2 categories of work: (1) against another force (2) to change speed
2.
Axis: imaginary line around which rotation takes place
3.
Cause of Centrifugal Force: the object's inertia
4.
Centrifugal Force: the outward force felt during circular motion
5.
Centripetal Force: any force that causes an object to follow a circular path
6.
Efficiency: How good a machine is at using the energy supplied to it for useful work
7.
Energy: the ability to do work
8.
Gravitational Potential Energy: stored energy due to height
9.
Kinetic Energy: energy of motion
10.
Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form into another
11.
Machines: devices used to multiply forces, multiply distances, or change the direction of forces
12.
Mechanical Advantage: the factor by which the input force is multiplied
13.
Potential Energy: stored Energy
14.
Power: the rate at which work is done
15.
Revolution: turning about an external axis
16.
Rotation: turning about an internal axis
17.
Rotational Speed: the rate at which rotations occur
18.
Tangential Speed: Linear speed of something moving along a circular path.
19.
Unit for Energy: Joules (J)
20.
Unit for Power: Watts (W)
21.
Units for work: Joules (J)
22.
Why are centrifugal forces fictitious?: No action-reaction pair
23.
Work: a change in energy
