Chapter 2 Work

Chapter 2 discusses the concepts of work, energy, and power, defining work as the product of force and displacement, with specific conditions for work to be done. It explains that energy is the capacity to do work and outlines various forms of energy, while power is defined as the rate of doing work. The chapter includes calculations and examples to illustrate these concepts, including a practical example of calculating power.

CHAPTER 2

WORK, ENERGY
AND POWER
PART 1
UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF WORK,
ENERGY AND POWER

1 Define work, energy and power.

2 To understand the concept of work done.

3 To identify when is work said to be done

4 Apply the concept and formula of work, energy and power in


solving the related problems.
WORK OR NO WORK?
 Are the characters in the following doing work?
WHEN IS WORK SAID TO BE DONE?
 For work to be done, two things are needed:
 Force
 The force must make something move i.e. DISPLACEMENT
 No movement means no work, no matter how strong the
force.
 Calculating Work:
Work = Force x Distance W=
It is a Scalar Quantity

 Unit of work = joule (SI system)


joule= newton x metre
1 J = 1 Nm
1J= dyne ×cm
1J= erg where ‘erg’ is the CGS unit of work
WHEN DIRECTION OF FORCE APPLIED AND
DIRECTION DISPLACEMENT ARE NOT SAME

Figure : force and the displacement in different


direction

In this situation, we use: 𝑾 = 𝑭S𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝜭


 Fcosθ is called the component of FORCE in the direction of
DISPLACEMENT.

WORK Some WORK


Summarizing the
cases:
 Work is positive for
This is also called
maximum work done.
 Work is zero for
 Work done is
negative for
This is also called
minimum work done.
CONDITIONS FOR WORK
DONE TO BE ZERO
 When there is no displacement in the body. i.e. S= 0. Then W= F.S= F(0)=0

 When the direction of force applied and direction of displacement are


normal to each other. i.e. Then W= FScos = FS cos90= 0
WHAT ABOUT THE
WORK DONE BY A BODY
IN CIRCULAR MOTION?

It is zero.
Energy is defined as CAPACITY TO DO WORK.

SI Unit : joule (J)

Many forms

Common one:
 Kinetic
 Potential
 Electric
 Chemical
 Solar
 Nuclear
Outcomes:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work OR


Work done per unit time.
SI Unit : watt (W)

The Power of body…..


Strong and Fast…… (Big Force and small times..)
If little Nellie Newton lifts her 40kg body a distance of 0.25m in
2 seconds, then what is the power delivered by little Nellie's biceps?
0.25m
 Solution
• The work done is,

 W=Fxs

 = mg x s

 = 40kg (9.81) x 0.25 m

 = 100 J
P = W
• Hence, the power is T
= 100 J
2s
= 50 watt
