Work and Energy Work = Force X distance W = Fd • Unit - Joules (N m), (kg m2/s2) • Force must be in the direction of the motion.
Work and Direction Lifting a box is work • Fighting force of gravity. • Lifting force in same direction box moves. Your lifting force and the boxes direction Fighting against the force of gravity
Work and Direction Pushing a box is work • Applied force is in the direction of movement • Working against force of friction • Pushing on ice would be less work Frictional Force
Work and Direction Carrying a box is not work Your lifting force But this is the direction of motion Fighting against the force of gravity
Work and Direction Mowing the lawn is some work • only do work in horizontal direction. • The downward push, because of the angle of the handle, doesn’t do any work. Your push This is the only part that does work This part is lost
Vertical vs. Horizontal Work Lifting Gives an object Potential Energy of position. Pushing Gives an object Kinetic Energy of Motion.
