  1. Work and Power

  2. What is work? • In science, the word work has a different meaning than you may be familiar with. • The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)

  3. Work or Not? • According to the scientific definition, what is work and what is not? • a teacher lecturing to her class • a mouse pushing a piece of cheese with its nose across the floor

  4. Work or Not? • According to the scientific definition, what is work and what is not? • a teacher lecturing to her class • a mouse pushing a piece of cheese with its nose across the floor

  5. What’s work? • A scientist delivers a speech to an audience of his peers. • A body builder lifts 350 pounds above his head. • A mother carries her baby from room to room. • A father pushes a baby in a carriage. • A woman carries a 20 kg grocery bag to her car?

  6. What’s work? • A scientist delivers a speech to an audience of his peers. No • A body builder lifts 350 pounds above his head. Yes • A mother carries her baby from room to room. No • A father pushes a baby in a carriage. Yes • A woman carries a 20 km grocery bag to her car? No

  8. Formula for work Work = Force x Distance • The unit of force is the newton • The unit of distance is the meter • The unit of work is the newton-meter • One newton-meter is equal to one joule • So, the unit of work is a joule W F D

  9. Important to Remember…. • For work to happen the force has to be applied in the SAME direction as the motion.

  10. W=FD Work = Force x Distance Calculate: If a man pushes a concrete block 10 meters with a force of 20 N, how much work has he done?

  11. W=FD Work = Force x Distance Calculate: If a man pushes a concrete block 10 meters with a force of 20 N, how much work has he done? 200 joules (W = 20N x 10m)

  12. Power • Power is the rate at which work is done. • Power = Work/Time OR • Power = (Force x Distance)/Time • The unit of power is the watt.

  13. Watt • A watt is small. As a result we usually measure power in kilowatts(kW)= 1,000W • Another unit of power: • Horsepower (not an SI unit) • 1 horsepower= 746 watts

  14. Power BrainPOP

  15. Check for Understanding 1.Two physics students, Ben and Bonnie, are in the weightlifting room. Bonnie lifts a barbell over her head using 50N (approximately .60 m) 10 times in 60 seconds; Ben lifts the same barbell over his head the same distance 10 times in 10 seconds. Which student does the most work? Which student delivers the most power? Explain your answers.

  16. Ben and Bonnie do the same amount of work; they apply the same force to lift the same barbell the same distance above their heads. Yet, Ben is the most powerful since he does the same work in less time. Power and time are inversely proportional.

  17. 2. It takes 20 N of force to move a 10 kg mass. You move it a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds? This problem requires you to use the formulas for work, and power in the correct order. Work=Force x Distance Power = Work/Time OR Power = (Force x Distance)/Time

  18. 2. It takes 20 N of force to move a 10 kg mass. You move it a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds? This problem requires you to use the formulas for work, and power in the correct order. Work=Force x Distance Work = 20 x 10 Work = 200 Joules Power = Work/Time Power = 200/5 Power = 40 watts Power = (Force x Distance)/Time Power = (20 x 10)/5 Power= 200/5 Power = 40 watts

  19. History of Work Before engines and motors were invented, people had to do things like lifting or pushing heavy loads by hand. Using an animal could help, but what they really needed were some clever ways to either make work easier or faster.

  20. Simple Machines Ancient people invented simple machines that would help them overcome resistive forces and allow them to do the desired work against those forces.

  21. 6 Simple Machines

  22. Machines • A machine is a device that helps make work easier to perform by accomplishing one or more of the following functions: • The amount of force you exert • The distance over which you exert your force • The direction in which you exert your force.

  23. Input & Output Force • Input force- The force you exert on the machine. • The input force moves the machine a certain distance, called the input distance. • Output force- The force the machine exerts on an object. • The machine does work by exerting a force over another distance, called the output distance.

  24. Input & Output Work • Input work= input force x input distance • Output work= Output force x Output distance • The amount of output work can never be greater than the amount of input work.

  25. Changing Force • In some machines, the output force is greater than the input force • This is possible by increasing the distance. • What kind of machine allows you to exert a smaller input force? • Ramp, faucet knob.

  26. Changing Distance • In some machines, the output force is less than the input force • Why would you use a machine like this? • Hockey stick, chopsticks, riding a bike on a high gear.

  27. Changing Direction • Some machines don’t change the amount of force or the distance. • What is the advantage of using a machine like this? • It is easier to pull down then to push up.

  28. Mechanical Advantage • A machine's mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine increases or multiplies a force. • Formula: • mechanical advantage (MA) = Output Force Input Force • There is no unit for MA.

  29. No machine can increase both the amount of force and the distance at the same time.

  30. Mechanical Advantage • (IMA) Ideal MA: This is the MA of a machine in a world with no friction, and no force is lost anywhere. • (AMA) Actual MA: This is simply the MA of a machine in the world as we know it. - Force is lost due to friction. - It is transferred into thermal energy. • Can we have an ideal machine?

  31. Increasing Force • When the output force is greater than the input force, the MA is greater than 1. • Suppose you exerted a force of 10 N on a hand-held can opener and the can-opener exerts a force of 30 N on the can. What is the MA of the can opener? • MA= Output force Input Force • MA= 30N 10N • MA= 3 • The force you exerted is multiplied 3x by the machine.

  32. Increasing Distance • For a machine to increase distance, the output force is less than the input force. The MA is less than 1 • Suppose you applied a force of 20N and the machine applied a force of 10 N. What is the MA? • MA= Output force Input Force • MA= 10N 20N • MA= 0.5 • The machine decreases the amount of force you exert but increases the distance.

  33. Changing Direction • What can you predict about the MA of a machine that changes the direction of the force? • If ONLY the direction is changed the input force will be the same as the output force so the MA will be 1.

  34. Efficiency • In real world situations, the output work is always less than the input work because some work is wasted overcoming friction. • Efficiency compares the output work to the input work. • Efficiency= Output work x100% Input work • Efficiency is expressed as a percent

  35. Try it out • You do 20 J of work while using a hammer. The hammer does 18J of work on the nail. What is the efficiency of the hammer? • Efficiency= Output work x100% Input work • Efficiency= 18J x100% 20J • Efficiency= .9 x100% = 90%

  36. 6 Simple Machines

  37. The Lever • A lever is a rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point called the fulcrum. • The bar may be either straight or curved. • In use, a lever has both an effort (or applied) force and a load (resistant force).

  38. The 3 Classes of Levers • The class of a lever is determined by the location of the effort force and the load relative to the fulcrum.

  39. To find the MA of a lever, divide the output force by the input force, or divide the length of the resistance arm by the length of the effort arm.

  40. First Class Lever • In a first-class lever the fulcrum is located at some point between the effort and resistance forces. • Common examples of first-class levers include crowbars, scissors, pliers, tin snips and seesaws. • A first-class lever always changes the direction of force (I.e. a downward effort force on the lever results in an upward movement of the resistance force).

  41. Fulcrum is between EF (effort) and RF (load)Effort moves farther than Resistance.Multiplies EF and changes its direction

  42. Second Class Lever • With a second-class lever, the load is located between the fulcrum and the effort force. • Common examples of second-class levers include nut crackers, wheel barrows, doors, and bottle openers. • A second-class lever does not change the direction of force. When the fulcrum is located closer to the load than to the effort force, an increase in force (mechanical advantage) results.

  43. RF (load) is between fulcrum and EF Effort moves farther than Resistance.Multiplies EF, but does not change its direction

  44. Third Class Lever • With a third-class lever, the effort force is applied between the fulcrum and the resistance force. • Examples of third-class levers include tweezers, hammers, and shovels. • A third-class lever does not change the direction of force; third-class levers always produce a gain in speed and distance and a corresponding decrease in force.

  45. EF is between fulcrum and RF (load) Does not multiply force Resistance moves farther than Effort.Multiplies the distance the effort force travels

  46. Wheel and Axle • The wheel and axle is a simple machine consisting of a large wheel rigidly secured to a smaller wheel or shaft, called an axle. • When either the wheel or axle turns, the other part also turns. One full revolution of either part causes one full revolution of the other part.

  47. Pulley • A pulley consists of a grooved wheel that turns freely in a frame called a block. • A pulley can be used to simply change the direction of a force or to gain a mechanical advantage, depending on how the pulley is arranged. • A pulley is said to be a fixed pulley if it does not rise or fall with the load being moved. A fixed pulley changes the direction of a force; however, it does not create a mechanical advantage. • A moveable pulley rises and falls with the load that is being moved. A single moveable pulley creates a mechanical advantage; however, it does not change the direction of a force. • The mechanical advantage of a moveable pulley is equal to the number of ropes that support the moveable pulley.

  48. Inclined Plane • An inclined plane is an even sloping surface. The inclined plane makes it easier to move a weight from a lower to higher elevation.

  49. Inclined Plane • The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to the length of the slope divided by the height of the inclined plane. • While the inclined plane produces a mechanical advantage, it does so by increasing the distance through which the force must move.
