Study Notes
Power
- Definition: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Formula:
- ( P = \frac{W}{t} )
- where ( P ) = power (Watts), ( W ) = work done (Joules), ( t ) = time (seconds).
- ( P = \frac{W}{t} )
- Units:
- Standard unit of power is the Watt (W), equivalent to one Joule per second.
Work
- Definition: The process of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
- Formula:
- ( W = F \times d \times \cos(\theta) )
- where ( W ) = work (Joules), ( F ) = force (Newtons), ( d ) = displacement (meters), ( \theta ) = angle between force and displacement.
- ( W = F \times d \times \cos(\theta) )
- Conditions for Work:
- Work is done only when a force causes displacement.
- No work is done if there is no movement or if the movement is perpendicular to the force.
Energy
- Definition: The ability to do work.
- Types:
- Kinetic Energy:
- Energy of an object in motion.
- Formula: ( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 )
- where ( m ) = mass (kg), ( v ) = velocity (m/s).
- Potential Energy:
- Stored energy based on position.
- Gravitational Potential Energy: ( PE = mgh )
- where ( h ) = height (meters), ( g ) = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).
- Kinetic Energy:
- Conservation of Energy:
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Relationship between Power, Work, and Energy
- Power quantifies how quickly work is done or energy is converted.
- Higher power means more work done in less time.
- Energy consumption can be calculated using power and time:
- ( E = P \times t )
- where ( E ) = energy (Joules), ( P ) = power (Watts), ( t ) = time (seconds).
- ( E = P \times t )
Power
- Defined as the rate at which work is performed or energy is transferred.
- Power formula: ( P = \frac{W}{t} ) (Power in Watts, Work in Joules, Time in seconds).
- Standard unit of power is the Watt (W), which is equal to one Joule per second.
Work
- Defined as the energy transfer process that occurs when an external force moves an object over a distance.
- Work formula: ( W = F \times d \times \cos(\theta) ) (Work in Joules, Force in Newtons, Displacement in meters, Angle in radians).
- Work requires that a force causes displacement; no work occurs if there's no movement or if the movement is perpendicular to the force.
Energy
- Defined as the ability to perform work.
- Kinetic Energy is the energy possessed by an object in motion, calculated by ( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 ) (Mass in kg, Velocity in m/s).
- Potential Energy is stored energy based on an object's position; Gravitational Potential Energy is given by ( PE = mgh ) (Height in meters, ( g ) is 9.81 m/s²).
- Conservation of Energy principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transformed into different forms.
Relationship between Power, Work, and Energy
- Power indicates how swiftly work is completed or energy is converted.
- Increased power results in greater work accomplishment in a shorter timeframe.
- Energy consumption can be determined by the formula: ( E = P \times t ) (Energy in Joules, Power in Watts, Time in seconds).
