1 Work Work: using a force for a distance W = F x d
The work done by forces on an object = changes in energy for that object. Work and Energy are measured in Joules 1 Joule=1 Newton • meter

2 Use the formula Work = Force x distance
42 How much work is performed when a 50 kg crate is pushed 15 m with a force of 20 N? F 300 J G 750 J H 1,000 J J 15,000 J Use the formula Work = Force x distance Force of 20 N x 15 meters = 300 Joules Answer:

3 6 Types of simple machines
Some Simple Machines: Inclined planes Screws Pulleys Wheel and axle Levers Wedge

4 Why use a machine? In an ideal (perfect) machine the work put into the machine (Win) = the work put out by that machine (Wout)

5 Machines make work easier
The ideal mechanical advantage of a machine (IMA) of a machine is the number of times the output force is larger than the input force IMA=Fout/Fin A machine can only make this happen by moving the input force through a farther distance than the output force Fin • din=Fout • dout

6 48 The diagram shows an electric motor lifting a 6 N block a distance of 3 m. The total amount of electrical energy used by the motor is 30 J. How much energy does the motor convert to heat? F 9 J G 12 J H 18 J J 21 J

7 Work Input = 30J done by the motor
Work Output = Resistance Force x Resistance Distance Workout = 18J = 6N x 3m The difference is lost as heat due to friction, which is 30J – 18J = 12J Answer G

8 Real Machines use Energy
No real machine is 100 % efficient. i.e. none put out more work than is put in Efficiency of a machine is work output/work input X 100 % Eff = Wout X 100% Win

9 Machines use power Power: the rate at which energy is used (work is done) P=Work/time Power is measured in H.P. or watts 1 watt = 1 Joule 1 sec

10 45 If a force of 100 newtons was exerted on an object and no work was done, the object must have —
A accelerated rapidly B remained motionless C decreased its velocity D gained momentum Work = Force x Distance Work = 0 Force = 100 N so 0 J = 100 N x d distance must be 0 It did not move!
