Joules  
🗑
When can the amount of energy be calculated?   When energy is in motion OR at rest  
🗑
The energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object   Potential Energy  
🗑
Potential energy is also called:   Energy of position  
🗑
A rubber band STORES energy in the form of:   potential energy  
🗑
Any system of two or more objects separated by a vertical distance has potential energy that results in a gravitational attraction between the objects called:   gravitational potential energy  
🗑
A comparison in the amount of work you getout of a simple machine compared to the amount of work you put into a simple machine   Efficiency  
🗑
Gravitational Potential Energy = mass X free-fall acceleration x height   PE = mgh  
🗑
Once an object begins to move, it has the ability to do ___________.   Work  
🗑
The energy an object has because it is moving is called: ___________________   Kinetic Energy  
🗑
The kinetic energy (KE) of an object depends on the object's _____________ and _________________.   Mass and Speed  
🗑
Which has the ability to do more work if traveling at the same speed: a bowling ball or a tennis ball?   Bowling ball  
🗑
Which can do more work: an apple falling at 10 m/s or an apple falling at 1 m/s?   Apple at 10 m/s  
🗑
KE = 1/2 X mass X speed squared   Kinetic Energy Equation  
🗑
Does kinetic energy depend MORE on speed or mass?   Speed  
🗑
The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is:   mechanical energy  
🗑

🗑
Energy _____________ changes from one form to another   readily  
🗑
When a car is at its lowest point on the roller coaster, its energy is almost all _____________   Kinetic  
🗑
Energy cannot be created or destroyed   Law of conservation of energy  
🗑
When no energy is transferred as heat or as work, mechanical energy is conserved   First Law of Thermodynamics  
🗑
Why is it that: not all of the work done by a machine is useful work?   Because of friction and other factors  
🗑
