Introductory Message

Welcome to Applied Physics!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of

the Schools Division of Aklan and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and
responsible adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to
12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed

to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time
using the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the
learners in acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for
productivity and employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Applied Physics Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner.
This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Applied Physics Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue

learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with
meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an
active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform
the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your
facilitator on the agreed schedule.

WORK

Learning Competency with Code

1. Give examples of how energy is transferred.
2. Show the relationship between work and energy.
3. Calculate the amount of energy transferred in one body when work is done on
it.

Background Information for Learners

When you push against a wall, nothing happens. You have applied a force,
but the wall has not yielded and shows no effect. On the other hand, when you apply
exactly the same force to a ball, the ball flies through the air for some distance. What
is the difference between the two situations? The distance of the body while the
force acted on it was what made the differences.

In Science, work is accomplished if a force is able to move an object. You

may exert a force on an object but if the object does not move, you have not done
any work. But it is not enough that you make the object move. Work is done on an
object only if the object moves in the same direction as the force.

If you hold a pail of water for an hour, you may get tired but you do no work
on the pail. Even if you carry the pail of water at constant velocity, you do no work on
it. The force you exert is upward while the motion is sideways. Work is the product of
the force exerted on an object and the distance the objects moves in the direction of
the force, in equation form,
W = Fd
where W is the work, F is the magnitude of force and d is the magnitude of distance
in the direction of the force. The SI unit of work is joule, If a force of one newton (1N)
moves an object one meter (1m), one joule (1J) of work is done.

What if a force is exerted at some other angle to the motion? If you pull a box
using a rope, the force applied is at a certain angle with the horizontal. The force
applied has two components, horizontal and vertical. The vertical component is
perpendicular to the motion, thus it does no work. The horizontal component does
work since it is in the same direction as the motion. The equation for work done by
the force along the horizontal becomes
W = ( Fcosθ)d or W = Fd cosθ

If an object is lifted above the ground, the force needed to move it is equal to
the weight of the object. The work done in this case equals the weight (mg) times
vertical distance (h). In symbols,
W= mgh

Retrieved from https://devonascience.weebly.com/forces.html

The force needed to move an object on the floor depends on the weight of the
object and the coefficient of friction between the object and the floor. In equation, the
work done is
W = µFNd
where W is work, µ is the coefficient of friction, F N is the normal force of the floor to
an object and d is the distance.
 If the box you lifted onto a shelf falls, it can do work; it might exert forces that
crush another object. If the box is on a cart, and you push on it, you will start it
moving. Again, the box could exert forces that crush another object. In this case too,
you have given a box the box energy-the ability to produce a change in itself ot its
surroundings. By doing work on the box, you have transferred energy from your body
to the box. Thus, we can say that work is the transfer of energy by mechanical
means.

Directions / Instructions
1. Use the activity sheet with care.
2. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
3. Observe honesty and integrity in doing/performing the tasks and checking
your answers.
4. Kindly use separate sheets/papers for your answers.

Exercises / Activities

ACTIVITY 1
Direction: Indicate whether or not the following represent examples of work. Justify
your answer. Write your answer in a separate sheet.
1. A man carrying a sack of rice on his shoulder while walking across the
ground.
2. A man climbing a tree while holding a basket.
3. A boy running across a playground while carrying his ball.
4. A student pushing a table across the floor.
5. A mother dancing with a baby on her arms.
6. A girl picking up candy wrappers from the ground to trash bin.
7. A driver became exhausted in pushing his jeep stuck in a mud.
8. A waiter carrying a tray full of meals across a dining room at a constant
speed.
9. A rolling ball hits a can and moves it across the table.
10.A girl carrying a bag of groceries up to the second floor of the supermarket.

ACTIVITY 2
Direction: Enumerate 5 examples of your daily activities and identify if you perform
work or none in doing such activities. Explain your answer.

ACTIVITY 3
Direction: Solve the following problems. Show your solution. Write your answer in a
separate sheet of paper.

1. A sailor pulls a boat along a dock using a rope at an angle of 50 ○ with the
horizontal. How much work is done by the sailor if he exerts a force of 260N
on the rope and pulls the boat at 35m?
 2. A girl carries a 180N basket of fruits up stairs, a distance of 4.2m vertically
and 4.8m horizontally. How much work does the girl perform?

3. The amount of work done in lifting a book up to the top of cabinet is 25J. What
is the mass of the book if the height of the cabinet is 1.8m above the floor?

4. How far must an object move in order for a 26N force to perform 340J of work
if the angle between the force and distance is 2˚?

5. A man pushes a wooden box exerting a force of 15N at a distance of 10.5m

on a horizontal floor. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the
floor is 0.8, how much work is done?
