WORK
Is defined as the product of net force
acting on a body and a distance moved
in one direction.
Work is the energy transferred to or
from a system by a force that acts on it.
Work= Force x Parallel distance
Wk=FD
SI Unit = J (joules)
Work (force at angle to distance)
POWER
Is the speed or rate of work.
P= Wk
t
SI Unit of Power = W (Watt)
ENERGY
The ability to do work
KINETIC ENERGY: Is the energy of motion
𝑚𝑣 2
KE= (Unit: Joule)
2
POTENTIAL ENERGY: An object can store energy as
the result of its position or elastic source
PE=mgd (Unit: Joule)
