Work The work done by a constant force is defined as the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement.
3
W = Work units of J or Nm or the Joule is named after James Prescott Joule is the angle between the force and the displacement
4
Note that Fcos is the component of the force in the direction of the displacement. If the angle is greater than ninety degrees then the work will be negative (cos .
5
Work is a scalar quantity. Energy is defined as the ability to do work and therefore is a scalar quantity as well. Work can be positive or negative but these signs are not direction. We will see that they indicate a gain of kinetic energy or a loss of kinetic energy respectively.
6
Negative work is done on an object when it is slowed by a force. Positive work is done when an object is sped up by a force. The area under a F-d graph is equal to the work done by an applied force. Assume the force and displacement are colinear.
7
The total work done on an object is the sum of all the work done by individual forces.
8
Rousseau pushes with a force of 500 N on an immovable wall. How much work is done on the wall? David swings a rock around his head with a centripetal force of 250 N. The rock goes around his head 3 times in 0.56 s (the radius of the circle is 0.8 m). What is the work done on the rock?
9
A 4 kg block is raised 5 m. How much work is done on the block? assume constant v
12
This means the work done on the ball is 0 J. note
13
A sled (15 kg) is pulled with a 50 N [20 o ath] force for 7.5 m. The coefficient of friction is 0.21. Calculate the work done by each force and total work done on the sled. 20 o
14
Work done by F N and F g are zero since they are perpendicular to the displacement. Work done by F a
15
To calculate work done by friction we must calculate F N.
16
Work done by F f Therefore the total work done on the sled is 147.6 J
17
WORK ENERGY THEOREM For an object that is accelerated by a constant net force and moves in the same direction...
19
define kinetic energy as (E k) The work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the body.
20
A ball is dropped from rest at a height of 8.25 m. What will be its speed when it hits the ground? (could solve this kinematically but let’s do it using the work-energy theorem. divide by m
21
Therefore the speed of the ball is 12.72 m/s when it hits the ground.
