CP Physics Energy Test Study Guide

Here are the list of topics to study for the CP Physics Energy Test on Friday

1.  knowing when work is done and when it is not done

2.  Calculating work and knowing the units of work

3.  Calculating Gravitational Potential Energy

4.  Calculating work when displacement is at an angle other than 90 degrees to Force

5.  work when displacement and force are at 90 degrees to each other

6.  Sign of work when force and displacement are 180 degrees apart

7.  Work accomplished when carrying something across a room

8.  Calculating Kinetic Energy given mass and velocity

9.  Calculating velocity given KE and mass

10.  Kinetic Energy Work Theorem,  solving for an unknown like final velocity  given initial velocity, force and distance

13.  solving for v when setting KE equal to GPE

14.  Calculating elastic potential energy

15.  setting one form of energy like kinetic equal to potential and solving for one variable like "v"

16.  Hooke's Law problem for a spring, solving for "k"

17.  Calculating power given work and time or given force and velocity

18.  Units of power including horsepower, watts, kilowatts, joules/sec

19.  definition of power
