Example 1A 105g hockey puck is sliding across the ice. A player exerts a
4.5N force over a distance of 0.15m. How much work does the player do on the puck? What is the change in the pucks energy?
Example 1Given: m=105g=0.105kg
F=4.5Nd=.15m
Eq: W=F dW=(4.5N)x(0.15m)
W=0.68J
Example 2A gardener pushes a lawn mower across a 20m lawn. He applies a 250N force to the handle. If the
handle makes a 30º with the ground, how much work is done
to make one pass across the lawn?

Given: d=20mF=250N at 30º
Fx = 250cos30º Fx = 217N

Power – watts - W
Power is the rate at which work is done.
Power = work time
Power
P = W t
P = Fd t
Example 2A farmer lifts a 1.0kg bail of hay 2m. On a good day it takes the farmer 0.5s. How much power
does the farmer produce.

Given: d = 2mm =1kgt = 0.5s
Eq: P = W t
P = mgd t
P = Fd t
P = (1kg)(9.8m/s2)(2m) 0.5s
P = 39.2 W
P = mgd t
Machines
A machine eases the load by changing either the magnitude or the direction of a force as it transmits energy to the task.
Mechanical Advantage

Fe
Mechanical Advantage
Effort Force ( Fe ) : The force you apply
to the machine.
Resistance Force ( Fr ) :The force exerted by the machine.
Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical Advantage (MA) The number of times the machine
multiplies the effort force.MA = resistance force
