Title: The forces that affect our lives, the influences that mold and shape us, are often like whispers in
1The forces that affect our lives, the influences
that mold and shape us, are often like whispers
in a distant room, teasingly indistinct,
apprehended only with difficulty.
Charles Dickens
2Energy
- Energy comes in many forms and shapes
3Energy
- Energy comes in many forms and shapes
- Food we eat is made up of complex molecules like
carbohydrates, fats and proteins. You learned
last year about the energy contained within
chemical bonds and what happens when these bonds
are rearranged
4Energy
- Energy comes in many forms and shapes
- Thermal energy is that idea of heat and what it
means to be warm or cold and which direction
those will flow. The idea of thermodynamics is
the study of heat and how it behaves. - Remember Qmc?T ??
5Energy
- Energy comes in many forms and shapes
- Electromagnetic radiation from the sun provides
us with energy above and beyond the obvious heat
that we feel while baking on a beach. - The electromagnetic spectrum includes many
varieties of waves that all possess differing
amounts of energy.
6Energy
- Energy comes in many forms and shapes
- Einsteins biggest contribution to scientific
thought was his astonishing revelation that all
matterALL MATTERis simply energy packaged in
different ways. - Emc2 is simply a mathematical statement of that
observation
7Forms of Energy
- Looking around you every day will lend itself to
seeing varying forms of energy in our terms. - Springs, elastic bands, gasoline, light, heat,
hammers, lawnmowers, shovels, even the human
body..these all possess or use or transform that
idea we call energy
8Forms of Energy
- Looking around you every day will lend itself to
seeing varying forms of energy in our terms. - Springs, elastic bands, gasoline, light, heat,
hammers, lawnmowers, shovels, even the human
body..these all possess or use or transform that
idea we call energy - Another way to look at energy as a definition is
where we begin Chapter 7.Energy is that entity
that provides the ability to do work.
9Work the scientific definition
- Work as we know it in every day terms is not
really the truest definition of work in the
scientific realm
10Work the scientific definition
- Work as we know it in every day terms is not
really the truest definition of work in the
scientific realm - In physics, and all science, work is done when a
force causes a movement of an object.
11Work the scientific definition
- Work as we know it in every day terms is not
really the truest definition of work in the
scientific realm - In physics, and all science, work is done when a
force causes a movement of an object. - IMPULSE force applied over a period of time
(F)(t) - WORK force applied over a distance (F)(x)
12WORK
- When a force acts upon an object to cause a
displacement of the object, it is said that work
was done upon the object. - There are three key ingredients to work - force,
displacement, and cause.
13WORK
- When a force acts upon an object to cause a
displacement of the object, it is said that work
was done upon the object. - There are three key ingredients to work - force,
displacement, and cause. - In order for a force to qualify as having done
work on an object, there must be a displacement
and the force must cause the displacement. - There are several good examples of work which can
be observed in everyday life - a horse pulling a
plow through the field, a father pushing a
grocery cart down the aisle of a grocery store, a
freshman lifting a backpack full of books upon
her shoulder, a weightlifter lifting a barbell
above his head, an Olympian launching the
shot-put, etc. In each case described here there
is a force exerted upon an object to cause that
object to be displaced.
14Read the following four statements and determine
whether or not they represent examples of work.
- A teacher applies a force to a wall and becomes
exhausted. -
- A book falls off a table and free falls to the
ground. -
- A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his
head by one arm straight across the room at
constant speed. (Careful! This is a very
difficult question which will be discussed in
more detail later.) -
- A rocket accelerates through space.

15WORK
- Mathematically, work can be expressed by the
following equation - W (F)(x)(cos?)
- where F is the force, x is the displacement,
and the angle (?) is defined as the angle between
the force and the displacement vector.
16Units are the punctuation of science!!!
- Unit for work is a derived one
- Force times displacement
- Newtons times meters (Nm)
- Nm is called the JOULE
- 1000 Joules is 1 kilojoule (1 kJ)
- 1,000,000 Joules is 1 megajoule (1 MJ)
17WORK
- The angle measure is defined as the angle between
the force and the displacement. To gather an idea
of its meaning, consider the following three
scenarios
18WORK Scenarios
- Scenario A A force acts rightward upon an object
as it is displaced rightward. In such an
instance, the force vector and the displacement
vector are in the same direction. Thus, the angle
between F and x is 0 degrees.

T 0
displacement
Example Pulling on a crate with a rope
19WORK Scenarios
- Scenario B A force acts leftward upon an object
which is displaced rightward. In such an
instance, the force vector and the displacement
vector are in the opposite direction. Thus, the
angle between F and x is 180 degrees.
Force
T 180

Example friction acting against the crate from
Scenario A
20WORK Scenarios
- Scenario C A force acts upward on an object as
it is displaced rightward. In such an instance,
the force vector and the displacement vector are
at right angles to each other. Thus, the angle
between F and x is 90 degrees.
Force

T 90

a dining room
21 Work Formula
- Where does that cosine ? come from?
- Consider an example of pulling on a crate with a
rope - A. If the pull and the displacement are in the
same direction, then ? is 0. - COSINE OF ZERO 1.0
Fpull
22 Work Formula
- Where does that cosine ? come from?
- Consider an example of pulling on a crate with a
rope - B. If the pull and the displacement are in
opposite directions, then ? is 180. - COSINE OF 180 -1.0
Ffriction
displacement
23 Work Formula
- Where does that cosine ? come from?
- Consider an example of pulling on a crate with a
rope - C. If the pull and the displacement are at an
angle of 37 then - The portion of the force that is
- parallel to the motion is (F)(cos?)
- Assuming the displacement is in the same
direction as that parallel force, then the
formula looks like - W(F)(cos?)(x)
Fpull

F cos?
24In-Class PracticeSolve the following examples
25Solutions
- Diagram A Answer
- W (100 N) (5 m) cos(0 degrees) 500 J
- The force and the displacement are given in the
problem statement. It is said (or shown or
implied) that the force and the displacement are
both rightward. Since F and x are in the same
direction, the angle is 0 degrees.
26Solutions
- Diagram B Answer
- W (100 N) (5 m) cos(30 degrees) 433 J
- The force and the displacement are given in
the problem statement. It is said that the
displacement is rightward. It is shown that the
force is 30 degrees above the horizontal. Thus,
the angle between F and x is 30 degrees.
27Solutions
- Diagram C Answer
- W (150 N) (5 m) cos(0 degrees) 750 J
- The displacement is given in the problem
statement. The applied force must be 150 N since
the 15-kg mass (Fgrav150 Nweight) is lifted at
constant speed. Since F and y are in the same
direction, the angle is 0 degrees.
