lesson 5- work, force, & energy Flashcards
(20 cards)
newtons first law
an object at rest stays and an object at motion stays in motion with same direction
law of inertia
inertia: the tendency of an object to do nothing or remain unchanged
forces are equal in
magnitude, opposite in direction
objects move when a
force moving in one direction is greater than force moving in an opposite direction
what direction do objects move in
the direction of unbalanced force
force
push or pull on an object
formula for force
f = ma
what are three conditions that need to happen in order for work to happen
- there must be force
- object must move position
- object must move in same direction as force applied
work
energy transferred to an object when a force is applied causing the object to move
example of work or no? jason throwing a football
yes
example or work or no? reading a paper in class
no
what quantity is work?
scalar quantity
work formula
w = f x d
energy
ability to do work
what quantity is energy?
scalar
if the is no energy loss in a transfer then
change in energy = work
