Work, Energy, and Power
What is energy? • Energy – the ability to do work. • Every source of energy you can think of fits the above definition. List three: • 1) __sunlight___ • 2) __heat____ • 3) __food_____
Work • • What is work? Work – Definition has 2 parts in physics. 1) A force must have been exerted. 2) The object being worked on must have moved or changed.
• If I push the wall as hard as I can, is work being done to the wall? • No. • Thought process: • Did the wall move? Did the wall change? • If the answer to both of those is “no”, then no work was done.
• If I push a desk around, was work done to the desk? Yes • If you sit in your desk to take a quiz, is work being done to the desk? No • If you squeeze a ball of play-doh, was work done to the play-doh? Yes • If you fold a piece of paper on the desk, was work done to the paper? Yes To the desk? No
• • • There are 2 formulas for calculating work. The first formula: W = F x d W = work F = Force D = displacement. Remember, the “W” is big, because little “w” means “weight. ”
• Force x displacement in units would be Newtons x Meters • The Joule (J) is N x m. • Joule is our unit for work.
• THE CATCH!!!!! • The force and displacement in the formula have to be in the same direction.
• Is work done to the box when it’s pushed along the table? Yes • Is work done to the box when it’s picked up? Yes • Is work done to the box if I hold it? No • Is work done to the box if I hold it and walk to the left? No
• The SECOND formula for Work is: • W = m x g x h. • W = work, m = mass, g = gravity, h = height. • Part of this formula is m x g. What was m x g the formula for? weight • So this formula can also be written as: • W = w x h.
• W = F x d is for “mechanical work. ” • Mechanical work is the work done by machines. • W = m x g x h is for “work against gravity. ” • This is work done whenever the object is moved upwards, or against gravity.
Power • We compare strengths of work by comparing it’s Power. • We abbreviate this with a capital “P. ”
• Your formula for calculating Power is • P=W • T • Powers often compare different objects. • Example: Power for cars is measured in horsepower.
Inclined Plane • An inclined plane is a ramp that connects a upper level (usually the ground) to an lower level. • In fancy physics words, inclined planes turn work against gravity into mechanical work.
• The W = F x d (mechanical work) is the work done by pulling/pushing something up the ramp. • The W = m x g x h (or W = w x h, work against gravity) would be done by lifting something without the ramp.
• The mechanical work will ALWAYS equal the work against gravity in the calculations.
For the Lab • What were you doing work against when you were walking up and down the stairs?
Energy • Energy is the ability to do work. • That means energy causes forces that cause movement or change.
Work-Energy Theorem • BUT when work is done to matter it creates energy! • So energy creates work, and work creates energy. • This is called the work-energy Theorem.
• Because of theorem, both work and energy are measured in Joules. • An machine that creates mechanical work from energy is a motor. • An machine that creates energy from mechanical work is a generator.
Different Types of Energy! • Kinetic energy is energy from things in motion. • Potential energy is energy that’s being stored from objects at rest. • There are different types of these energies, too! Lets draw them!
Translational Kinetic Energy (KE) • Energy from motion.
Rotational KE • Energy from spinning.
Vibrational KE • Energy from vibrating.
Mechanical KE • Energy from gears moving or mechanical pieces working together.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) • The energy something has before it falls.
Elastic PE • The energy something has when stretched out to go back to the way it was.
Chemical PE • The energy chemicals have to react.
Other forms of energy! Electricity • Electricity, like what’s from your plugs or lightning.
Thermal • Heat
Radiant • Light (like sunlight)
Nuclear • Energy from a nuclear chemical reaction, caused by fusion or fission.
To Calculate GPE • • • GPE = m x g x h. GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy m = mass g = gravity h = height This is the same formula as the work against gravity formula!
Calculating Translational Kinetic Energy • TKE = ½ m x v 2 • m = mass • v = velocity
Law of Conservation of Energy • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. • Energy can go back and forth between potential and kinetic, but the total amount of energy will always be the same. • So when asked to find the total energy add all the numbers.
• 99. 9% of energy for earth comes from sunlight. That causes all the wind, weather, ocean currents, photosynthesis, and the processes by which we get fossil fuels. Only. 1% of earth’s energy comes from geothermal heat/volcanos, or earth’s rotation.
