1 Work Work is done when a force is exerted on an object and the object moves a distance x. Work = force ·distance W = F · d units: N·m = Joule Work is a scalar quantity. For work to be done, Force exerted must be in same linear plane as distance.

2 Work When you hold something, are you exerting a force on the object?
When you hold something, are you doing work? If you set the object on a table, does the table exert a force on the object? Does the table do any work? Yes. No. Yes. No. When you hold something, then, you are not doing work either.

3 Work

4 Work Work is only done by a force on an object if the force causes the object to move in the direction of the force.

5 Work When a force is applied at an angle, use the component
of the force in the direction of motion. W = Fcosq(Dx)

6 Work Example 5A p.169

7 POWER P = W/t = FDd/t = Fv Power: the rate at which work is done.
Unit: J/s = W (watt) 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 W 1 horsepower (hp) = 746 watts Horsepower (hp): power produced by a typical British working horse.
