Work and Energy
PAf.1:
Explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to the
transformation of various forms of energy (including mechanical energy,
electrical energy, chemical energy, light energy, sound energy, and thermal
energy).
PAf.2:
Explain the factors that determine potential and kinetic
energy and the transformation of one to the other.
PAf.3:
Explain work in terms of the relationship among the force
applied to an object, the displacement of the object, and the energy
transferred to the object.
PAf.4:
Use the formula W = Fd to solve problems related to work
done on an object.
PAa.1:
Generate hypotheses on the basis of credible, accurate, and
relevant sources of scientific information.
PAa.2:
Use appropriate laboratory apparatuses, technology, and
techniques safely and accurately when conducting a scientific investigation.
PAa.9:
Use appropriate safety procedures when conducting
investigations.
We must always change,
renew, rejuvenate
ourselves; otherwise we
harden.
Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
Fact: The average lifespan of a major league baseball: 7 pitches.
Work



= force x distance
Work is only done if an object moves!
Measure in N*m, or the joule (J)
James Prescott Joule, 18181889

English physicist and brewer, born in Salford,
Lancashire. Joule studied the nature of heat,
and discovered its relationship to mechanical
work. Wikipedia
Power



Work/time
Work done per period of time, it is a rate of
how fast work is done
Measured in joules/second = watt
James Watt, 1736-1819

Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer
whose improvements to the Newcomen steam
engine were fundamental to the changes
brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his
native Great Britain and the rest of the world.

Potential energy




Energy of position
PE = mgh
Usually work is done on an object to give it
potential energy
Can be mechanical or chemical
Kinetic energy



The energy of motion
KE = ½ m*v2
= ½ times the mass of the object times the
speed squared
Energies are related

Energy can be transformed from one form to
the other with work
Work-Energy Theorem


Work = ΔKE
F * d = ½ m * v2

Conservation of energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may
be transformed from one form into another or
transferred from one object to another, but the
total amount of energy never changes
Simple machines
