1. Work & Power NOTES

2. Define / Describe WORK Work is the transfer of Energy that occurs when a force makes an object move. Work happens when a force moves an object over a distance. If the object does not move, NO work is done!

3. IMPORTANT Work is the transfer of energy. –If work is done on an object its energy will INCREASE –If work is done by an object its energy will DECREASE If you are given an amount of work, you also know the amount of energy that has moved

4. Two things must happen for work to be done. What are they? A force must be applied to an object The object must move in the same direction as the force.

5. Wrap –UP #1:Is work being done? 1.Lifting a spoonful of soup to your mouth. 2.Holding a stack of books motionless over your head 3.Letting a pencil fall to the ground. 4.A person shovels snow off a sidewalk. 5.A person carries a bundle of bricks across a construction site.

6. 1.Lifting a spoonful of soup to your mouth. Yes 2.Holding a stack of books motionless over your head NO- no distance 3.Letting a pencil fall to the ground. YES- by gravity 4.A person shovels snow off a sidewalk. YES 5.A person carries a bundle of bricks across a construction site. NO- arms don’t move Wrap –UP #1:Is work being done?

7. Work Formula & SI Units Work = Force x Distance W = F x d Force: Newton (N) Distance: meter (m) Work: Joule (J) 1 J = 1 N ·m W F d

8. 1. W=20J force=? d=2m 2. work=? F= 10N d= 500m 3.W=5000J F= 500N distance=?

9. 1. W=20J force=? d=2m F = W/d = 20J/2m = 10 N 2. work=? F= 10N d= 500m 3.W=5000J F= 500N distance=?

10. 1. W=20J force=? d=2m F = W/d = 20J/2m = 10 N 2. work=? F= 10N d= 500m W = F x d = 10 N x 500 m = 5000 J 3.W=5000J F= 500N distance=?

11. 1. W=20J force=? d=2m F = W/d = 20J/2m = 10 N 2. work=? F= 10N d= 500m W = F x d = 10 N x 500 m = 5000 J 3.W=5000J F= 500N distance=? d = W/F = 5000J/ 500N = 10 m

12. Wrap-Up #2: Sample Calculation A father lifts his daughter 2.0 m and exerts a force of 190 N. How much work does he do?

13. F = 190 N D = 2.0 m W = F x d = 190 N x 2.0 m W = 380 J Wrap-Up #2: Sample Calculation

14. Power Power is the rate of doing work. –How much work is done in a certain amount of time Power = Work time

15. P = W t Work: Joule (J) Time : seconds (s) Power: Watt (W) 1 Watt = 1 J/s W P t

16. 1.P = 200 W W=2000 J t=? 2.P =15 W Work= ? t= 10 sec 3.P= ? W= 56 J t= 2 sec

17. 1.P = 200 W W=2000 J t=? t = W/P = 2000J/200W = 10 sec 2.P =15 W Work= ? t= 10 sec 3.P= ? W= 56 J t= 2 sec

18. 1.P = 200 W W=2000 J t=? t = W/P = 2000J/200W = 10 sec 2.P =15 W Work= ? t= 10 sec W = P x t = 15 W x 10 sec = 150 J 3.P= ? W= 56 J t= 2 sec

19. 1.P = 200 W W=2000 J t=? t = W/P = 2000J/200W = 10 sec 2.P =15 W Work= ? t= 10 sec W = P x t = 15 W x 10 sec = 150 J 3.P= ? W= 56 J t= 2 sec P = W/t = 56 J/ 2 sec = 28 W

20. Wrap-Up #3: Power Calculation It takes 3, 150 Joules of work to move a refrigerator. If this is done in 5 minutes, how much power was used to move the refrigerator?

21. W= 3, 150 J t= 5 min x 60s = 300 s P = W/ t = 3150 J/ 300 s = 10.5 Watts Wrap-Up #3: Power Calculation

22. Suppose two students are asked to unpack identical cartons of books. One student completes the job in ten minutes, while the other takes twenty minutes. –Which student did more work? –Which student used more power?

23. Suppose two students are asked to unpack identical cartons of books. One student completes the job in ten minutes, while the other takes twenty minutes. –Which student did more work? Both students did the same amount of work –Which student used more power?

24. Suppose two students are asked to unpack identical cartons of books. One student completes the job in ten minutes, while the other takes twenty minutes. –Which student did more work? Both students did the same amount of work –Which student used more power? The one who finished in ten minutes
