Every day we do work. Many days we also don’t do work. Work is defined as a the product of force and the distance the object moves. Work = Force × Distance If the object does not move, work is not being done. Pushing the wall vs. writing with a pencil.
Force is measured in ______________. Force can be calculated by taking the _______ and multiplying it by the _______ according to Newton’s _____ Law. Distance will be measured in meters. The unit of work then is a Nm a.k.a., the joule(J) – rhymes with cool.
How much work is done when a 1N force moves a book 2m? Work = Force =W = F × d Distance =
When 70.0 J of work is done to push a cart 3.5 m, how much force is used? Work = Force =W = F × d Distance =
Haw far does a barbell move when the person expends 1100J in exerting 500N of force? Work = Force =W = F × d Distance =
How powerful a person is physically depends on two things: the amount of work they can do, and how fast they can do it. Power is defined as a the amount of work done during a certain period of time. Power = Work ÷ Time Who has more power a small person running fast or a big person walking slow?
Work is measured in ______________. Work can be calculated by taking the _______ and multiplying it by the _______. Time will be measured in seconds. The unit of power then is a J/s, a.k.a. the watt (yes, like the unit on your power bill) whose symbol is W.
How much power is required to do 55 joules of work in 55 seconds? Power= Work = Time =
If it take 400 watts of power to push a heavy box a certain distance in 10 seconds, how much work was done? Power= Work = Time =
How much time would it take to move a car 350 m if a 35 N force was pushing so that 2042 watts of power were used? Power= Work = Time =
How much power does a person have if they push a cart 3.5m with 20N of force for 0.5 seconds? Power= Work = Time =
