Work and Energy Flashcard

The momentum of any closed, isolated system does not change.

Thermal energy.

If no net external torque acts on an object, then its angular momentum does not change.

Impulse-momentum theorem.

The skater has kinetic energy while moving.

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

The energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.

Work = Force × Distance × cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
