Work!!
2
Take 5…. With your partner, write a definition for work. Examples: 1) 2) Be prepared to share…
3
Who’s doing more work?
4
Worksheet time! Complete the first half of the worksheet…. You have approximately 10 mins…
5
Who’s doing more work?
6
Defining Work Okay….so what is work? – Product of force AND displacement – Conditions for work: A force must be applied. The force has to make the object move in the direction of the applied force Examples: 1) 2)
7
Formula Time!! Work = Force x Distance – (J=F*d) Force = work / distance –(F = w/d) Distance = work / Force – (d = w/F)
8
UNITS Force : Newton (N) – A newton is the force required to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at 1 meter/second 2. Displacement: Meters (m) Work: Joule (J) – A Joule is a force of 1 Newton exerted through a distance of 1 meter does one joule of work, or in other words, J = N x m.
9
What is the direction of force? What is the direction of the motion? Any force that does not act in the direction of motion does no work on an object… 70 N40 N 30 N Direction of motion
10
A boy is pushing a rock with a force of 45 Newtons. The rock doesn’t move. How much work has the boy in the figure done? Work = F x d45 N x 0 m = 0 J
11
A boy pushed a shopping cart a distance of 3 meters doing 15 J of work. How much force has the boy applied? F=w/d15J/3m= 5N
12
Objective 1.Compare the direction of the object’s motion to the direction of the applied force 2.Describe the distance when no work is done 3.Calculate work, force and distance given two of the three
13
Did we meet the objectives? 1.If you exert a force of 10.0 N to lift a box a distance of 0.9 m, how much work do you do? a. 0.1 J b. 9.0 J c. 10.9 J d. 90.0 J
14
Did we meet the objectives? 2. In the movie Independence Day, Will Smith drags an alien across the dessert. True or False all of the force (in this case the force is diagonal) Will is applying to drag the alien does work.
15
Did we meet the objectives? 3) Which of the following is true? a) only the x axis component (part) of a force does work b) motion is in the direction of applied force c) both a & b d) none of the above
16
Did we meet the objectives? 4) Which of the following statements are true a)A weight lifter does a lot of work because the barbell is heavy! b)The weight lifter does a lot of work because I said so c)The weight lifter does no work because there is no distance d)Idk
