Work, Power, & Energy
WORK W = Fd = ∆ET The process of moving an object by applying a force. 2
Units of Work Look at the equation: W = F • d, the units are the units of force times displacement. So, Newton • meter A Newton • meter is called a Joule 1 Joule = 1 Newton • meter 1 J = 1 N • m 3

POWER ! Power is the rate of doing work. Power is measured in units called Watts 10
Units of Power The units of power are: Joules / Second = Watt J/s = W 11

Gravitational Potential Energy Energy that is stored in an object due to its height 𝚫PE = mg𝚫h 20
Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is energy of motion. 21
ET = PE + KE + Q Total Energy Total energy is conserved. It can be converted between PE and KE (and into other forms as well) Q = internal energy ET = PE + KE + Q 22
W = 𝚫ET Total Energy and Work When work is done by gravity or against it, the change in PE is equal to the work done. W = 𝚫ET 23
