2 Work WORK is done only if a force F causes an object to move a distance D. WORK = F  D The units for work are Newton- meters (Nm) or Joules (J). 1 Nm = 1 J

3 Power James Watt, Englishman in the 1700’s, who needed a term to distinguish a “good” steam engine from a “bad” engine. Difference was time to do work. POWER is the rate of doing work. POWER = WORK/TIME The units for power are J/s or watts (W) 1 J/s = 1 W

4 Example Problems You exert a 100 N force to move a box 3 m in 4 seconds. How much work did you do on the box? What was your Power Output? W=300 J P=75 W 100 N Box 3 meters in 4 seconds

5 An electric pump lifts 5000 N of water from the bottom of a 6 m deep well in 1 minute. W=30,000 J P=500 W

6 Volunteer… Things to Ponder… If you push on the wall for 5 hours, then do you do any work on the wall? If you drop a book, is work done on the book as it falls? Two Volunteers… Who did more work? Who had the larger power output?

7 Harvard Step Test Teacher intro and safety demonstration (proper technique for stepping) Work done in 1 minute in the HST: W = F  d Force = weight in pounds converted to Newtons using 1 lb = 4.448 N d = convert # of reps to meters Answer will be in Joules Power output: P = W/(60 seconds)

8 Post Mini Lab Questions Calculate the work you performed. Determine your power output. How many 150 W light bulbs could you keep burning? How many people like you would it take to match the power output of a 100 horsepower engine? (1 hp = 745.7 W) How many horsepower are you worth? Electric energy (work) is selling for about $.07 per kilowatt-hour. How much was your activity worth?

9 Discussion Question Even 100 hp would make a pretty weak engine, so how do we get so much power from our cars? Where does this energy come from? Additional facts: U-235 fission bomb (Hiroshima) - 6.5*1016 kW Hydrogen fusion bomb - 4.9*1019 kW the Sun - 3.3*1023 kW

10 Energy The capacity to do work Three Main Types Kinetic Energy Potential Energy “Other”RadiantThermalInternal Over a field

11 Kinetic Energy Energy due to Motion KE = (1/2)mv 2 m = mass of the object in motion v = velocity of the object Example #1: 10 m/sKE = ?? 1000 kg Example #2: 20 m/sKE = ?? 1000 kg

12 Potential Energy Stored Energy Types Gravitational energy ~energy due to position PE = mgh m = mass of object g = acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s2) h = height of the object above some arbitrary point Chemical energy~ an example is the energy in gasoline, which is due to the position of atoms in gasoline molecules- Mechanical PE~ like a compressed string, or a stretched bow & arrow Electromagnetic PE~ for example, magnetic attraction and static cling
