3. WORK
Who is doing more work?

4. WORK Work = force x parallel distance W = F x d
Work is defined as the product of the net force acting on a body and its displacement (in the direction of the force).
Work =
force x parallel distance
W =
F x d
Unit of Energy: 1 Joule = 1 J = 1 Nm = 1 kgm2/s2

5. For work to be done, force and motion must be in the same direction
Only the component of the applied force, F, in the direction of the motion of the lawn mower, FHorizontal, is used to do work on the lawn mower.
For work to be done, force and motion must be in the same direction

6. Example 1:
An object is moved with a force of 15 N across a horizontal surface. How much work is done if the object is moved 50 m?
W = F x d
F = 15 N
d = 50 m
W = ???
W = (15 N)(50 m)
W = 750 J

7. Example 2:
650 J of work is done in moving a desk a horizontal distance of 5 m. How much force is used to move the desk?
F = ???
d = 5 m
W = 650 J
F = 130 N

8. Example 3: F = w = m x g F = 10 kg x 10 m/s2 = 100 N W = F x d
How much work is done in lifting a 10 kg box 1.5 m off the floor?
F = w
= m x g
m = 10 kg
d = 1.5 m
F = ???
W = ???
F = 10 kg x 10 m/s2 = 100 N
W = F x d
= 100 N x 1.5 m
W = 150 J

9. Example 4:
How much work is done while walking 5.0 m holding an object with mass of 3.0 kg?
No work is being done, since force and motion are not in the same direction.

10. SI Unit for Power: 1 watt = 1 J/s
Power is the rate at which work is done.
SI Unit for Power: 1 watt = 1 J/s

11. Example 1:
A force of 150 N is used to push a motorcycle 10 m along a road in 20 s. Calculate the power in watts.
F = 150 N
d = 10 m
t = 20 s
P = ???
P = 75 watts

12. Example 2:
An 80 kg man runs up a flight of stairs 5.0 m high in 10 seconds. What is the man’s power output in watts?
F = w
= m x g
m = 80 kg
d = 5.0 m
t = 10 s
P = ???
F = 80 kg x 10 m/s2 = 800 N
P = 400 watts

13. Example 3:
A pump lifts 30 kg of water a vertical distance of 20 m each second. What is the power output?
F = w
= m x g
m = 30 kg
d = 20 m
t = 1 s
P = ???
F = 30 kg x 10 m/s2 = 300 N
P = 6000 watts

14. Example 4:
A crane uses 750 kwatts of power to lift a car 0.5 m in 12 seconds. How much work is done?
P = 750 kwatts
d = 0.5 m
t = 12 s
W =???
W = P x t
= 750 kwatts x 12 s
W = 9000 kJ

15. Example 4:
A crane uses 750 kwatts of power to lift a car 0.5 m in 12 seconds. How much work is done?
What force is used by the crane?
W = 9000 kJ
d = 0.5 m
F =???
F = kN

16. Example 5: F1 = F2 d1 = d2 W1 = W2 t1 > t2 1 2 P1 < P2
Which person does more work, 1 or 2?
Which person has greater power, 1 or 2?
F1 = F2
d1 = d2
W1 = W2
t1 > t2 1 2
P1 < P2

17. ENERGY Energy is the ability to do work
The brick and the hammer possess energy and thus can do work on the nail
The SI units for energy is joules (J).
1J = 1 joule = 1 kgm2/s2

18. ENERGY There are two types of energy here: Energy of motion
Stored energy
Potential
Kinetic

19. ENERGY Energy can be converted from one type to another. Potential E
Kinetic & potential
Kinetic E

20. Velocity has greater effect on KE than mass
KINETIC ENERGY
Kinetic energy is energy of motion.
Velocity has greater effect on KE than mass
KE is a scalar quantity
(Note: Energy is never a vector)

21. Example 1:
What is the kinetic energy of a 60 kg girl on skis traveling at 20 m/s?
m = 60 kg
v = 20 m/s
KE = ???
KE = J

22. Example 2:
A sports car is moving at 4.0 m/s. If the mass of the car is 800 kg, how much KE does it have?
m = 800 kg
v = 4.0 m/s
KE = ???
KE = 6400 J

23. Faster car has 4 times greater KE
Example 3:
Two identical cars are moving, one with twice the velocity of the other. How much more kinetic energy does the faster car possess?
v2 = 2 v1
Faster car has 4 times greater KE

24. POTENTIAL ENERGY Potential energy is stored energy.
The compressed spring has potential energy because when released it can do work on the mass, m.

25. POTENTIAL ENERGY PE = m g h
Gravitational potential energy is energy of position.
Potential energy =
Weight x height
High PE
PE =
m g h
Low PE

26. Example 1: = (100 kg) (10 m/s2) (50 m)
A mass of 100 kg is lifted a distance of 50 m. How much PE does it possess?
PE = m g h
m = 100 kg
h = 50 m
PE = ???
= (100 kg) (10 m/s2) (50 m)
PE = J

27. Example 2:
A 70-kg diver standing on a diving platform possesses J of PE. How high is the platform?
m = 70 kg
h = ???
PE = J
h = 50 m

28. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
The sum of KE and PE in a system is constant, in the absence of friction.
KE + PE = constant
KE + PE = ETotal

29. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy cannot be created or destroyed PE
It may be transformed from one form to another
 ETotal in a system remains constant. KE

30. Example 1: = (10 kg) (10 m/s2) (100 m)
A 10-kg boulder rests at the edge of a 100-m cliff. How much PE does the rock possess?
m = 10 kg
h = 100 m
PE = ???
PE = m g h
= (10 kg) (10 m/s2) (100 m)
PE = J

31. Example 1: KEbottom = PEtop = 10000 J
The rock rolls off the cliff and falls to the bottom. How much KE does the rock possess at the bottom of the cliff?
KEbottom = PEtop
= J

32. Example 1: v2 = 2000 m2/s2 Thus, v = 45 m/s
What speed does the rock have just before hitting the ground?
m = 10 kg
v = ???
KE = J
v2 = 2000 m2/s2
Thus, v = 45 m/s

33. Example 2:
A 60-kg boy and his sled (neglect the mass of the sled) are at a 10 m high slope. How much PE do the boy and sled possess?
PE = mgh
m = 60 kg
h = 10 m
PE = ???
= (60 kg)(10 m/s2)(10 m)
PE = 6000 J

34. Example 2:
What kinds of energy, and how much of each, do they possess halfway down the slope?
@ halfway
PE = KE
PE = KE = 3000 J
