Energy, Work and Power

Energy is measured in __________ (__________). It gives us the ability to do work. In physics work is done when energy is transferred. When an object is moved a distance against a force, work has been done to overcome that force.

If the force is greater, then the work done will be __________.

If the distance is further, then the work done will be __________.

Work Done = Energy transferred = Applied Force x distance moved in the direction of the force

This can be summarised in the following 'magic triangle':

Work done against frictional forces is mainly transformed into __________.

Power is the rate of energy transfer (or work done):

Power = __________ = __________
__________ __________

Power is measured in __________ (__________), equivalent to 1 Joule per second.
