Work and Energy Work Done by a Constant Force (I) Work (W) How effective is the force in moving a body ? W [Joule] = ( F cos ) d Both magnitude (F) and directions ( ) must be taken into account.
Work and Energy Work Done by a Constant Force (II) Example: Work done on the bag by the person.. Special case: W = 0 J a) W P = F P d cos ( 90 o ) b) W g = m g d cos ( 90 o ) Nothing to do with the motion

Work and Energy Example 2 (cont’d) (1) W net = F d (a) cos 180 o = - F d (a) = 0 – m v (a) 2 / 2 - F x (20.0 m) = - m (16.7 m/s) 2 / 2 (2) W net = F d (b) cos 180 o = - F d (b) = 0 – m v (b) 2 / 2 - F x (? m) = - m (33.3 m/s) 2 / 2 (3) F & m are common. Thus, ? = 80.0 m
