FORCE • How much force is needed to accelerate a 1400 kilogram car 2 m/s2?
FORCE • How much force is needed to accelerate a 1400 kilogram car 2 m/s2? • F = m x a • F = 1400kg x 2 m/s2 • F = 2800 N
WORK IS A FORCE ACTING THROUGH A DISTANCE Work is measured in Joules (J) WORK= FORCE x DISTANCE W = F x d
WORK In order for work to be done, the movement of the object must be in the same direction in which the force is applied. Work is the transfer of energy
WORK If you push with all your might (150N) to move a boulder and it moves 4 meters, how much work have you done on the boulder?
WORK If you push with all your might (150N) to move a boulder and it moves 4 meters, how much work have you done on the boulder? • W = F x d • W = 150N x 4m • W = 600 J
