4. 6-1 Work Done by a Constant Force
In the SI system, the units of work are joules: 1 J = 1 N · m As long as this person does not lift or lower the bag of groceries, he is doing no work on it. The force he exerts has no component in the direction of motion.

5. 6-1 Work Done by a Constant Force
Solving work problems:
Draw a free-body diagram.
Choose a coordinate system.
Apply Newton’s laws to determine any unknown forces.
Find the work done by a specific force.
To find the net work, either find the net force and then find the work it does, or find the work done by each force and add.

6. 6-1 Work Done by a Constant Force
Work done by forces that oppose the direction of motion, such as friction, will be negative. Centripetal forces do no work, as they are always perpendicular to the direction of motion.

2. Crate is moving horizontally so we choose the x direction. There are 4 forces acting on the crate but we are only concerned with the ones acting in the x direction since we know that the ones acting in y direction will cancel out.
3. Both horizontal forces are know (Fp and Ff)
4. W done by pulling force (Fp):
W=FdcosƟ=100N (40m) cos 37=3195J
W done by friction(Ff):
W=Fd=-50N(40m)=-2000J
5. Net work=The sum of all the works
Wnet = Fp + Ff = 3195J J = 1195J
A 50kg crate is pulled 40m along a horizontal floor by a constant force exerted by a person, Fp=100N, which acts at a 37◦ angle as shown. The floor is rough and exerts a friction force Ff=50N. Determine the work done by each force acting on the crate, and the net work done on the crate.

2. Backpack is moving vertically so we choose the y direction. There are 2 forces acting on the backpack in the y direction (Fg and Fh). .
3. Since the backpack isn’t accelerating, we know the Fnet =0N. So
Fg=Fh =mg=15kg(9.8m/s2) = 147N.
4. a) W done by hitchhiker(Fh):
W=Fd=147N (10m) =1470J
b) W done by gravity(Fg):
W=Fd=-147N(10m)=-1470J
5. Net work=The sum of all the works
Wnet = Fg + Fh = 1470J J = 0J
a) Determine the work a hiker must do on a 15.0kg backpack to carry it up a hill of height h=10.0m, as shown. Determine also b) the work done by gravity on the backpack, and c) the net work done on the backpack. For simplicity, assume the motion is smooth and at constant velocity (acceleration is zero).

9. Example 6-3
Q: The Moon revolves around the Earth in a circular orbit, kept there by the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. Does gravity do positive, negative, or no work on the moon?
A: Force is perpendicular to distance so there is no work being done. This is why no fuel is needed to keep satellites (etc.) in orbit.

10. 6-2 Work Done by a Varying Force
For a force that varies, the work can be approximated by dividing the distance up into small pieces, finding the work done during each, and adding them up. As the pieces become very narrow, the work done is the area under the force vs. distance curve.

11. Put example in Journal
Find the area for each section
Area of triangle = 1/2bh
Area of rectangle =bh
1) (400N x 3m)/2 = 600J
2) 400N x 4m = 1600J
3) (400N x 3m)/2= 600J
Add to get total:
600J J + 600J = 2800J
b) Find the area for each section
Area of triangle = 1/2bh
Area of rectangle =bh
Since we found from 0-10m in part A, we
find the rest for part b and add.
1) (-200N x 1.5m)/2 = -150J
2) -200N x 2m = -400J
3) (-200N x 1.5m)/2= -150J
Add to get total:
-150J J J = -700J
Total for 0-15m:2800J-700J=2100J
Q) The force on a particle, acting along the x axis, varies as shown in Fig Determine the work done by this force to move the particle along the x axis: a) from x =0.0 to x=10.om; b) from x=x=0.0 to x=15.0m.

12. 6-10 Power Power is the rate at which work is done—
In the SI system, the units of power are watts:
1W = 1 J/s
The difference between walking and running up these stairs is power— the change in gravitational potential energy is the same.

13. 6-10 Power
Power is also needed for acceleration and for moving against the force of gravity. The average power can be written in terms of the force and the average velocity:

14. Example 6.16(pg. 16)
Q) A 60kg jogger runs up a long flight of stairs in
4.0s. The vertical height of the stairs is 4.5m.
Estimate the jogger’s power output in watts and
Horsepower. B) How much energy did this require?
Note: The example on the handout uses 70kg instead
of 60kg.
A)Given: m=60kg; h=4.5m; t=4.0s
Formula: Power = Work/time=Fd/t = mad/t
Jogger is moving against gravity so you would use
9.8m/s2 as your acceleration.
Substitution: 60kg (9.8m/s2) 4.5m = 2646J =
4.0s s
Answer w/unit: 662W
Convert to horsepower:
1 hp = 746W
662W x 1hp = 0.887hp
746W
B) Energy = Pt = 772W (4.0s) = 3088J

15. Example 6.18(pg. 17) A)Given: m=1400kg; Ɵ=10◦; v=80km/h
*Convert 80km/h to m/s to get a speed of 22.2m/s (the speed you use in the equation)
*To move up a steady speed, the car must exert a force equal to the sum of Fr and Fgx. Fgx =mgsin10◦=2382N
Fa= Fr + Fgx = 700N N = 3082N
Formula: Power = Work/time=Fd/t = Fv
Substitution: 3082N (22.2m/s) =
Answer w/unit: 68420W
Q) Calculate the power required of a 1400kg car under the following circumstances: a) The car climbs a 10◦ hill at a steady 80km/h b) The car accelerates along a level road from 90 to 110 km/h in 6.0s to pass another car. Assume a retarding force(Fr)on the car of 700N throughout. (This force is more about air resistance than friction)
Note: Part B continues on next slide.

16. Example 6.18(pg. 17) B) Given: vo = 90km/h; v=110km/h; t=6.0s
*Convert 90km/h and 110km/h to m/s to get a speed of 25m/s and 30.6m/s (the speeds you use in the equation)
*To accelerate up the hill, the car must exert a force equal to the sum of Fr and Fnet. Fnet = ma=m∆v/t=1400kg(30.6m/s-25m/s) =1307N
6.0s
Fa= Fr + Fnet = 700N N = 2007N
Formula: Power = Work/time=Fd/t = Fv
Substitution: 2007N (30.6m/s) =
Use 30.6m/s because the power is dependent on the force needed to get it to that speed.
