Objective: I can challenge myself to become proficient in determining when work is done for a mechanical system, by the end of the unit.

Outcomes {Lets Think About it}: When is Work Done? {Lets Learn}: Work Energy Theorem {Lets Push Your Thinking}: CSI training packet Express Yourself}

Work
WHAT IS WORK ? (IN PHYSICS)

{Lets Think About it}: In a physical sense,

which do you think is more work?

Write the question including the choices then write your choice down. Holding a 100 kg weight above your head. Pushing really hard against a wall to the point of exhaustion Lifting a 10 kg weight above your head from the floor Pushing a 50kg box across the floor at a constant velocity Studying all night long for a physics test

What is Work?
Work is a force action over some distance to cause a change in energy.
The amount of work done depends on two things: a. The amount of force exerted and b. The distance over which the force is applied. There are two factors to keep in mind when deciding when work is being done: something has to move and the motion must be in the direction of the applied force. Work can be calculated by using the following formula: Work=force x displacement

Units of Work
Work = Force x Displacement The unit of force is Newtons (N) The unit of displacement is meters (m) The unit of work is newton-meters (N-m) One newton-meter is equal to one joule (J) So, the unit of work is a joule. Work is a scalar, like energy.

Work is done on the books when they are being lifted, but no work is done on them when they are being held or carried horizontally.
