5 What is work? In science, the word work has a different meaning than you may be familiar with.
6
WORK Work is the using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.) 6

7 Work or Not? According to the scientific definition, what is work and what is not? a teacher lecturing to her class a teacher lecturing to her classOR a mouse pushing a piece of cheese with its nose across the floor a mouse pushing a piece of cheese with its nose across the floor

10 What’s work? A scientist delivers a speech to an audience of his peers. A body builder lifts 350 pounds above his head. A mother carries her baby. A father pushes a baby in a carriage. A woman carries a 20 kg grocery bag.
11
11 Formula for work Work = Force x Distance The unit of force is Newtons The unit of distance is meters The unit of work is newton-meters One newton-meter is equal to one joule So, the unit of work is a Joule
12
12 CFU: W=FD Work = Force x Distance Calculate: If a Kevin pushes a concrete block 10 meters with a force of 20 N, how much work has he done?
13
CFU: #2 If Mr. Beavers pushes a technology cart to the media center 20 meters away with a force of 50 N, how much work has he done? 13
14
CFU #3 If a train pulls a cargo with a force of 20,000 N for 1000 m, what work was done? 14
15
15 Power Power is the rate at which work is done. Power = Work * /Time * (force x distance) The unit of power is the watt.
16
Finally, Mechanical Advantage… In work, you often use machines to make the work easier. Machine have: input force (the force you apply) input force (the force you apply) output force (force which is applied to the task) output force (force which is applied to the task) A Mechanical Advantage occurs when in the Input Force is less than the output force. 16
17
Mechanical Advantage The greater the mechanical advantage, the more effective the machine is because YOU are not having to work as hard. 17

EXIT TICKET How much work would it take to push a box with a force of 60N for 100 meters? 18
