Work, Force, Distance

Front

What is the formula for calculating work?

Back

Work = Force x Distance

Front

What unit is work measured in?

Back

Joules (J)

Front

If a force of 10 N moves an object 5 m, how much work is done?

Back

50 J

Front

What is the relationship between work and energy?

Back

Work is the transfer of energy.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newtons (N)

Front

How does the angle between force and distance affect work done?

Back

Work is maximized when the force is applied in the direction of motion.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position.

Front

How do you calculate gravitational potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height (PE = mgh)
