What is Energy?What is Energy? Energy is the ability to do work.Energy is the ability to do work.

What is Work?• Work is done when a force causes a change in distance

WorkWork Work can be expressed as an Work can be expressed as an

equationequation

W = F dW = F d

W – Work (Joules, J W – Work (Joules, J oror Newton-meter, Newton-meter,

N m)N m)

F – Force (Newtons, N)F – Force (Newtons, N)

d – Distance (meters, m)d – Distance (meters, m)

Sample ProblemSample Problem A man pushes a box across a floor A man pushes a box across a floor

with a force of 20 N for 10 m. How with a force of 20 N for 10 m. How much work does the man exert?much work does the man exert?

Work vs. ImpulseWork vs. Impulse Impulse is a force exerted over an Impulse is a force exerted over an

amount of timeamount of time Work is a force exerted over a Work is a force exerted over a

distancedistance

What about how much work is What about how much work is done over time?done over time?

PowerPower Power is the rate at which work is donePower is the rate at which work is done

(how fast work is done)(how fast work is done) EquationEquation

P = WP = W tt

PP – Power (Watts, W – Power (Watts, W or Jor Joules/secondoules/second))WW - Work (Joules, J - Work (Joules, J oror Newton-meter, N Newton-meter, N

m)m)tt – time (seconds) – time (seconds)

Horsepower

When the steam engine first came out, people wanted to know how they compared to horses.

James Watt expressed the power of his steam engines in horsepower, or the rate at which horses could do work.

745 Watts = 1 Horsepower

Sample ProblemsSample Problems

If a machine does 5000 J of work in If a machine does 5000 J of work in 10 sec, what is the power?10 sec, what is the power?

Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes.
