EDITION COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS
◉ Law of Conservation of Energy.
Answer: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
◉ Energy Conversion.
Answer: The transformation of energy from one form to another.
◉ Force (F).
Answer: A push or pull that can change the motion or shape of an
object.
◉ Formula for Force.
Answer: F = m × a.
◉ Motion.
Answer: The change in position of an object over time.
◉ Inertia.
, Answer: The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of
motion.
◉ Work (W).
Answer: The transfer of energy that occurs when a force causes
displacement in the direction of the force.
◉ Formula for Work.
Answer: W = F × d × cos(e).
◉ Power (P).
Answer: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
◉ Formula for Power.
Answer: P = W / t.
◉ Efficiency (η).
Answer: The ability of a system to convert input energy into useful
output.
◉ Formula for Efficiency.
Answer: Efficiency = (Useful Output / Input) × 100%.
