UNIT 4: WORK, ENERGY & POWER PART I
3
WHAT IS WORK? A force causing displacement Time is not a factor----can be fast or slow Force must be applied in the same direction as the displacement of the object or at some angle theta (Θ) Work = force x displacement x cos Θ If force and displacement are in the same direction then Θ is 0 (W = Fd) Measured in N m or Joules
4
POTENTIAL ENERGY Energy that is stored and waiting to be used later Energy of an object due to its condition or position
5
POTENTIAL ENERGY Potential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object.
6
POTENTIAL ENERGY Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object
7
POTENTIAL ENERGY
8
KINETIC ENERGY Energy resulting from motion of an object. Work must be done to cause an object to be in motion. Work = change in kinetic energy W = ΔKE KE = 1/2 mv 2 (measured in Joules)
9
EXAMPLE A 105-g hockey puck is sliding across the ice. A player exerts a constant force of 4.50-N over a distance of 0.150 m. How much work does the player do? What is the change in the puck’s energy? What is the change in velocity of the puck? W = (4.50 N)(0.150 m) = 0.675 J ΔKE = W = 0.675 J 0.675 J = (0.5)(0.105 kg)v 2 = 3.6 m/s
10
EXAMPLE When a golf club strikes a 46-g golf ball, the ball picks up 43 J of KE. A constant force of 2300 N is applied. Over what distance is the club in contact with the ball? W = Fd d = W/F d = 43 J/ 2300 N = 0.019 m
11
EXAMPLE A sailor pulls a boat a distance of 30.0 m along a dock using a rope that makes a 25° angle with the horizontal. How much work does the sailor do on the boat if exerts a force of 255 N on the rope? W = Fdcos Θ W = (255 N)(30.0 m)(cos 25°) = 6933.3 J
12
EXAMPLE Will N. Andable and Ben Pumpiniron are in the weight room. Will lifts a 100-lb. barbell over his head 10 times in 1 minute while Ben lifts a 100-lb. barbell over his head 10 times in 10 seconds? Which student does the most work? Answer:
13
EXAMPLE Calculate the work done by a 2.0-N force (directed at a 30° angle to the vertical) to move a 500 gram box a horizontal distance of 400 cm across a rough floor at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s.
14
TOTAL MECHANICAL ENERGY
15
POWER Power is the rate at which work is done. Measures how quickly energy is being transferred Power = work/time or P = W/t Measured in Watts (W) which equals J/s 1 horsepower (hp) = 750 W Substituting Fd for W P = Fd/t Substituting v for d/t P = Fv
16
EXAMPLE A net force of 2800 N accelerates a 1250- kg vehicle for 8.0 s. The vehicle travels 80.0 m during this time. What power output does this represent? P = W/t = Fd/t P = (2800 N)(80.0 m)/8.0 s = 28,000 W Can also be expressed in kiloWatts (28 kW)
17
EXAMPLE Remember Will N. Andable and Ben Pumpiniron? Will lifted a 100-lb. barbell over his head 10 times in 1 minute while Ben lifted a 100-lb. barbell over his head 10 times in 10 seconds? Which student delivers the most power?
18
EXAMPLE If Nellie Newton is doing chin-ups during her physical fitness test and lifts her 42- kg body a distance of 0.25 m in 2 seconds, what power is delivered by Nellie’s biceps? F g = mg = (42 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 ) = 411.6 N P = Fd/t = (411.6 N)(0.25 m)/2 s = 51.5 W
19
EXAMPLE A squirrel (mass of 1 kg) does push-ups by applying a force to elevate its body by 5 cm. Determine the number of push-ups a squirrel must complete in order to do 1 Joule of work. If he does them in 4 s, determine his power output. W = Fd = mgd = (1 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 )(0.05 m) = 0.49 J The squirrel must do ____ push-ups. P = W/t = 1.0 J/ 4 s = 0.25 W

SIMPLE MACHINES Eases the load by changing either the magnitude or direction of a force to match the force or capability of the operator. Mechanical advantage (MA) is a ratio of the resistance force (F r ) exerted by the machine to the effort force (F e ) exerted by the operator. MA = F r /F e
21
TYPES OF SIMPLE MACHINES Pulley Inclined Plane Lever Wheel & axle Screw Wedge
22
SIMPLE MACHINES Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is the ratio of the displacement of the effort force (d e ) to the displacement of the load (d r ) IMA = d e /d r In theory, all machines would be 100% efficient….but in reality they are not Efficiency (e) = MA/IMA x 100 or work output divided by the work input [W o /W i x 100]
