Work and Energy

This document defines and explains the concepts of work, energy, and power. It states that work is the transfer of energy due to a force applied over a displacement, and is measured in joules. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change and exists in kinetic forms due to motion. Power is defined as the rate of energy transfer and is measured in watts. The document explains the relationships between work, energy, and power using formulas and examples, including how work done on a system changes its kinetic energy according to the work-energy theorem. It concludes with sample problems calculating work, applying the angle of force to a displacement, and determining power from work over time.

DEFINITION 1

1. WORK

2. ENERGY

3. POWER 3
M
WORK
Transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied through a
T
displacement

Unit : Joule
X
Formula : W = FD
W = FDcosθ

W = work (J) / F = force (N) / D = displacement (m)


T
-Work done when displacement occurs
-Component of force parallel to displacement counts toward work

F
ENERGY 1

The ability of a system to produce change in itself or the world


around it
2
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion

Energy due to the motion of a system’s center of mass is called


translational kinetic energy
3
Unit: Joule
Formula: KE = 1/2mv^2
K = kinetic energy (J) / m = mass (kg) / v = velocity (m/s)

4
M
POWER

The rate at which energy is transformed T

Unit: Watt (W)


Formulas:
X

F
M
WORK-ENERGY THEOREM

Work-energy theorem - when work is done on the system, the result T


is a change in the system’s energy

Formula: W = Δ K.E.
X
Through the process of doing work, energy can move between
the external world and the system

If the external world does work on the system, then W is


T
positive and energy of the system increases
If the the system does work on the external world, then W is
negative and energy of the system increases
F
M
THEIR RELATIONSHIPS

WORK AND ENERGY T


- The work done on a system is equal to the change in the
system’s energy.

POWER AND ENERGY


X
- Power is equal to the change in energy divided by the time
required for the change.

POWER AND WORK


- Power is equal to the work done on a system divided by the
T
time required to do the work.

PROBLEM SOLVING 1
Together, 2 students exert a force of 825 N in pushing a car a
distance of 35 m. How much work do the students do on the car?
PROBLEM SOLVING 2
A sailor pulls a boat a distance of 30 m along a dock using a rope
that makes a 25 degree angle with the horizontal. How much
work does the sailor do on the boat if he exerts a force of 255 N
on the rope?
PROBLEM SOLVING 3
A box that weighs 575 N is lifted a distance of 20 m straight up
by a cable attached to a motor. The job is done in 10 sec. What
power is developed by the motor in W
