Topics in Work and energy

1

Scientific Definition of Work

  • Work in science is different from everyday usage - requires both force and displacement
  • Two conditions for work: (1) Force must act on object, (2) Object must be displaced
  • Work is done only when displacement occurs in direction of force
2

Energy and Its Types

  • Energy is the capacity to do work
  • Energy exists in various forms and can be converted from one form to another
  • When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to it
3

Conservation of Energy

  • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another
  • Total mechanical energy (KE + PE) remains constant in absence of friction
  • In a pendulum: PE is maximum at extremes, KE is maximum at center
4

Power

  • Power is the rate of doing work or rate of energy transfer
  • More powerful machines do same work in less time
  • Power determines how quickly energy transformations occur
