Energy & Work
Work involves a change in a system.




changing an object’s position
heating or cooling a building,
generating a image on the TV screen,
moving a speaker cone to make sound
Since different tasks require different
amounts of work, some things require
more energy than others.
Work is…

F = force in Newtons

Work- A quantity that measures the effects of
a force acting over a distance.
Work is a result of motion in the direction of
the force.
There is no work without motion (d=0).
Distance-means distance in the direction of
the force. If a force is vertical and motion is
horizontal, No work is done.

Question #2
If you push vigorously against
a brick wall, how much work
do you do on the wall?
a) A lot
b) None
c) Without numbers, how
can we know?
d) No idea
Answer #2: (b) None
There is no work done on
the wall as there is no
displacement of the wall.

What are the units of WORK?


Work is measured in Newton-meters (N•m) or footpounds (ft•lb)
A Newton-meter is called a “JOULE” (sounds like
‘jewel’)
– Named after James Prescott Joule (1818-1889)
– British physicist who established the
mechanical equivalence of heat and discovered
the first law of thermodynamics.

a 2.0 kg rock falls 1.5 m.

w = F (d) cos()
What is the formula for Force (F)
F = m (g) or F = m (9.8 m/s2)
w = (m · g) (d) cos()
w = (2.0kg · 9.8m/s2)(1.5m) cos(0°)
w = 29 J
Negative Work...

 = 0°

Cos(0°) = 1

 = 180°

Cos(180°) = -1

Answer #3: (d) 16000 J
How much work is done when a man pushes a car
with an 800 N constant force over a distance of 20
m?
w = F (d) cos()
w = (800 N)(20 m) cos(0°)
w = 16 000 J

loaded dolly 100 ft with a force of 150 lb at an
angle of 45°?

Answer #4: (c) 10606.6 ft-lb
How much work is done by a woman pulling a
loaded dolly 100 ft with a force of 150 lb at an
angle of 45°?
w = F (d) cos()
w = (150 lb)(100 ft) cos(45°)
w = 10606.6 ft-lb
Power & Work




Work can be done at different rates.
Since work involves the transfer of energy, the
faster work is done, the quicker energy needs to
be transferred.
Power is the measure of how fast work can be
done.
In other words, power is the rate at which energy
is transferred.
Power is…

unit of power.

For example…

Let's carry a box of books up a set of stairs.
From experience, we know that running the books up the
stairs takes more energy than walking the same distance
(you would be more tired if you ran).
But the amount of work done is the same since the books
weighed the same and moved the same distance each trip.
However, the work is done much faster if we run, so
energy must be converted faster.
Therefore, more power is required.
For example #2…



Think of a racecar versus an economy car.
They both can travel the same distance, but the
race car does it much faster since it is capable of
expending much more energy in much less time.
This is because the more powerful car can convert
energy quicker.
For example #3…




Think of an 18-wheeler versus an economy car.
They both can travel the same distance, but the
economy car does it much faster since it is capable
of expending much more energy in much less
time.
BUT…
The truck can carry more weight (exert a greater
force) and is more powerful…
Electrical Power
•

•
•
•
Electrical Power is defined the same way.
Work must be done to move electrons through the electrical
devices (i.e.,resistance).
More resistance means more work must be done to allow the
device to operate.
More electrical power means more energy is being
converted.
This electrical energy is supplied by the source of the
electrical current, like a battery or generator.
Energy
The ability to do work.
 An object has energy if it is able to produce
change in itself or its surroundings.

Energy lets us do work

“Energy is the ability to do Work”
Energy is important to all living things in order
to maintain life functions.
Humans use energy to modify their environment
and perform work.
Energy is measured by the amount of work it is
able to do.
The units of energy are joules (J).
Energy exists in different forms

Mechanical energy (moving objects and their positions)
Radiant energy (light and solar energy)
Chemical energy (including the food you eat and fuels we
burn)
Thermal or heat energy (molecules moving faster means
more heat)
Electrical energy (electrons moving through a wire)
Nuclear energy (energy locked in the nucleus of an atom)
Energy can be transferred…

Fossil fuels like coal and oil can be burned to heat
water that boils into steam that turns a turbine to
generate electricity that you use to operate a
stereo.

In the example of riding a bicycle down a steep
hill, you begin with a lot of potential energy at
the top of the hill and gain kinetic energy as you
coast down the hill.
If you are not making the kinetic energy
(movement down the hill), where does it come
from? The answer is simple: your potential
energy at the top is transformed into kinetic
energy as you speed along.

As you speed down a steep hill on a bicycle, you are moving
and therefore have kinetic energy.
But where did this energy come from? You probably already
know that it came from your position at the top of the hill.
At the top of the hill, you had the ability to do work (move
the bicycle) purely because of where you were. You had the
potential to perform the work of moving the bicycle.
Whenever you work with mechanical energy, you probably
are dealing with both forms together in the same system.
Potential Energy
 Energy
that is a result of an object’s
position or condition.
 All potential energy is Stored Energy.
–
Pull back on a bow string and bend the
bow. The object then possesses potential
energy.

A rock on a table top has more potential energy than when
it is on the ground due to its position.
This is a form of gravitational potential energy.
Fuel is an example of chemical potential energy, due to its
ability to burn.

Which would affect the kinetic energy of an object
more, doubling its mass or its velocity?

doubling the mass would result in a doubling of the KE.
doubling the velocity would quadruple the KE.
