  1. How does it do that? 3.2.1 Introduction to Work & Energy

  2. Definitions • energy: ABILITY TO DO WORK • Unit: JOULE • work: A CHANGE IN TOTAL ENERGY • requires MOTION • Unit: JOULE Equation

  3. Example #1 – No Motion • A student is trying to push a heavy crate across the floor, but it does not move. • Is work being done ‘on the crate’? No, work is NOT being done ‘on the object’ unless it moves.

  4. Example #1 – No Motion • But it feels to the student like energy is being used -- what’s going on? Energy IS being expended and work IS being done, just not ‘on the object’. Work is being done inside the student’s body.

  5. Example #2 – Flat Ground • A box is pushed with a force of 100 newtons across a frictionless surface for a distance of 10 meters. • How much work is done on the box? W = Fd = ΔET W = (100N)(10m) W = 1000 J 100 N 10 m

  6. Example #3 – Incline • A box is pulled up a 3.0 meter long plane that is inclined at 20° using a force of 10 newtons. • How much work is done in moving the box? W = Fd = ΔET W = (10N)(3.0m) W = 30 J 10 N 3.0 m 20°

  7. Example #4 – Force on an Angle • A sled is pulled a horizontal distance of 4.0 meters across a frictionless surface using a force of 15 newtons at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. • How much work is done on the sled? W = Fd cos θ =ΔET W = (15N)(4.0m) cos(30°) W = 52 J 15 N 30° 4.0 m

  8. End of 3.2.1 - PRACTICE
