    Study Notes

    Work, Energy, and Power

    • Work: Applied force over a distance.
    • For work to be done, a force must move an object through a distance in the direction of the force.
    • Work is calculated as force multiplied by distance (in the direction of the force).
    • The formula for work is: Work = Force × Distance
    • The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton-metre (Nm).
    • Force: Force is mass multiplied by acceleration.
    • Force = mass × acceleration
    • Work can also be expressed using the force, mass, acceleration and displacement.
    • Work done= mass × acceleration × displacement

    Different Types of Energy

    • Energy: The ability to do work. It's a scalar quantity measured in joules (J).
    • Chemical Energy: Energy stored in chemicals, often used as food, or in chemical reactions (e.g. light given off).
    • Mechanical Energy: Energy due to position or motion.
    • Nuclear Energy: Energy from the nucleus of atoms.
    • Sound Energy: Vibrations of air particles.
    • Hydro Energy: Energy from water at a height.
    • Solar Energy: Energy from the sun.

    Potential Energy

    • Potential Energy: Energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
    • Gravitational potential energy (PE) is the potential energy of an object due to its height.
    • The formula for gravitational potential energy is: PE = mgh
    • m = mass in kilograms
    • g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 10 m/s²)
    • h = height in meters

    Kinetic Energy

    • Kinetic Energy: Energy stored in an object due to its motion.
    • The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2 × mv²
    • m = mass in kilograms
    • v = velocity in meters per second.
