14.1 Work and Power
The weight lifter applies a large force to hold the barbell over his head.
Because the barbell is motionless, no work is done on the barbell.
14.1 Work and Power
I. Work and PowerA. Work- the product of force and distance.
1. Work Requires motiona. For a force to do work on an object, some of the
force must act in the same direction as the object moves. If there is no movement, no work is done.
b. Any part of a force that does not act in the direction of motion does no work on an object.
14.1 Work and Power
Work is done when a force acts on an object in the direction the object moves. Work is done when the weightlifter exerts an upward force to raise the barbell.
What Is Work?
14.1 Work and Power
Work Requires Motion
The weight lifter does no work on the barbell as he holds it over his head. The force applied to the barbell does not cause it to move.
What Is Work?
14.1 Work and Power
2. Work Depends on Direction
a. If all of the force acts in the same direction as the motion, all of the forces do work.
b. If part of the applied force acts in the direction of motion, that part of the force does work.
c. If none of the force is applied in the direction of the motion, the force does no work.

2. Using the Work Formula
a. A weight lifter raises a 1600-newton barbell to a height of 2.0 meters.
• Work = Force × Distance
• Work = 1600 N × 2.0 m
• Work = 3200 N·m = 3200 J
14.1 Work and Power
C. Power is the rate of doing work.
1. Doing work at a faster rate requires more power.
2. To increase power you can:
a. increase the amount of work done in a given time,
b. you can do a given amount of work in less time.
14.1 Work and Power
Work is required to move snow from one location to another. A person using a shovel and a person using a snow blower can both do the work needed to remove the snow.
The snow blower can do the job much faster because it has more power.
What Is Power?
14.1 Work and Power
Because the snow blower can remove more snow in less time, it requires more power than hand shoveling does.

E. James Watt and Horsepower
1. Another common unit of power is the horsepower.
a. One horsepower (hp) is equal to about 746 watts.
2. James Watt (1736-1819) used horsepower to compare the power outputs of steam engines he had designed.
a. Horses were a logical choice for comparison as they were the most commonly used source of power in the 1700s.
14.1 Work and Power
The horse-drawn plow and the gasoline-powered engine are both capable of doing work at a rate of four horsepower.
