Energy, Motion, Force, and Work

Front

What is work in physics?

Back

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force. It is calculated as Work = Force x Distance.

Front

What is power?

Back

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is measured in Watts.

Front

What unit is power measured in?

Back

Power is measured in Watts.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, etc.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object relative to a reference point.

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate, measured in Newtons.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes motion; when a force is applied to an object, it can change the object's speed or direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating work?

Back

Work = Force x Distance.
