Work o Work: The word looks the same, but it has different meaning in physics than the way it is normally used in the everyday language

Work W is done when a constant force F is exerted on an object through distance d F θ F Fd θ Fd d o Only the component of force that acts in the same direction as the motion is doing work on the box. o Vertical component is just trying (unsuccessfully) to lift the object up. work = force along distance × the distance moved work = force × distance moved × cos of the angle between them

Units o The SI unit for work is the newton–metre and is called the joule named after the 19 th Century physicist James Prescott Joule. o 1 J (Joule) = 1 N x 1 m o Work is a scalar (add like ordinary numbers)

A force is applied. Question: Is the work done by that force? Work - like studying very hard, trying to lift up the car and getting completely exhausted, holding weights above head for half an hour is no work worth mentioning in physics. o According to the physics definition, you are NOT doing work if you are just holding the weight above your head (no distance moved) o you are doing work only while you are lifting the weight above your head (force in the direction of distance moved)

Who’s doing the work around here? NO WORK o If I carry a box across the room I do not do work on it because the force is not in the direction of the motion (cos 900 = 0)

θ = 00 00< θ <900 θ = 900< θ <1800 cos θ = 1 cos θ = + cos θ = 0 cos θ = – θ = 1800 cos θ = – 1 Work done by a force F is zero if: o force is exerted but no motion is involved: no distance moved, no work o force is perpendicular to the direction of motion (cos 900 = 0) d d F F F motion normal force tension in the string gravitational force

Work done by force F is: o positive when the force and direction of motion are generally in the same directions 00< θ < 900 → cos θ = + cos 0 0 = 1 W = Fd o negative when the force and direction of motion are generally in the opposite directions 900< θ < 1800 → cos θ = – cos 1800 = – 1 W = - Fd (the work done by friction force is always negative)

We do: 1) Is work positive, negative, or zero? a) a book falls off a table b) a rocket accelerates through space 2) Mike is cutting the grass using a human-powered lawn mower. He pushes the mower with a force of 45 N directed at an angle of 41° below the horizontal direction. Calculate the work that Mike does on the mower in pushing it 9. 1 m across the yard

We do: 1) Is work positive, negative, or zero? a) a book falls off a table Postive! The force (gravity) is in the same direction as the motion. b) a rocket accelerates through space Positive! The force (of expelled gasses on the rocket) are in the same direction as the motion.

We do: 2) Mike is cutting the grass using a human-powered lawn mower. He pushes the mower with a force of 45 N directed at an angle of 41° below the horizontal direction. Calculate the work that Mike does on the mower in pushing it 9. 1 m across F = 45 N the yard d 410 F W = Fd cos θ = 310 J d = 9. 1 m θ = 410

You do: 1) Is work positive, negative, or zero? a) A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his head by one arm straight across the room at constant speed. b) friction slows a sliding hockey puck 2) Forward force is 200 N. Friction force is 200 N. The distance moved is 200 km. Find a) the work done by forward force F on the car. b) the work done by friction force Ffr on the car. c) the net work done on the car.

You do: 1) Is work positive, negative, or zero? a) A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his head by one arm straight across the room at constant speed. No work! The force is exerted upward, and the motion is horizontal. b) friction slows a sliding hockey puck Negative work! The force is opposite the motion.

Forward force is 200 N. Friction force is 200 N. The distance moved is 200 km. Find a. the work done by forward force F on the car. b. the work done by friction force Ffr on the car. c. the net work done on the car. F = 200 N a. WF = Fd cos 00 Ffr = 200 N b. Wfr = Ffr d cos 1800 = - 4 x 107 J d = 2 x 105 m c. the net work done on the car means the work done by net force on the car. It can be found as: = 4 x 107 J W = WF + Wfr = 0 or W = Fnet d cos θ = 0 (Fnet = 0)

Work done by a varying force - graphically o W = Fd cos θ applies only when the force is constant. o Force can vary in magnitude or direction during the action. o Examples: 1) rocket moving away from the Earth – force of gravity decreases 2. ) varying force of the golf club on a golf ball, etc … o In these cases, work done is most easily determined graphically.

o o The lady from the first slide is pulling the car for 2 m with force of 160 N at the angle of 60 o , then she gets tired and lowers her arms behind her at an angle of 45 o pulling it now with 170 N for next 2 m. Finally seeing the end of the journey she pulls it horizontally with the force of 40 N for 1 m. Work done by her on the car is: W = (160 N)(cos 60 o)(2 m) +(170 N)(cos 45 o)(2 m) + (40 N)(cos 0 o)(1 m) W = 80 x 2 + 120 x 2 + 40 x 1 = pink area + green area + blue area = 440 J http: //www. kcvs. ca/map/java/applets/work. E nergy/applethelp/lesson. html#1 In general: The area under a Force - distance graph equals the work done by that force

Graphical determination of work: You do A man pushes a shopping cart 6 meters. What is the work done? Find area: (1/2)(2)(1)+(2)(2)+(1/2)(2)(3) = 8 J

Power ◘ Power is the work done in unit time or energy converted in unit time measures how fast work is done or how quickly energy is converted. Units: A 100 W light bulb converts electrical energy to heat and light at the rate of 100 J every second.

Calculate the power of a worker in a supermarket who stacks shelves 1. 5 m high with cartons of orange juice, each of mass 6. 0 kg, at the rate of 30 cartons per minute.

Calculate the power of a worker in a supermarket who stacks shelves 1. 5 m high with cartons of orange juice, each of mass 6. 0 kg, at the rate of 30 cartons per minute. P = 45 W

Efficiency ◘ Efficiency is the ratio of how much work, energy or power we get out of a system compared to how much is put in. ◘ No units ◘ Efficiency can be expressed as percentage by multiplying by 100%. No real machine can ever be 100% efficient, because there will always be some energy lost as heat ◘

A car engine has an efficiency of 20 % and produces an average of 25 k. J of useful work per second. How much energy is converted into heat per second.
