Energy Power Work Force Momentum Acceleration Velocity
What is velocity and it’s formula?
A measure of how fast something is going (speed)
v=d/t
Speed of light
c= 3 x 10^8 ms
What is acceleration and it’s formula?
The rate of change of velocity with time
a = Vf - vo/ t
What is force and it’s formula?
A push or pull on an object
F= ma
What is work and it’s formula?
The force applied to an object times the distance over which it is applied
W= Fd
What is power and it’s formula?
the rate of doing work
P = Work/t = Fd/t = mad/t
Heat
the kinetic energy of the random motion of molecules
3 types of heat transfer
Convection
Conduction
Radiation
