2. Work, Power, and Energy

3. Key Ideas/ Essential Questions
How is work calculated?
What is the relationship between work and power?

4. Everyday Meaning
Which of the following is an example of work: bowling or reading?
A man pushes against a brick wall, which doesn’t move. Is this an example of work?
A student carries her books to class. Is this an example of work?
A woman raises and lowers dumbbells at the gym. Is this an example of work?
A book falls off a table and lands on the floor. Is this an example of work?

5. What is Work?
work: the transfer of energy to an object by the application of a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force
Work is zero when an object is not moving.
Work is measured in joules (J):
1 N • m = 1 J = 1 kg • m2/s2

6. KEY POINT Box moving = force being applied = work being done
Work is ONLY being done while the FORCE is being applied, aka the object must ACCELERATE
Not moving yet = no acceleration = no force = no work
No longer moving= no work

7. What are the effects of work?
#1 – object changes position (aka moves) #2 – object changes velocity (aka accelerates)

8. What is Work? How is work calculated?
Work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance over which the force is applied.
work = force x distance, or W = Fd
The force must be applied in the direction of the object’s motion.
Force
Distance moved

9. Example work Problem
Imagine a father playing with his daughter by lifting her repeatedly in the air. How much work does he do with each lift if he lifts her 2.0 m and exerts an average force of 190 N?
List the given and unknown values.
Given : force, F= 190 N distance, d=2.0m
Unknown: work, W= ? J
Write the equation for work.
Work = force x distance W= F x d
Insert the known values into the equation and solve.
W= 190N x 2.0m = 380 N*m
W= 380 J

10. Independent Practice
A luggage trolley is pushed 20 m up a slope with a force of 50 N in the same direction as the trolley moves. Calculate the work done.
List the given and unknown values.
Given : force, F= 50 N distance, d=20m
Unkown: work, W= ? J
Write the equation for work.
Work = force x distance W= F x d
Insert the known values into the equation and solve.
W= 50N x 20m = 1000 N*m
W= 1000 J

11. Work Mini-Lab
Purpose: To determine how arm length affects the total work done when lifting an object repeatedly.
Hypothesis:
Pre-Lab Questions:
What is the equation used to find the amount of work done?
If you curl (exercise) an object, what distance would you use to find the work done?
If you know the mass of an object, how can you determine what force will be needed in order to lift that object?

12. Measuring Your work Procedure
Choose an item that your group will lift. (must be under 500g)
Using the triple beam balance, find the mass of the object in grams. Then convert the mass into kg.
Using the equation for weight, w=mg, calculate the force you will be using to lift the object.
Measure and record the distance the object will be lifted.
Calculate the work required for one lift.
Count the number of lifts each person can make in 30 seconds.
Calculate the total work done by each team member.

What is the power of a motor that does 5000 J of work in 30 s?

17. Power
power: a quantity that measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed
Power is measured in watts (W):
1 W = 1 J/s

18. How much time it takes to do a certain amount of work
What is power?
How much time it takes to do a certain amount of work

19. Both the rock climber and the hiker are going to the same place, so they are doing the same amount of WORK
However, it will probably take the rock climber a lot longer to get there, meaning that her POWER is much lower

20. Power What is the relationship between work and power?
Power is the rate at which work is done, or how much work is done in a given amount of time.

21. Example Power Problem

Unkown: power, P= ? W
Write the equation for power.
Power= work / time P= W/t
Insert the known values into the equation and solve.
P= J / 20s= 5000 J/s
