Work Done (OCR GCSE Physics A, Combined (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

$W = F \times s$

Joules ($J$)

Newtons ($N$)

Metres ($m$)

Line of action of the force

Energy is transferred from object doing work to another form

Force of one newton causes displacement of one metre

$1$ newton-metre

Rise in temperature of the object

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

Elastic potential energy

Elastic potential energy stored
