Bellringer
In your study of motion, you have learned that forces
can cause motion. But in some cases, a force that is
applied is balanced by another opposite force, and
there is no net motion as a result. Look at the following
illustrations, and identify the forces and motion in each
one. (See illustrations on following slide.)
1. In one drawing, no motion is likely to occur. Which
drawing is it?
2. Describe the forces that are acting in this diagram. If
the person exerts slightly more force, what happens to
the opposite force? Does it increase to match the new
force of the person, stay the same, or decrease?

What is Work?
• Work is the transfer of energy to a body by the
application of a force that causes the body to move in
the direction of the force.
• Work is done only when a force causes an object to
move in the direction of the force. This is different
from the everyday meaning of work.
• Work Equation
work = force  distance
W=Fd

What is Work?, continued
• Work is measured in joules.
• Because work is calculated as force times
distance, it is measured in units of newtons times
meters, N•m.
• These units are also called joules (J). In terms of
SI base units, a joule is equivalent to 1 kg•m2/s2.
• Definition of joules
1 J = 1 N•m = 1 kg•m2/s2

Machines and Mechanical Advantage
• Machines multiply and redirect forces.
• Machines help people by redistributing the work
put into them.
• They can change either the size or the direction of
the input force.
• Different forces can do the same amount of work.
• A machine allows the same amount of work to be
done by either decreasing the distance while
increasing the force or by decreasing the force
while increasing the distance.

Bellringer
You may not think of a
door as a simple machine,
but it is one. It functions
like a lever. Like other
levers, when you exert a
force on it (an input force),
a force is exerted along
the entire door (the output
force).

1. For all levers, one point along the lever stays still
while the rest of the lever moves. This point is called the
fulcrum. Where is the fulcrum of a door?
2. You can push at any point along the width of a door
and it will open. Which position requires the least force:
pushing the door near the hinges, in the middle, or near
the side farthest from the hinges? (Hint: Which of these
feels easiest to do?)
3. If you are trying to prop the door open, but your only
doorstop is not very heavy, is it likely to work best near
the hinges, in the middle, or near the side farthest from
the hinges?

The Lever Family, continued
• Levers have a rigid arm and a fulcrum.
• Levers are divided into three classes.
• All first-class levers have a fulcrum located
between the points of application of the input and
output forces.
• In a second-class lever, the fulcrum is at one end
of the arm and the input force is applied to the
other end.
• Third-class levers multiply distance rather than
force. As a result, they have a mechanical
advantage of less than 1.

Bellringer
In the chapter on matter, you learned that energy is
conserved. Instead of being created or destroyed, it is
just changed from one form to another. The energy of
the sunlight that reaches Earth is the ultimate source of
most of the energy around us. Look at the illustration
below, and identify the types of energy involved.

girl needed to swing the bat? (Hint: What do you need

2. When the girl hits the ball, she exerts a force on it.
Does she do work on the ball in the scientific sense of
the term? Explain why.
3. After the girl hits the ball, the ball moves very fast and

stops moving. Given that energy can never be
destroyed but merely changes form, what happened to

fielder, what do you hear and feel as you catch the
ball?)

Section 3 What is Energy?
Energy and Work
• Energy is the ability to do work.
• When you do work on an object, you transfer
energy to that object.
• Whenever work is done, energy is transformed or
transferred to another system.
• Energy is measured in joules.
• Because energy is a measure of the ability to do
work, energy and work are expressed in the same
units.

type of stretched or compressed elastic material,

When astronauts first landed on the moon, cameras
sent back pictures of them jumping. They were able
to jump much higher than on Earth even though they
were wearing very heavy space suits. Muscles
generate the same amount of force on Earth, on the
moon, or in space.
5. Analyze why the astronauts could jump higher on
the moon without exerting any additional force.
