  1. Do now! My Dad wants your Hooke’s law investigations from yesterday

  2. Last lesson • Learn what “work” is! • Learn how to calculate work • See who can do the most work! • Power.

  3. Work In physics, work is the amount of energy transformed (changed) when a force moves (in the direction of the force)

  4. Calculating work The amount of work done (measured in Joules) is equal to the force used (Newtons) multiplied by the distance the force has moved (metres). Force (N) Distance travelled (m)

  5. Work (J)= Force(N) x distance(m) W = Fscosθ

  6. Important The force has to be in the direction of movement. Carrying the shopping home is not work in physics!

  7. What if the force is at an angle to the distance moved? Work = Fscosθ F θ s

  8. Lifting objects When we lift objects, we are doing work because a force is moving. Force Distance moved

  9. Lifting objects Our lifting force is equal to the weight of the object. Lifting force weight

  10. Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m) A woman pushes a car with a force of 400 N at an angle of 10° to the horizontal for a distance of 15m. How much work has she done?

  11. Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m) A woman pushes a car with a force of 400 N at an angle of 10° to the horizontal for a distance of 15m. How much work has she done? W = Fscosθ = 400x15x0.985 W = 5900 J

  12. Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m) A man lifts a mass of 120 kg to a height of 2.5m. How much work did he do?

  13. Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m) A man lifts a mass of 120 kg to a height of 2.5m. How much work did he do? Force = weight = 1200N Work = F x d = 1200 x 2.5 Work = 3000 J

  14. Measuring your work

  15. Power! Power is the amount of energy transformed (changed) per second. It is measured in Watts (1 Watt = 1 J/s) Power = Energy transformed time

  16. Work done in stretching a spring Work done in strectching spring = area under graph F/N x/m

  17. Today’s lesson • Gravitational potential energy • Kinetic energy

  18. Chemical kinetic gravitational Gain in GPE = work done = m x g x Δh

  19. ΔEp = mgΔh m kg Joules N/kg or m/s2

  20. Example Woof! (help!) A dog of mass 12 kg falls from an aeroplane at a height of 3.4 km. How much gravitational energy does the dog lose as it falls to the ground

  21. Example On earth g = 10 m/s2 Mass of dog = 12 kg Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m

  22. Example On earth g = 10 m/s2 Mass of dog = 12 kg GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = 408 000 J Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m

  23. Example GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = 408 000 J Just before the dog hits the ground, what has this GPE turned into?

  24. Kinetic energy

  25. Kinetic energy Kinetic energy of an object can be found using the following formula Ek = mv2 2 where m = mass (in kg) and v = speed (in m/s)

  26. Example A bullet of mass 150 g is travelling at 400 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

  27. Example A bullet of mass 150 g is travelling at 400 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have? Ek = mv2/2 = (0.15 x (400)2)/2 = 12 000 J

  28. Energy changes
