1
What is the definition of work done?
It is defined as the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of force
2
What is the SI Unit for all types of energy?
Joules represented as J
3
What is the formula for work done?
$Force (N) \times Distance \space moved \space in \space direction \space of \space force \space (m) = work \space done \space (J)$
4
In what situations is work NOT done
When distance does not change, force is not applied or distance does change but it is not in the direction of the force applied
5
What is the definition of energy?
It is the capacity to do work
6
What is the definition of kinetic energy?
It is defined as the energy that an object possesses due to its motion
7
What is the formula for kinetic energy
$\frac{1}{2} \times mass \space (kg) \times velocity^2 \space (m/s) = KE \space (J)$
8
What is the definition of gravitational potential energy
It is the energy that an object possesses because of its positon relative to the ground
9
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy
$mass (kg)\times gravity (N/kg)\times height (m).$ By default, assume gravity is 10 as that's the value for earth
10
What is the principle of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one system to another. The total energy of an isolated system (closed system) remains constant
11
What is the equation for applying the principle of conservation of energy
$Initial \space Energy + Work \space done \space by \space external \space Force = Final \space Energy + Work \space Done \space to \space overcome \space resistive \space force$
12
What is the definition of power
It is the rate of of work done
13
What is the formula for power
$\frac{Work \ Done(J)}{Time(s)}$ OR $\frac{Energy(J)}{Time(s)}$ OR $Force \times Constant \ Speed \space (m/s) = Power (W). \space 1 W = 1J/s$
14
What is the definition of Efficiency
It is defined as the percentage ratio of the output energy to the input energy
15
What is the formula for efficiency
$\frac{useful\,energy/power\,output}{total\,energy/power\,output} \times 100%$
16
What is the formula for acceleration
$\frac{New \ velocity \space (m/s) - old \ velocity \space (m/s)}{time \space (s)}$
17
How to calculate distance travelled with acceleration
The area of triangle below the line in DST graph. ie $\frac{1}{2} \times velocity \times time$
