Work, Power, & Energy
Chapter 12 and 13
What is Work?
A: Definition of Work
Work: The product of force and distance
when a force is used to move an object.
B: No Work Without Motion!
• In order for you to do work on an object,
the object must move some distance as a
result of your force.
C. Only Force in the Same
Direction
• In order to do work on an object, the force
you exert must be in the same direction as
the object’s motion.
Is it work?
#1. Pulling books out of
your backpack.
#2. Carrying a bag of
groceries.
Motion
Lift
Motion
Force applied: lifting (pulling) books
Distance moved: distance from bag to table.
Lift
Force applied: lifting bags
Distance: bags move, but different
direction than the force
D. Formula for Work
Work = Force X Distance
E. Units for Work
Work = Force X Distance
Force (F) = Newton's (N)
Distance (D) = Meters (m)
Work (W) = Joules (J)
One joule equals 0.2388 calories or 0.0009481 Btu.
What was a Newton??
Newton = kilograms X acceleration of gravity
Newton = kilograms X 10 m/s2
Oh Yeah! Force (in Newtons) is equal to mass times acceleration!

#1. To help rearrange the furniture in your
classroom, you exert a force of 20 N to
push a desk 10 m. How much work did
you do?
Work = Force X Distance
W
F
Work = 20 N X 10 m
D
Work = 200 J
#2. A hydraulic lift exerts a force of 12,000N
to lift a car 2 m. How much work is done
on the car?
Work = Force X Distance
Work = 12,000 N X 2 m
Work = 24,000 J

#3. It took 500 Joules to push a chair 10
meters across the floor. With what force
was the chair pushed?
Force = Work
Distance
Force = 500 J
10 m
Force = 50 N

What does Power mean?
Electricity
Control
Strength

Machine
A. Definition of Power
• The rate at which work is done or the
amount of work done in a unit of time.
B. Formula for Power
Power = Work
Time
C. Units for Power
Work – measured in Joules (J)
Time – measured in seconds (s)
Power- measured in J/s or Watts (W)
In Other Words…
1 J/s = 1 Watt
1 Kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts

Practice Problems
#1. A crane lifts an 8,000 N beam 75 m to the top
of a building in 30 seconds. How much power
does the crane use?
Power = Work
Time
Work = Force X Distance
Work = 8,000 N X 75 m
Power = 600,000 J
30 s
Work = 600,000 J
Power = 20,000 W

#2. A motor exerts a force of 10,000 N to lift an
elevator 6 m in 5 seconds. What is the power
produced by the motor?
Power = Work
Time
Work = Force X Distance
Work = 10,000 N X 6 m
Power = 60,000 J

#3. A tow truck exerts a force of 9,000 N to pull a
car out of a ditch. It moves the car a distance of
6 m in 25 s. What is the power of the tow truck?
Power = Work
Time
Work = Force X Distance
Work = 9,000 N X 6 m
Power = 54,000 J

Energy
A. Energy Definition
The ability to do work.
What is Work?
B. Two Types of Energy
a. Kinetic Energy- the energy an object has due to
its motion.
Example: a rolling ball.
b. Potential Energy- energy that is stored in
an object due to its position.
Example: a bow and arrow.
Example: a battery.
Identify one form of potential energy and one form of kinetic energy.
C. Calculating Energy
a. Kinetic Energy =
Mass X Velocity2
2
K.E. = mv2
2
b. Units –
mass= kilograms (kg)
velocity = meters per second (m/s)
K.E. = Joules
c. Practice Problems
i. An 80 kg man is jogging at a velocity of
4 m/s. What is his kinetic energy?
K.E. = mv2
2
K.E. = 80 kg X (4 m/s)2
2
K.E. = 80 kg X 16 m/s
2
K.E. = 640 J
ii. A 40 kg boy is jogging at a velocity of
4 m/s. What is his kinetic energy?
K.E. = mv2
2
K.E. = 40 kg X (4 m/s)2
2
K.E. = 40 kg X 16 m/s
2
K.E. = 320 J
iii. A 40 kg boy is jogging at a velocity of
2 m/s. What is his kinetic
energy?
K.E. = mv2
2
K.E. = 40 kg X (2 m/s)2
2
K.E. = 40 kg X 4 m/s
2
K.E. = 80 J
