1.The product of force and displacement
Energy Conservation Law
2.The rate of doing work Gravitational Potential Energy
3.The energy in motion Kinetic Energy
4.The energy of an object due to its position Tangential Acceleration
relative to its equilibrium position Angular Acceleration
5.The energy of an object due to its position Elastic Potential Energy
relative to the earth’s surface Power
6.The angle through which the object rotates Angular Displacement
7.Change in angular velocity over time Tangential Speed
8.Radius times angular acceleration Work
9.Radius times angular velocity
10.Energy is not created nor destroyed.
 B. Problem Solving. Read the problems given below. Answer
directly, but show your solution.
1) A 50-kg student who is late for a class runs up two flights of stairs
whose combined vertical height is 7.0 m in 10 s (and he then
silently enters the classroom while the professor is writing on the
chalkboard). Calculate the student’s power output in doing work
against gravity in Watts.
2) A centrifuge turning at 20,000 rpm is suddenly turned off. Before
it comes to a stop, the centrifuge spins for 1,500 revolutions.
a. Calculate the angular acceleration of the centrifuge assuming it
to be constant.
b. How long would it take for it to stop?
