ENERGY, WORK, POWER Conservation of Energy SC.CE.05.04
WORK IS DONE WHEN: a force moves a body a distance W=Fd
ENERGY IS: The capacity to do work
ENERGY IS: The capacity to do work ENERGY=WORK
ENERGY IS: The capacity to do work ENERGY=WORK So Energy= Force x distance E=Fd
UNIT OF ENERGY: Since Energy=Force x distance, the unit of energy must include a unit of force and distance
UNIT OF ENERGY: IN PHYSICS THE UNIT OF ENERGY IS THE JOULE (J)
UNIT OF ENERGY: 1 Joule = 1 Newton of force × 1 meter of distance
UNIT OF ENERGY: 1 J=1 N ×1 m
UNIT OF ENERGY: Since Energy=Force x distance, the unit of energy must include a unit of force and distance IN PHYSICS THE UNIT OF ENERGY IS THE JOULE (J) 1 Joule = 1 Newton of force × 1 meter of distance 1 J=1N × 1m
REVIEW QUESTIONS: How does energy relate to work? Energy is equivalent to work
REVIEW QUESTIONS: What unit is used to express energy? The Joule (J)
REVIEW QUESTIONS: The Joule is an abbreviation of what two units? Newton and meter (Force and distance)
POWER IS: The RATE at which work is done
POWER IS: Found by dividing amount of work done by time
POWER IS: Power=Work/time
POWER IS: P=W/t
POWER IS: The RATE at which work is done Found by dividing amount of work done by time Power=Work/time P=W/t
OK…E=W=Fd & P=W/t So, P=Fd/t
OK…E=W=Fd & P=W/t The primary unit of power in physics is the watt (W)
OK…E=W=Fd & P=W/t One watt = One Joule/second
OK…E=W=Fd & P=W/t So, P=Fd/t The primary unit of power in physics is the watt (W) One watt = One Joule/second
