Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between work, power, and time?

Work is the product of power and time. (correct)

Power is the product of work and time.

Work and power are independent of time.

Time is the product of work and power.

Which statement accurately describes displacement in the absence of force?

Displacement can occur with no net force applied. (correct)

Displacement requires an external force acting on the object.

Displacement implies acceleration in the absence of force.

Displacement is always zero if there is no force.

How does constant velocity relate to the work done on an object?

Work done is zero if there is no change in kinetic energy. (correct)

Work done is always greater than the displacement.

Constant velocity means acceleration is non-existent.

Constant velocity implies that work done is non-zero.

Study Notes

Work and Energy

Work done by a force is calculated by multiplying the force and displacement.
Work is measured in Joules.
No work is done when there is no displacement.
Work done is zero when the force and displacement are perpendicular.
If a body is displaced by a small distance due to a force, work can be considered to be done.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.
Kinetic energy is calculated as 1/2massvelocity^2.
If the velocity of a body doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
If the velocity of a body halves, its kinetic energy becomes one quarter of the original value.
Power is the rate at which work is done.
Power is measured in Watts.
1 Watt = 1 Joule per second.
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its position.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Energy can be transformed from one form to another.

Household Energy Consumption

A household consumes 260 units of energy per month.
