Name: Regents Physics Date: Mr. Morgante UNIT 3 Work, Energy & Power

Work Work is equal to the force applied to an object that results in the object s displacement. Displacement is a vector! So again, direction and sign convention are important. Eq: W = F x d Units: J = N x m This J is a unit, it is not impulse! Joules W = Work (Joules OR N m) F = Force (Newtons) d = displacement (meters) Joules is a unit of energy, therefore we must input energy into moving an object to do work. If I do work on an object, I have put energy into the object! I push a lawnmower, I put energy into moving a lawnmower. Can we derive Kinetic Energy equations from work and Newton s 2 nd Law! W = F Net d AND F Net = m a W = m a d where v 2 = 2a d from kinematics equations therefore v 2 / 2 = a d W = m (v 2 / 2) W = Joules = energy KE = Joules = energy KE = ½ m v 2 a = v/ t v = d/t Typically W = F d Fapp. = 10N d=10 m Fapp.=10N W = F d = 10N x 10 m = 100 N m = 100 J 2

Kinetic Energy of an Object Kinetic means moving, therefore object has to be moving. Does it have Kinetic Energy (KE)? Yes it moves, therefore it has KE. KE = ½ mv 2 KE = Kinetic Energy (Joules) m = mass (kg) v = Velocity (m/s) [has direction & magnitude] OR speed (m/s) [has only direction] Ex. v = 10 m/s m = 2kg KE = ½ mv 2 = ½ (2kg)(10m/s) 2 = 100 Joules Different Forms of Energy Gravitational Potential Energy (PEg) When work is done against gravity i.e. lifting a box, climbing stairs, climbing a mountain, etc. PE = mg h PE = change in potential energy (Joules) m = mass (kg) g = gravity (m/s 2 ) h = change in height OR elevation (m) mg = weight = (N) SKETCH h g m F 3

Work Against Friction Trick Question - Object moves at constant speed of 2 m/s for a distance of 5m. What work is done on the object? [Ans: NONE b/c constant velocity = no accel.=no Force] Sketch: F N Ff Fapplied F g =m g Elastic Potential Energy mg = F g Hooke s Law = F = k x SKETCH x (N)=(N/m)(m) k = spring constant (N/m) When we stretch a spring, we input stored energy (PEs) Potential Energy of Spring into the spring. We know this because when the spring is released, it moves and when it moves it transforms PEs into KE. Eq. for PEs PEs = ½ k x 2 This is energy Please note this is NOT F = K x This is force k = spring constant (N/m) x = displacement (m) **If you use F=k x, you can first get k and then k plug into PEs = ½ k x 2 ** PEs = stored energy (J) or (N m) 4

Area Under Graphs and Work & Energy F d Area of triangle = ½ b h Units for energy Joules or N m Slope = spring constant UNITS ANALYSIS Y axis N X axis m Therefore looking at units for the area under line ½ Base Height OR ½ Force distance = F d Units Analysis = N m = J which is energy! 5

Pendulum- Period T=2Π l/g Time to complete 1 full swing No friction, pendulum will keep swinging Period depends on length (l) and gravitational acceleration (g) Period is independent of mass of the bob h v=0 here so MAX PE g! Equilibrium point V max is here so MAX KE! Period is the time taken by the bob to go from one end of its swing to the opposite end and then return to the starting point - Stick different masses on pendulum and determine T - Set different length and determine T Total Energy= KE + PE + Internal Energy We will talk about forms of energy in motors, generators, photocell, battery. Power Power is the rate at which work is done, or the rate at which energy is used transferred. The SI unit for power is the watt (W). A power of 1W means that work is being done at the rate of 1 J/s. Larger units for power are the kilowatt kw (1kW = 1000 W = 10 3 W) and the megawatt MW (1 MW = 1000000 W = 10 6 W). 7

If work is being done by a machine moving at speed v against a constant force, or resistance, F, then since work doe is force times distance, work done per second is Fv, which is the same as power. Example 1 A constant force of 2 kn pulls a crate along a level floor a distance of 10 m in 50s. What is the power used? Solution Alternatively we could have calculated the speed first and then calculated power 8

Example 2 A hoist operated by an electric motor has a mass of 500 kg. It raises a load of 300 kg vertically at a steady speed of 0.2 m/s. Frictional resistance can be taken to be constant at 1200 N. What is the power required? Solution From the Previous Power Equation 9
