Chapter 12 Work and Power Section 1: Work and Power What is Work? • Work is the _________________________ to a body by the application of a force that causes the body to move in the ____________________________________________. • Work is done only when a force causes an object to _____________________________ ____________________. This is different from the everyday meaning of work!!!! • Work Equation work = force distance W= • Work is measured in ___________________. • Because work is calculated as force times distance, it is measured in units of _______________________________, N•m. • • These units are also called joules (__). In terms of SI base units, a joule is equivalent to 1 kg•m2/s2. Definition of joules = = 1 kg•m2/s2 Math Example:Work: Imagine a father playing with his daughter by lifting her repeatedly in the air. How much work does he do with each lift, assuming he lifts her 2.0 m and exerts an average force of 190 N? A. Given B. Unknown C. Any Conversions? D. Formula; math; answer Power • Power is a quantity that measures the ____________________________________ or __________________________________________. • Power Equation Power = Work/Time P= • Power is measured in _____________. • A watt (W) is equal to a ________________________ (1 J/s). 1 Math Example: Power: It takes 100 kJ of work to lift an elevator 18 m. If this is done in 20 s, what is the average power of the elevator during the process? A. Given B. Unknown C. Any Conversions? D. Formula; math; answer Section 3 What is Energy? Energy and Work • Energy is the _______________________________________. • • When you do work on an object, you transfer energy to that object. • Whenever work is done, energy is ____________________ or ____________________ to another system. Energy is measured in _________________. • Because energy is a measure of the ability to do work, energy and work are expressed in the same units. Potential Energy • The energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object is called potential energy. • • Potential energy is ________________________. • Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in any type of stretched or compressed elastic material, such as a spring or a rubber band. • Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in the gravitational field which exists between any two or more objects. Gravitational potential energy depends on both mass and height. • • Gravitational Potential Energy Equation grav. PE = mass free-fall acceleration height PE = The height can be relative. • The height used in the above equation is usually measured from the ground. • However, it can be a relative height between two points, such as between two branches in a tree. 2 Math Example: Gravitational Potential Energy A 65 kg rock climber ascends a cliff. What is the climber’s gravitational potential energy at a point 35 m above the base of the cliff? A. Given: mass, m = height, h = free-fall acceleration, g = B. Unknown: gravitational potential energy, PE = ? J C. None D. Formula; math; answer Kinetic Energy • The energy of a moving object due to the object’s motion is called kinetic energy. • Kinetic energy is the energy of ___________________ • Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. • Kinetic Energy Equation KE= ½ x Mass x Velocity2 KE= • Kinetic energy depends on __________________________________________. Math Example: Kinetic Energy What is the kinetic energy of a 44 kg cheetah running at 31 m/s? A. Given: B. Unknown: C. None D. Formula; math; answer Other Forms of Energy • The amount of work an object can do because of the object’s kinetic and potential energies is called mechanical energy. • • In addition to mechanical energy, most systems contain nonmechanical energy. • • Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy in a system. Nonmechanical energy does not usually affect systems on a large scale. Atoms and molecules have kinetic energy. • The kinetic energy of particles is related to ______________________________. 3 • Chemical reactions involve potential energy. • The amount of chemical energy associated with a substance depends in part on the relative positions of the atoms it contains. • Living things get energy from the __________. • Plants use photosynthesis to turn the energy in sunlight into chemical energy. The sun gets energy from __________________________. • The sun is fueled by nuclear ____________ reactions in its core. • • Electricity is a form of energy. • Electrical energy is derived from the _________________________________, as in a bolt of lightning or in a wire. • Light can carry energy across empty space. • Light energy travels from the sun to Earth across empty space in the form of _______________________________________. Section 4 Conservation of Energy Energy Transformations • Energy readily changes from one form to another. • Potential energy can become kinetic energy. • As a car goes down a hill on a roller coaster, potential energy changes to kinetic energy. • Kinetic energy can become potential energy. • The kinetic energy a car has at the bottom of a hill can do work to carry the car up another hill. Chapter 12 Conservation of Energy Energy Graphs • Energy transformations explain the flight of a ball. • Mechanical energy can change to other forms of energy. • Mechanical energy can change to nonmechanical energy as a result of friction, air resistance, or other means. 4 The Law of Conservation of Energy • The law of conservation of energy states that energy _____________________________ ________________________________ • Energy doesn’t appear out of nowhere. • Whenever the total energy in a system increases, it must be due to energy that enters the system from an external source. • Energy ____________________, but it can be _________________________________. • Scientist study energy systems. • Boundaries define a system. • Systems may be ____________ or _____________. • When the flow of energy into and out of a system is small enough that it can be ignored, the system is called a ______________________. • Most systems are ______________________, which exchange energy with the space that surrounds them. 5
