What is Work?
For work to be done, a force must be
exerted and there must be motion or
displacement in the direction of the
force. The work done by a force acting
on an object is equal to the magnitude
of the force multiplied by the distance
moved in the direction of the force.
Unit of Work
The SI unit of work is Joule (J). For example,
Carl applied a force of 5 newtons to an
object and moves a distance of 2 meters,
how much work done he exerted?
F(Newton), D(meter)
Given: 5 newtons & 2 meters
W=F×D
W=N.m
W=5N×2m
W=10 N.m or 10 Joules.
Try these exercise!
1) A force of 20 newtons pushing an
object 5 meters in the direction of
the force. How much work is done?

work or how fast one does work. If one
does work very fast ,then his power is great.
Doing it slow will give a lesser power.
Take note the formula of Power,
P=F*D/t=J/s or watts
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
A new conveyor system at the local
packaging plan will utilize a motor-powered
mechanical arm to exert an average force
of 98N to push large crates a distance of 6
meters in 20 seconds. Determine the power
output required of such a motor.
Given:
F=98N
D=6m
T=20 sec
P=F×D/t
P=N×m/sec
=(98N×6m)÷20 sec
=29.4 watts (j/s)
Try these exercise!
1. A crane lifts an 8000N beam ,75 m
to the top of a building in 30 sec.
How much power does the crane
use?

Energy is the ability to perform work. 0.5)* (10 kg) * 5 m/s².
Energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, and it can only be transformed Given:
from one form to another. The unit of m= 10kg
Energy is the same as of Work, i.e. Joules.
Energy is found in many things, and thus v= 5m/s
there are different types of energy.
KE=?

Energy is divided into two types:

KE =½mv²
1. Kinetic energy
2. Potential energy
=(½)•m•(v)²

=(0.5)×(10kg)×(5m/s)²
WHAT IS KINETIC ENERGY? KE =125 J
Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a
moving body or object because of its
motion. Try these exercise!

Kinetic energy in Joules is equal to one half 1. How much KE is possessed by an 83

multiplied by the speed of the object
squared.
WHAT IS POTENTIAL ENERGY?
-is energy that is stored in an object.
KE- kinetic energy, joules

m- mass,kg
There are two different types of Potential
v- velocity, m/s
energy.

1. Gravitational Potential energy

KE=½mv² KE=(½)•m•(v)² 2. Elastic Potential energy

WHAT IS GRAVITATIONAL
For example, if an object with a mass of 10 POTENTIAL ENERGY?
