A quantity that measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed.
What is Power?
The property of an object or system that enables it to do work
What is energy?
The magnitude of the force times the magnitude of the displacement
What is Work?
net force x distance
What is the formula for work?
This is the unit for the spring constant
what is k?
Work divided by this equals power
What is time?
Energy associated with an object in motion
What is kinetic energy?
This defines the work kinetic energy theorem
What is the change in kinetic energy?
KE + ∑PE
What is the formula for mechanical energy?
a parameter that is a measure of a spring's resistance to being compressed or stretched
What is the spring constant?
This is the Si unit for power
What is a watt?
When energy is stored in any compressed or stretched object
What is elastic potential energy?
net force × displacement ×cosine of the angle between them
What is Net Work?
mgh
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
The spring constant is also known as this constant.
What is the force constant?
A watt is also equal to this
What is joule per second (J/s)?
Potential and kinetic are examples of this type of energy
What is mechanical energy?
These are the two ways in which work is measured
What is (N×m) and joules (J)?
1/2mv²
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
This is the unit in which the spring constant is measured.
what is N/m?
746 watts is equal to this
What is a horsepower?
The situation where in the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy remains the same
What is the conservation of mechanical energy?
The work done by the friction can be calculated by the change in mechanical energy. If there is no friction, then this is the change.
What is zero?
½kx²
What is the formula for elastic potential energy?
The law of physics that states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x scales linearly with respect to that distance
What is Hookes Law?
