Link between force, work done and distance

• work done = force x distance
• work done = distance / force
• work done = force / distance
• work done = force x work
• work done = force / work

Link between energy transferred and work done

• energy transferred = work done

• energy transferrred = 1/2 work done

• energy transferred = work done2

• energy transferred = 1 / work done

• energy transferred = 4/3 π x work done³

Efficiency equation

• efficiency = useful output / total input
• efficiency = total output / total input
• efficiency = total input / total output
• efficiency = total input / useful output
• efficiency = useful output / useful input

Starting from rest, a marble first rolls down a steeper hill, then down a less steep hill of the same height. Ignoring friction, for which is it going faster at the bottom?

• Faster at the bottom of the steeper hill

• Faster at the bottom of the less steep hill

• Same speed at the bottom of both hills

• Can’t say without knowing the mass of the marble
