work done
force applied x distance moved in direction of the force
kinetic energy
energy an object has due to the fact it is moving
deriving kinetic energy
energy = work done
wd= f x s
f= m x a
wd = m x a x s
given u=0 and v=v
v^2 = 2 x a x s
v^2/2 = a x s
wd= m x v^2/2
wd = 0.5 x m x v^2
energy = 0.5 x m x v^2
gravitational potential energy
the capacity for doing work as a result of an objects position in a gravitational field
deriving gpe
gpe = wd
wd = f x s
force = always weight so mg
so wd= m x g x s
and direction of force will always be vertical so s=height
gpe= m x g x h
power equation with force
P=W/t
P= F x d/ t
d/t = v
so
P= F x v
conservation of energy
The Total Energy of a closed system remains
constant
