Work |
Work done on an object by a force is the product of the displacement and the component of the force parallel to the displacement |
|
|
Work-Energy Theorem |
The net work done on an object is equal to the change in the object's kinetic energy |
|
|
Conservative force |
A force for which the work done in moving an object between two points is independent of the path taken |
|
|
Non-conservative force |
A force for which the work done in moving the object between two points is dependent on the path taken |
|
|
Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy |
The total mechanical in an isolated system remains constant |
|
|
Power |
The rate at which work is done |
|
|
Energy |
Ability to do work |
|
|
Gravitational Potential Energy |
The energy an object possesses due it's position relative to a reference point |
|
|
Kinetic energy |
The energy an object has as a result of the objects motion |
|
|
Law of Conservation of Energy |
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, merely transferred |
|
|
Positive work |
Work done when energy is added to the system |
|
|
Negative work |
Work done when energy is being removed from the system |
