Physics 11
Work
 In physics, work is
defined as the dot
product of force
and displacement
 The result is
measured in Joules
(J) and a Joule is a
Newton metre
 Work is a scalar

 Work will equal zero if:
 Force applied is equal to zero
 Displacement is equal to zero
 The angle between the force and the
displacement is equal to ninety degrees

Work on an moving object
A 2kg object is moving at 10 m/s when a
force is applied to it accelerating it to
20m/s over a distance of 5m. What is the

driver sees a moose on the road
ahead. The driver slams on the
brakes, bringing the car to a stop just

Potential Energy
 The work done on the system can be
recovered, so it must be stored. This stored
energy is Potential Energy, Ep or PE.
 Energy is defined as the potential to do
work.
 KE: a moving object can apply a force through a
distance
 PE: An object in the air, when dropped, can
apply a force through a distance (dropping

Conservation of Energy
 The total energy of a closed system is
constant.
 The total energy in the system is the
sum of the kinetic and potential
energy of it’s various parts.

Energy is a “State Function”
 Each type/form of energy we have seen so
far is a ‘state function’
 A state function only cares about the
current state of the closed system
 How the system got into that state does not
matter  path-independent
