Work And Energy Flashcards
1
Q
Force-Distance Graph
A
Shows that work is increasing as an object moves over a distance. The area under the graph represents the work done.
2
Q
Energy
A
The ability to do work. When energy is changed to different forms, work is done.
3
Q
Mechanical energy
A
The energy of an object due to its position or its motion.
4
Q
Kinetic energy
A
Energy of an object due to its motion. Heat and electricity are both classified as kinetic energy because moving particles are involved.
5
Q
Potential energy
A
The energy of an object related to its position, shape, or molecular bonds inside a material.
6
Q
Power
A
The rate of doing work or the rate of using energy.
