1 Chapter 5 Lesson 1

2 Interactive Notebook Title: Work Work= transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move For work to be done, something has to move and the motion must be same direction as force. When work is done, a transfer of energy always occurs

3 Interactive Ntbk Con’t Calculating Work Work(Joules)=Force(Newtons)xDistance(meters) W=Fxd Ex: You push a wheelbarrow with a force of 100N. You moved the wheelbarrow 5m. How much work did you do? W=Fxd W=100N x 5m W=500J

4 Interactive Ntbk Con’t Power=rate at which work is done Calculating Power: Power(Watts)=work(J)/time(s) P=W/t Ex: You do 900J of work pushing a fridge. It took 5 seconds. What was your power? P=W/t = 900J/5s = 180J/s= or 180W(watts)

5 What is work?  To many people, the word work means something they do to earn money.  The word work also means exerting a force with your muscles.  Someone might say they have done work when they push as hard as they can against a wall that doesn't move.

6 Work Makes Something Move  However, in science the word work is used in a different way.  Remember that a force is a push or a pull. In order for work to be done, a force must make something move.  Work is the transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move.

7 Doing work  If you push against the desk and nothing moves, then you haven't done any work.  There are two conditions that have to be satisfied for work to be done on an object.  One is that the applied force must make the object move, and the other is that the movement must be in the same direction as the applied force.

8 Doing work  For example, when you lift a stack of books, your arms apply a force upward and the books move upward. Because the force and distance are in the same direction, your arms have done work on the books.

9 Force and Direction of Motion  When you carry books while walking, you might think that your arms are doing work.  However, in this case, the force exerted by your arms does no work on the books.

10 Force and Direction of Motion  The force exerted by your arms on the books is upward, but the books are moving horizontally.  The force you exert is at right angles to the direction the books are moving.

11 Work and Energy  When work is done, a transfer of energy always occurs.  This is easy to understand when you think about how you feel after carrying a heavy box up a flight of stairs.  You transferred energy from your moving muscles to the box and increased its potential energy by increasing its height.

12 Work and Energy  You may recall that energy is the ability to cause change.  Another way to think of energy is that energy is the ability to do work.  If something has energy, it can transfer energy to another object by doing work on that object.

13 Work and Energy  When you do work on an object, you increase its energy.  The student carrying the box transfers chemical energy in his muscles to the box.  Energy is always transferred from the object that is doing the work to the object on which the work is done.

14 Calculating Work  The amount of work done depends on the amount of force exerted and the distance over which the force is applied.  When a force is exerted and an object moves in the direction of the force, the amount of work done can be calculated as follows. W=f·d

15  Work transfer of energy through motion force exerted through a distance Work W=Fd Distance must be in direction of force! W:work (J) F:force (N) d:distance (m) 1 J = 1 N·m

16 Calculating Work  In this equation, force is measured in newtons and distance is measured in meters.  Work, like energy, is measured in joules.  One joule is about the amount of work required to lift a baseball a vertical distance of 0.7 m.

17 When is work done?  Suppose you give a book a push and it slides along a table for a distance of 1 m before it comes to a stop.  Even though the book moved 1 m, you do work on the book only while your hand is in contact with it.

18 Power  Suppose you and another student are pushing boxes of books up a ramp and load them into a truck.  To make the job more fun, you make a game of it, racing to see who can push a box up the ramp faster.

19 Power  Power is the amount of work done in one second. It is a rate— the rate at which work is done

20 Calculating Power  To calculate power, divide the work done by the time that is required to do the work.  The SI unit for power is the watt (W). One watt equals one joule of work done in one second.

21 Power  Power rate at which work is done measured in watts (W) P:power (W) W:work (J) t:time (s)

22 Power and Energy  Just as power is the rate at which work is done, power is also the rate at which energy is transferred.  When energy is transferred, the power involved can be calculated by dividing the energy transferred by the time needed for the transfer to occur.

23 Work  Sarah exerts a force of 40 N to pick up her child a distance of 2.8 m. How much work is done on her child? GIVEN: W = ? F = 40N D = 2.8m WORK : W = F·d W = (40 N) · (2.8m) W = 112 J F W d

24 Work  Matt uses a force of 1525 N to drive his car a distance of 381 m. How much work is done on his car? GIVEN: W = ? F = 1525N D = 381m WORK : W = F·d W = (1525) · (381m) W = 581025 J F W d

25 Work  Mark uses 27 J of work to carry the laundry basket with a force of 17 N. What is the distance he carried the laundry basket? GIVEN: W = 27 J F = 17N d = ? WORK : d = W / F d = (27 J) ÷ (17 N) d = 1.59 m F W d

26 Power  A figure skater lifts his partner, who weighs 450 N, 1.5 m in 3.0 s. How much power is required? GIVEN: F = 450 N d = 1.5 m t = 3.0 s WORK : P = W ÷ t W = F·d W = (450 N)(1.5 m) = 675 J P = 675 J ÷ 3.0 s P = 225 W P W t
