Define work in words and mathematically (providing units)

words: transfer of energy into/out of a system; also the change in kinetic energy

W = F*d <-- Force parallel to displacement

W = Kf-K0

The potential energy of a 3 kg ball at it's maximum height in the air at 9 m.

264.6 J

100

What is mechanical energy

The combination of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy

100

Is energy always conserved?

Yes

200

The unit of work in 3 ways

Joules (J) or (Nm) OR (kgm^2/s^2)

200

This is the velocity of a bird walking on the ground with a kinetic energy of 49 J and a mass of 2 kg

7 m/s

These are the equations for the three types of energy we have learned in class

K = 1/2mv2

Ug = mgh

Us= 1/2 k x2

200

A satellite is orbiting around the moon with these forms of energy present

Gravitational Potential and Kinetic

200

Does lake eerie get jealous of lake superior?

yes

300

A box is lifted into the air and placed back into the same spot. State each force doing work and the net work of the motion.

Forces doing work: Fgravity and Fapplied


Net work: 0 

300

The mechanical energy of a 9 kg ball falling down at 4 m/s when it is 7 m above the ground.

689 J

300

In elastic potential energy, k and x represent these quantities with these respective units

k: Spring constant (N/m)

x: distance compressed or stretched (m)

300

Mechanical Energy is not conserved when this is present

What is Friction

400

How much work is done in carrying a 35 kg box 2 m?

None: Force is perpendicular but must be parallel

400

How much work must be done to increase a 540 kg car's velocity from rest to 33 m/s?

2.94 x 10 5 J

400

How will the gravitational potential energy of an object change if the height doubles

Double // increase by factor of 2

400

The sky is falling (like a hexagon from Chicken Little)! What is the conservation of energy equation for when it is 40 m above the ground?

Ug0 = K+ Ugf

400

This woman had $2, an irregular digestive system, and a DREAM

Who is Jamie Lee Curtis

500

Is work a vector or a scalar? Why?

Scalar: Sign indicates whether energy is being trasnferred into or out of a system

500

What is the final velocity when a boulder hits the ground after falling off of a cliff 1080 m high?

145.5 m/s

500

The kinetic energy of an object will change by a factor of this if the mass is halved and the velocity is tripled

9/2 or 4.5 

500

Describe all forms of energy involved when jumping on a pogo stick

Elastic Potential: when we bounce (spring compresses)

Gravitational Potential: As soon as we leave the ground (we have a position in a gravitational field)

Kinetic: When we leave the ground and are in motion; not including the peak of the jump
