5.1 The Meaning of Work

 If
word work is used in many different ways.
You work on science problems.
You go to work.
Your toaster doesn’t work.
Taking out the trash is too much work.
you push a box with a force of one newton
for a distance of one meter, you have done
exactly one joule of work.
5.1 Work
Work (joules)
Force (N)
W=Fxd
Distance (m)
5.1 Efficiency
 In
a very efficient machine, all (or most) of the
work input becomes work output.
 An
engineer would say the machine was 100
percent efficient, because all the input work
became output work and none was lost.
 You
calculate efficiency by dividing the work
output by the work input.
5.1 Power

The rate at which work is done is called power.

You can determine the power of a machine by dividing the
amount of work done by the time it takes in seconds.

The unit of power is called the watt.

One watt is equal to one joule of work done in one second.

Another unit of power commonly used is the horsepower.

One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.

5.2 Energy


Energy is the ability to do work.
Any object that has energy has the ability to
create force.
 Energy

is measured in the same units as work.
A joule is a unit of force that acts over a
distance.
5.2 Potential Energy
 The
first type of energy we will explore is
called potential energy.
 Potential
energy comes from the position of an
object relative to the Earth.
 Objects
that have potential energy don’t use
their energy until they move.

5.2 Kinetic Energy
 Objects
 Energy
also store energy in motion.
of motion is called kinetic energy.
 Applying
a force means you do some work,
which is stored as energy.
 Kinetic
energy depends on two things: mass
and speed.
5.2 Kinetic Energy

5.2 Energy Conservation

Nature never creates or
destroys energy; energy only
gets converted from one form
to another.

This concept is called the law
of conservation of energy.

At any moment in its flight, the
ball has exactly the same
energy it had at the start.

The energy is divided between
potential and kinetic, but the
total is unchanged.
5.2 Energy Conservation
Key Question:
What is energy and how
does it behave?
5.2 Mini Quiz

5.3 Energy Transformations
Energy transformations
occur between different
types of energy.
— radiant energy
— electrical energy
— chemical energy
— nuclear energy
5.3 Energy Transformations

On a trip up a hill, work is
transferred to potential.

Potential is transferred to
kinetic on the way down
the hill.

The total energy is
conserved.
Energy Transformations
in a Power Plant
Power plants convert
chemical energy into
electrical energy.
1. chemical energy
2. heat energy
3. mechanical energy
4. electrical energy
5.2 Other Forms of Energy

Radiant energy is also known as electromagnetic
energy.

Electrical energy we use in our daily lives is actually
derived from other sources of energy.

Chemical energy is the type of energy stored in
molecules.

Nuclear energy comes from splitting an atom, or
fusing two atoms together.

Heat is a form of thermal energy.
