Work and Energy Flashcard

Front

What is the rate at which work is done?

Back

Power

Front

What is necessary for work to be done in scientific terms?

Back

Motion in the same direction

Front

How can you prove that an object is in motion?

Back

His position changes relative to the trees and benches.

Front

What is the transformation of energy from potential to kinetic?

Back

Potential energy is transformed or converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

The object's weight and the distance from the ground.

Front

Define work in physics.

Back

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational Potential Energy (PE) = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
