Work & Energy Flashcards
All 3 cards in this deck
What is the relationship between work done and energy transferred?
Work done (J) = energy transferred (J) — they are equal and measured in joules.
State the equation for work done.
work done (J) = force (N) × distance moved in the direction of the force (m),
True or false? If a force acts at right angles to the direction an object moves, that force does no work on the object.
True. Only distance moved in the direction of the force counts.
