Cards in this set: Term Force Definition any influence capable of producing a change in the motion of a body. It is a push or pull. Term Three ways a force can act on a body Definition cause the mody to move, retard or stop a body, and it can change the direction of the body Term Resistance Definition is any force which can stop or retard the movement of a body. Ex. friction, load, and inertia. Term Inertia Definition the reluctance of a body to change motion. Term Inertia related to Definition the quantity of matter in a body. Lead ball vs a wooden ball. Term Energy Definition a force which can cause a body to move Term Forms of energy Definition Mechanical, heat, electrical, fluid, light, chemical, and sound Term Kinetic energy Definition energy in motion Term potential energy Definition energy of position or store energy Term Work Definition a force which causes an object to move a distance. This can only be done by kinetic energy. this = Force x distance Term Units for work Definition foot-pound, joule Term Power Definition the speed or rate of doing work. This = (force x distance)/time or Work/time Term Horsepower Definition unit to measure the amount of power produced. 1 of these = 746 watts Term Pressure Definition the measure of a force's intensity. This = force/area Term Mechanical transmission of energy Definition is through levers, chains, pulleys, belts, cams, and gears Term Electrical transmission of energy Definition is through a wire as electricity Term pneumatic transmission of energy Definition is in the form of compressed air Term Hydraulic transmission of energy Definition is in the form of pressurized liquid Term Heat energy transmission Definition is always from higher amounts to lower amounts
