1. Work, Energy and Power

2. No work done if object doesn’t move.
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Work:
Work is done on an object whenever a force is exerted on an object through some distance.
If the force is constant and parallel to the direction of movement then:
W = F d
W = 0, if d = 0
No work done if object doesn’t move.
W = 0, if F = 0
No work done, whenever there is no force.

3. Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Work is done on an object whenever a force is exerted on an object through some distance.
If the force is constant and parallel to the direction of movement then:
W = F d
W = 0, if
F is perpendicular to d

4. Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Examples:
A person pushes with a 40 lb force for a distance of 100 ft. How much work was done?
W = F d
W = ( 40 lb ) ( 100 ft )
W = ft lb

5. Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Examples:
A person pushes with a 110 N force for a distance of 30 m. How much work was done?
W = F d
W = ( 110 N ) ( 30 m )
W = N m or
W = J
1 Joule (J) = 1 N m

6. Energy is something that an object possesses.
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Energy:
Energy is something that an object possesses.
The amount of energy that an object contains, is a measure of how much work it is capable of doing.
Energy can be thought of as stored work (and it has the same units as work).
There are many types of energy:
Kinetic Energy: A moving object is capable of doing work due to it’s motion.
This amount of work is called the object’s kinetic energy and it has a specific size: 1
E = mv 2 K 2

7. What is the KE of 100 kg of water moving at 1.2 m/sec?
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Example:
What is the KE of 100 kg of water moving at 1.2 m/sec? 1 2
E = mv K 2 1 2
E = ( 100 kg ) ( 1.2 m/s ) K 2 1 2 2
E = ( 100 kg ) ( 1.44 m /s ) K 2 2 2
E = ( kg m )/s K
E = J K

8. Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Types of energy:
Potential Energy: An object may be capable of doing work by virtue of its position relative to other objects.
E = m g h P

10. The kinetic energy increases dramatically with increasing speed.
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power 1 2
Kinetic Energy Fact:
E = mv K 2
The kinetic energy increases dramatically with increasing speed.
If ‘v’ doubles, then KE will increase by 4 times.
If ‘v’ triples, then KE will increase by 9 times.
If ‘v’ quadruples, then KE will increase by 16 times.

13. The energy content of 29 mi/hr air is the same as 1 mi/hr water.
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power 1 2
Kinetic Energy Fact:
E = mv K 2
The energy content of 29 mi/hr air is the same as 1 mi/hr water.
29 mi/hr air = mi/hr water
58 mi/hr air = mi/hr water
87 mi/hr air = mi/hr water
. . .
145 mi/hr air = mi/hr water

17. This can be converted to food calories:
Chapter 4 – Work, Energy and Power
Examples:
How much work is required to lift a 200 N weight a distance of 0.5 m, a total of 40 times.
1 time: W = F d = (200 N) (0.5 m) = 100 J
40 times: W40 = 40 x W1 = (40) (100 J) = J
This can be converted to food calories:
1 Calorie
4000 J
= Calorie
4200 J

18. This can be converted to food calories:

However, the human body is only about 4% efficient, so to do 1 Cal. of work uses about 25 Cal. of food.
