Work and Power

Work Work happens when a force moves an object over a distance Work happens when a force moves an object over a distance If the object does not move, no work is done If the object does not move, no work is done For work to be done, the direction of the applied force must be the same as the direction of the motion For work to be done, the direction of the applied force must be the same as the direction of the motion
3
Work You lift a bag of groceries You lift a bag of groceries from the trunk of your car Is work being done? Is work being done? You are using force to lift You are using force to lift the bag of groceries, and the force is in the direction of the motion
4
Work You carry a bag of groceries You carry a bag of groceries from the car to the kitchen Is work being done? Is work being done? You are using force to carry You are using force to carry the groceries Is the force being applied in the direction of the motion? Is the force being applied in the direction of the motion?

Calculating Work Work = force x distance moved Work = force x distance moved W=FΔd (on your reference table!) W=FΔd (on your reference table!) Units of work are N·m, Units of work are N·m, Also known as the joule Also known as the joule Abbreviated J Abbreviated J Set up the triangle! Set up the triangle!
