8 Formula for work Work = _________ x Distance The unit of work is newton x meters One ____________ is equal to one ______ So, the unit of work is a __________ J= 1 N x m = 1 kg x m 2 /s 2
9
9 W=FD Work = Force x Distance Calculate: If a man pushes a concrete block 10 meters with a force of 20 N, how much work has he done?
10
10 W=FD Work = Force x Distance Calculate: If a man pushes a concrete block 10 meters with a force of 20 N, how much work has he done? 200 joules (W = 20N x 10m)
11
11 Power Power is the __________ at which work is done. Power = Work * /Time or P= W/t The unit of power is the watt. 1 watt= ______________

Math Practice 1. A crane use an average force of 5300 N to lift a girder 25 m. How much work does the crane do on the girder? 2. Aylssa powerlifts Kyle over her head 1 m with a force of 250 N. How much work was done? 3. While rowing in a race, John uses his arms to exert a force of 165 N per stroke while pulling the oar 0.800 m. How much work does he do in 30 strokes? 14
15
Math Practice 4. While rowing in a race, John does 3960 J of work on the oars in 60.0 s. What is his output in watts. 5. Steve using a jack does 4320 J of work to lift a car 1.5 m in 100.0 s. What is the power output? 6. Mr. Farrell walks up the stairs on his way to make copies. He weight 622 Newtons and the stairs go 5.75 vertically. a. Calculate my output if I climb the stairs in 8.9s. b. What is I climb the stairs in 7.2 s? 15
