Energy • An Overview • Work • Potential & Kinetic Energy • Energy Sources • Petroleum • Coal • Water • Nuclear • Solar • Wind • Geo-thermal
Energy • Work • To understand WORK – we must understand force • Force • An interaction between objects that is capable of changing the objects state of motion (rest/moving) • F=ma
Energy Force WorkPowerEnergy F=ma m=F/a a=F/m
Energy • Work (Mechanical) • A function of force and distance • Application of a force to an object and the distance the object moves • W = F x d • Unit of measurement – foot pound (ft lb)
Energy Force WorkPowerEnergy F=ma W=Fd
Energy • Important criteria for Work: • Something must move • Movement must be in the same direction as the direction of the force • Push, pull, lift, etc. • Time is not a function of work
Energy • Power • Defined as the amount of work done over a period of time. • Force, distance, & time • Decrease the time – increase the power • Horsepower • 550 ft lb/s
Energy Force WorkPowerEnergy F=ma W=FdP=W/t
Energy • Energy • Defined as the ability to do work • Potential energy • Energy at rest • Fig 3.6 (p. 67) • Kinetic Energy • Energy in motion • Defined in terms of • Work done to put the object in motion • Work done on coming to rest
