7.1 Many types of Energy We have already talked about thermal energy or heat Kinetic energy = energy of motion (recall temperature is the average of kinetic energy) What about the energy used in machines?
Many types of energy Energy is the ability to do work
Work = Force x distance W = F x d Work is a form of energy measured in Newton meter (Nm) or Joules (J) Work is defined as a force applied over a distance
Which requires more effort or force, a short/steep or a long/gradual ramp?
W = F x d A force of 20 N is required to lift a box. The box is lifted from the floor to a shelf that is 2m high. What is the amount of work done? W = F x d W = 20 x 2 W = 40 Nm
W = F x d Pushing a wheelbarrow takes 8000 Nm of work. How much force was needed to move it 25 m?
Simple Machines Simple machines have one movement The movement of an inclined plane/ramp is a slide. A ramp is an old simple machine
Work requires a FORCE input over a DISTANCE Work being done by pedaling force uphill No Work
Pushing against a wall is NOT work… because it’s not moving!

Why should a heavier person sit closer to the fulcrum on a teeter totter?
Center of mass Girl’s Work = Boy’s Work Girl’s Force x girl’s distance = Boy’s Force x boy’s distance Weight(girl)x d = Weight(boy)x d
Weight(girl)x d = Weight(boy)x d The little girl’s weight is 133 N and sits 0.5m from the middle of the teeter totter. How far away does the boy sit if he weighs 265 N? Weight(girl)x d = Weight(boy)x d 133 x 0.5 = 265 x d (133x0.5)/265 = d
