Can you define 1 Joule? • 1 Joule is the work done when a force of 1 N moves an object through a distance of 1 m in the direction of force.

 • Sometime the object does not move in the direction of the applied

• Sometime the object does not move in the direction of the applied force. F F F Kos s • Since the object is displaced horizontally, the horizontal component of the force is used to calculate the work done by the force. Work done, = ( F cos ) x s

Question 1 1. A gardener push a lawn-mover along a horizontal surface with a force of 40 N through a distance 10 m. What is the work done in pushing the lawn mover?

Questions • How much work is done if a force of 12 N moves

Questions • How much work is done if a force of 12 N moves an object a distance of 5 m? • If you use a 40 N force to lift a bag and do 20 J of work, how far do you lift it? • A 60 kg of boy pushed a wall with 200 N force. How much work has he done?

Work is not always done by a applied force! • A student carrying his

Work is not always done by a applied force! • A student carrying his bag while waiting at the bus stop. Since there is no motion in the direction of the force applied by the student, there will be no displacement in the direction of a force. No work is done by the student on his bag.

Work is not always done by a applied • A waiter is carrying a

Work is not always done by a applied • A waiter is carrying a tray of food and walking The applied force act vertically upwards but the displacement of the tray is in a horizontal direction. Since there is no displacement in the direction of the applied force, no work is done on the tray of food.

Work is not always done by a applied • A spaceship is moving through

Work is not always done by a applied • A spaceship is moving through space with its engine switched off. There is no work is done if an object moves with uniform velocity without the action of any force. There is no force acting on the spaceship in the forward or backward direction. Therefore, no work is done on the spaceship.

Energy transfer when work is done. • • Energy – capacity to do work.

Energy transfer when work is done. • • Energy – capacity to do work. An object that do work has energy. Energy exist in different forms. Can you name the different forms of energy?

Principle of Conservation of energy. • Energy can be changed from one from to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. • The total energy in the universe is constant • When the baby falls, the gravitational potential energy changes to kinetic energy. mgh = ½ mv 2

Power • When a force is applied on an object and there is motion

Power • When a force is applied on an object and there is motion in the direction of the force, work is said to be done by the force. • Power is defined as the rate at which work is done, or the amount of work done per second Power = Work done Time taken P =W t • SI unit – Watt (w)
