Work, Energy, and Power

It is interesting to note that the forces we face on a daily basis, known as variable force. Basically a force is known as working on a system when there is a change or displacement in the system. With a variable force, integration plays a major role in calculating the work done. Exerting force on […]

Work is defined as a force that causes an item to move (or be displaced). Work is the scalar product of the force applied on an item and the displacement induced by that force in the case of a constant force. Work has no direction owing to the nature of a scalar product (or dot

Mechanical devices that can alter the direction or amount of a force are known as simple machines. It’s a tool that makes labour easier by reducing effort, speeding up motion, applying force at a convenient location, or lowering the risk of a dangerous operation. To multiply force, they employ leverage or mechanical advantage. There are few

Variable forces are intriguing to learn about because most of the forces we face on a daily basis are variable in nature. When a force is applied in the direction of the force, it is said to do work on a system if the system moves in that direction. Integration is required in the event

A basic definition of work is that when a force moves an object against an external force, the work done gets stored in the object as potential energy. This energy is released in the form of kinetic energy when the work’s external force is removed. For example, if a spring is pushed against itself, it

The ratio of working power (measured in kW) absorbed by the load to perceived power (measured in amperes,kVA) flowing through the circuit is described as the power factor (PF) of an AC electrical power system. The power factor is a dimensionless number that lies between 1 and-1 in the closed interval. 1 (actually known as

Hydrolysis Reaction and its working principle What helps break down the material we eat as we digest it? Water is the correct answer. Whether you’re having a breakfast muffin or a delicious filet mignon, you’ll need some form of drink to help you digest your meal. In fact, hydrolysis is a perfect illustration of your

Work is related to force resulting in displacement. However, work holds no relation to the amount of time the force acted to cause the displacement. Sometimes the rate of work done is relatively quick compared to other times when it is slow. Note that the rate of work done is defined as the power.  Let

Don’t miss: Unacademy Aarambh 2024 – Biggest Event for IIT JEE and NEET UG Work is the product of force and displacement. Energy is the capacity of doing work. Energy is defined as the product of power and time. Work and energy have the same units kg.m2/s2. The SI unit of work and energy is

The work-energy theorem derived understands energy in relation to force. In the work-energy theorem formula, the role of displacement is also crucial. The work-energy theorem is derived from several other aspects. These will be elaborated on in the following sections. However, knowing what energy is in physics is essential to understanding the work-energy theorem derivation.
