what is work done equal to?
energy transferred
what is 1Nm equal to?
one Joule
what are the two types of work done?
mechanically
electrically
what is mechanical work done?
done over a distance
what is electrical work done?
done by the flow of charged particles
what is an object in equillibrium?
the forces acting on the object are balanced
how do you get an object to change motion/ accelerate?
energy is required to do work on the object- force applied has to be larger than the weight on the object
what is the formula for mechanical work done?
work done = force x distance (in the direction of the force applied)
