2. Comprehension Check 1.What is the impulse given to a golf ball of mass 45.9g if it starts at rest and attains a final velocity of 35m/s? 2.If the golf ball in problem 1 was in contact with the golf club for 0.027s, what force acted on the golf ball? 3.If there is no acceleration is there momentum? Is there impulse? 4.Suppose that a 75.0kg goalkeeper catches a 0.40 kg ball moving at 32m/s. With what forward velocity must the goalkeeper jump when she catches the ball so that she and the ball have zero horizontal velocity?

4. Work  In common language, work can mean a variety of different things, however when we describe work from a scientific standpoint, work has a very precise definition  This means we must be careful not to confuse work as used in the English language and the work we will determine in physics

5. Work  Work is the transfer of mechanical energy (total kinetic and potential energy). We will learn more about energy soon!  In English, we can do work if we sit at our desks and mark papers or write an essay. In physics, we can only do work if we move/are displaced! Sitting at your desk does not count as physics work.

6. Work and Energy  We haven’t talked about energy yet but we will connect these two concepts in the very near future.  Work causes an object to gain energy. Example: If you lift a dumbbell above your head, you move the dumbbell. You also give the dumbbell POTENTIAL ENERGY (as now it has the potential to fall).

7. Work  If you use force on an object but it moves in a different direction than the force, no work is done.

8. Work – Summary Slide  Work is the transfer of mechanical energy (total kinetic and potential energy).  Work is done only if an object moves.  When work is on an object, that object gains energy  Work is only done on an object when the force and displacement are in the same direction.

9. Work (copy)  Symbol = W  Units: Joule (J)  1 J = 1 Nm  Work is a scalar***

10. Zero Work Conditions  How can we make work equal zero?  1) Apply a force that does not cause motion  Example: Holding an object at the same height for hours is not doing any work - you may get tired but you are doing no work on the object.

11. Zero Work Conditions  2) Uniform motion in the absence of a net force  Example: If an object is already in motion, it will continue in that same motion (Newton’s First Law). If a hockey puck is sliding across the ice at a constant speed, no work is being done.

12. Zero Work Conditions  3) Applying a force that is perpendicular to the motion  Example: You are carrying a book down the hallway. You are lifting the book (force is upwards) but your motion is forwards (perpendicular). Therefore there is no work being done on the textbook by the person once you are moving.

13. What about this situation… work or no work? Complete with partner. Be prepared to share!  A) If you are pushing a grocery cart through the store.  B) If you are pushing a car and it is going forward?  C) “” going backward?  D) “” not moving?  E) If you are driving forward on cruise control  F) Swinging a ball on a rope in a circle

14. a) Yes – moving the cart, force is pushing the cart in the same direction Yes – force is in same direction Yes since the car is moving in a direction opposite this is called “negative work” (discuss more later) No work done as car is not moving No work done as car is moving at constant speed (so no net force) No work as the string’s tension force acts in a direction perpendicular to the ball

15. Zero Work Conditions Summary Slide  3 cases:  1) A force is used but causes no displacement Example: Doing a wall squat for 2 minutes  2) No acceleration Therefore no force Example: Something that is displaced at a constant velocity  3) Force is perpendicular to the displacement Example: Walking with a book in your hands, the book has no work done on it as the force is upward and the displacement is direction of walking.

16. Example 1: (page 220)  A student is rearranging her room. She decides to move her desk across the room a distance of 3.00m. She moves the desk at a constant velocity by exerting a horizontal force of 200N. Calculate the amount of work done on the desk by the student.

17.  W = Fd  W = 200 x 3  W = 600 J

18. Comprehension Check 1.How much work is done if you push on a wall with 3500N but the wall does not move? 2.How much work is done by you on the book if you are carrying the book down the hall at constant velocity? 3.How much work is done by you if you push a box that has a mass of 50kg down the hallway 45m with a force of 25N?  Page 221, questions 1, 2, 3

19. Comprehension Check 1.0 2.0 3.W = Fd = 25 x 45 =1125 N = 1200N

21. Example 2:  An applied force of 20. N accelerates a block across a level, frictionless surface from rest to a velocity of 8.0 m/s in a time of 2.5 s.  Calculate the work done by this force.

22. Practice Problems  Page 225 4-10

23. Work at an Angle  Remember, work is done if a force is exerted in the direction of motion.  If you are pushing or pulling something at an angle, only the component that acts in the direction of motion is doing work.  W = F d cos Θ

24. Example 3:  A person is doing work on the lawn mower by pushing with 105N it at an angle of 40° to the horizontal. If the person pushes the mower for 5.00m, how much work is being done on the mower? WHAT EQUATION DO WE USE? WHY?  W = F d cos Θ  We use this equation because the handle on the lawn mower is at an angle so we only need the Fx value (cos).  W = (105)(5)cos40 =

25. Practice Problems 1.If you pull a crate with a force of 550N at an angle of 35° to the horizontal and it moves 25m horizontally, how much work was done? (1.1x10 4 J)  Page 235, questions 16, 17

27. Estimating Work from a Graph

28. Positive and Negative Work  When we consider work it is a scalar so lacks direction  How is it possible to have positive and negative work?

29. Positive and Negative Work  Positive work occurs when the angle between the force and displacement is 0°- 90°  “Negative work” occurs when the angle between the force and displacement is 90°-180° F d F d

30. The Meaning of Negative Work  On occasion, a force acts upon a moving object to hinder a displacement.  Examples might include a car skidding to a stop on a roadway surface or a baseball runner sliding to a stop on the infield dirt.  In such instances, the force acts in the direction opposite the objects motion in order to slow it down. The force doesn't cause the displacement but rather hinders it.

31. Negative and Positive Work Summary  Positive work occurs when the angle between the force and displacement is 0°- 90°  “Negative work” occurs when the angle between the force and displacement is 90°- 180°. Force acts in a direction opposite to the displacement.  Negative work means that the force is hindering the displacement (like frictional forces)

32. Example:  Imagine a weight lifter. She must lift the bar- bell up and then lower it down.  Overall how much work has she done when she lifts the bar and then lowers to the same spot?  How much work does she do on the lifting part?  How much work does she do on the lowering part?  Overall, she has done NO WORK but she has done positive work when she lifts the bar-bell and negative work (the same amount) to lower it.
