- | * energy = work (joules) = force * distance | + | * **energy or work** (joules) = force * distance |
* J = F*d = applying 1 newton for 1 meter (units of kg * m²/s²) | * J = F*d = applying 1 newton for 1 meter (units of kg * m²/s²) | ||
* F = J/d | * F = J/d | ||
- | * power = work/time (joules/sec or watts) | + | * Work is positive if it is applied in the same direction as movement |
+ | * No (net) work is done moving an object horizontally some set distance (unless you overcome friction) - it does not gain or lose potential energy, or have increased kinetic energy at the conclusion | ||
+ | * **power** = work/time (joules/sec or watts) | ||
Fnet = Δp / Δt (since p = mv and Δv/Δtime = acceleration) | Fnet = Δp / Δt (since p = mv and Δv/Δtime = acceleration) | ||
