Work Done & Energy Transfer (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

$W = F \times s$

Joules ($J$)

Newtons ($N$)

Metres ($m$)

Distance along line of action of force

Energy transferred from object doing work to another form

Force of $1N$ causes displacement of $1m$

$1$ newton-metre

Rise in temperature of object

$W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Elastic potential energy

Elastic potential energy stored
