- force - displacement - cause

An object will definitely have potential energy if its _____. (list all that apply) - moving above the ground - moving on the ground - moving - at rest above the ground - at rest on the ground - at rest

- moving above the ground - at rest above the ground

1 Joule =

1 Newton * 1 meter

In order for a force to qualify as having done work on an object, there must be a displacement and the force must ______ the displacement

CAUSE

The standard metric unit of work is the

Joule

Units of work

Joule (J)

Mac and tosh run up the same hill. Mac has twice the mass as Tosh. Tosh climbs up the hill in one-half the time as Mac. In this situation,

Mac does more work than Tosh, but they have the same power rating.

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its _____ and potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its ______

Motion, position

A softball player is sliding into third base. One she hits the dirt, the force of friction acts upon her to slow her down as she slides a distance of 1.5 meters across the distance. In this example, friction is doing ____ work upon the player. - positive - negative - zero

Negative

(work or not work) A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his head by one arm straight across the room at constant speed.

Not work

A child is pushing an empty box across a living room floor. The child exerts a constant rightward force upon the box to move it a distance of 2 meters to the right. In this example the child is doing ____ work upon the box.

Positive

Power equation

Power = Work / time

Work is done when - the displacement is not zero - the displacement is zero - the force and displacement are perpendicular - the force is zero

The displacement is not zero

Work equation
