1 Aim: How can we apply work- energy to motion problems? Do Now: In your own words, what does energy mean to you? In your own words, what does energy mean to you? List and describe different forms of energy. List and describe different forms of energy.

2 How can we define energy? Energy is the ability to produce change in an object or its environment. Energy is the ability to produce change in an object or its environment. Examples of forms of energy: solar, thermal, mechanical (PE and KE), chemical Examples of forms of energy: solar, thermal, mechanical (PE and KE), chemical Physics definition of Energy: the ability to do work Physics definition of Energy: the ability to do work

3 What does work mean to you?  Lifting a weight?  Holding a weight?  Pushing a cart?  Pushing a wall?

4 What does work mean to scientists? Definition: Work is done when a force transfers energy to an object and moves it. Definition: Work is done when a force transfers energy to an object and moves it.  Lifting a weight?  Holding a weight stationary?  Pushing a cart?  Pushing a wall?

6 Symbol: W Symbol: W Equation: W = Fd (force times displacement) Equation: W = Fd (force times displacement) Unit: Joule (J) Unit: Joule (J) One Joule equals one Newtonmeter One Joule equals one Newtonmeter Scalar quantity Scalar quantity Horizontal Work involves applying a force over a distance Horizontal Work involves applying a force over a distance Vertical Work involves lifting your weight (F g =mg) a certain height. Vertical Work involves lifting your weight (F g =mg) a certain height.

7 Rule for calculating work W = Fd=ΔE T W = Fd=ΔE T ΔE T Change in energy ΔE T Change in energy The force must be parallel (horizontal component) to the displacement. The force must be parallel (horizontal component) to the displacement.
