O BJECTIVE D AY 1 OBJECTIVE/LEARNING GOAL(S) 1. I will know the difference between the non- scientific and scientific definition of work. 2. I will know the difference between work and power. 3. I will be able to mathematically solve story problems involving work and power.

☻ We can easily say that the nonscientific understanding for work is like a job, or sitting and working on your research paper.

☻ In science, work is the product of force and displacement. ☻ What does the word product mean? ☻ Multiplication ☻ Do you remember what displacement means? ☻ The difference between where you start and stop.

☻ Is there a force? YES (There is a kick.) ☻ Is there displacement? YES (The crate starts and stops at different points.) ☻ Is work done? (Work = Force x displacement) YES

FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT MUST BE IN THE SAME DIRECTION!

The weight lifter applies a large force to hold the barbell over his head. Is the barbell moving? NO IS THERE WORK BEING DONE WHEN HE HOLDS IT UP IN THE AIR? NO NO DISPLACEMENT – NO WORK IS BEING DONE!

S MALL GROUP IS WORK BEING DONE ? E XPLAIN WHY FOR EACH EXAMPLE. A. B. C.

P ARTNER PRACTICE – ANSWER WORK IS BEING DONE! FORCE and displacement are in the SAME direction! A. Force displacement

Force displacement Force and displacement are perpendicular (90 0 ) from each other. B. WORK IS NOT BEING DONE! FORCE and displacement are in DIFFERENT directions!

C. WORK IS NOT BEING DONE! -- NO MOVEMENT

work= force x displacement Equation: W = F x d

W = F x d What other equation uses W? W = mg What does W mean? Weight!

What is the unit for force? newton What is the unit for displacement? meter What is the unit for work then? newton ∙ meter N∙m

The joule (J) is the SI unit of work. A joule is equal to 1 newton-meter. JOULE! Science gives NEWTON-METER A SPECIAL NAME

A weight lifter raises a 1600 newton barbell to a height of 2.0 meters. How much work was done? Givens: 1600 newton = F 2.0 meters = d Unknown: Work Equation: W = Fd Plug in numbers: W = 1600 N × 2.0 m Work = 3,200 N∙m

A karate expert kicks a crate with a force of 2,250 N. The crate moves a displacement of 5 m. How much work was done? W = 11,250 N∙m Givens: 2,250 N = F 5.0 m = d Unknown: Work Equation: W = Fd Plug in numbers: W = 2,250 N × 5.0 m

How are work and power related? Power is the rate of doing work. Doing work at a faster rate requires more power.

Work is required to move snow from one location to another. One person uses a shovel and another uses a snow blower. Does one have more or less power than the other? Explain.

Because the snow blower can remove more snow in less time, it requires more power than hand shoveling does.

Power = Work time P = W t

What is the unit for Work? Joule What is the unit for time? second What is the unit for power then? Joule s

The SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. WATT! Science gives Joule/s A SPECIAL NAME

You exert a vertical force of 72 newtons to lift a box to a height of 1.0 meter in a time of 2.0 seconds. How much power is used to lift the box?

Givens: 72 newtons = F 1.0 meters = d 2 seconds = t Unknown: Power Equation: P = W/t P = Fd/t Plug in numbers: P = (72 N)(1 m) ÷ 2 s Power = 36 J/s P = 36 W

Is your answer reasonable? Explain 36 watts is not a lot of power, which seems reasonable considering the box was lifted slowly, through a height of only 1 meter.

Your family is moving to a new apartment. While lifting a box 1.5 m straight up to put it on a truck, you exert an upward force of 200 N for 1.0 s. How much power is required to do this?

Givens: 200 newtons = F 1.5 meters = d 1 seconds = t Unknown: Power Equation: P = W/t P = Fd/t Plug in numbers: P = (200 N)(1.5 m) ÷ 1 s Power = 300 J/s P = 300 W

FUN FACT: The Watt is named after James Watt ( ).

Work is the product of force in the direction of displacement. SI Unit of work is joule or newton.meter. Power is the rate of work. SI Unit of power is watt or joule per second.

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? a. pushing against a locked door b. suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain c. pulling a trailer up a hill d. carrying a box down a corridor

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? A. pushing against a locked door B. suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain C. pulling a trailer up a hill D. carrying a box down a corridor C is the only answer where Force and displacement are in the same direction!
