Energy - Vocabulary

Front

What is Power in terms of work and time?

Back

Front

What is the formula for Elastic Potential Energy?

Back

Front

Can an object have both potential energy and kinetic energy at the same time?

Back

True. An object can possess both potential energy (due to its position) and kinetic energy (due to its motion) simultaneously.

Front

What does Positive Work mean?

Back

Positive Work occurs when the force applied is parallel and in the same direction as the motion of the object.

Front

What does Negative Work mean?

Back

Negative Work occurs when the force applied is parallel and in the opposite direction of the motion of the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy?

Back

Front

What is the definition of Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration, often related to gravitational or elastic forces.

Front

What is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between Work and Energy?

Back

Work is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance. Work done on an object results in a change in its energy.

Front

What is the unit of Power?

Back

The unit of Power is the Watt (W), which is equivalent to one Joule per second (J/s).
