What I Need to Know
This module will give you the range of information needed in the learning
process. This will allow you to explore and learn more about the key concepts
in Physics. These includes work, power, and energy. These are entwined
concepts. In this module, the discussions will get focused on the two types of
mechanical energy- the kinetic and potential energy. Aside from energy, you
will know about what is work too in this module.
1. Identify and explain the factors that affect potential and kinetic
energy.

What’s In
There are three different ways on how energy is being transferred from
one place to another. Sound and light are transferred trough waves, electrical
energy is transferred by moving electrical charges through a complete circuit
and heat is transferred either by randomly moving particles, or by
electromagnetic waves. Work is also a means of transferring energy from one
object to another.
You have also learned that; the force of gravity is the force that earth
exerts on all objects on its surface. It is always directed downward or towards
the center of the earth. When an object is lifted from the ground, the work done
is against the force of gravity. An object gains energy when raised from the
ground and loses energy when made to fall.
In module 1, it states that, force can change the state of motion of an
object. If an object is at rest, it can be moved by exerting force on it. If an object
is moving it can be made to move faster or stop by applying forced on it.
7
What’s New
The new lessons will discuss about the basic concept of work and the
two basic forms of energy --The Kinetic and Potential Energy.
1. Work
2. Potential Energy
3. Kinetic Energy
8
What is It
What is work? Have you considered yourself doing work all the time?
Surprisingly, not all the things that we do is considered as work. Operational
definition of work will be discussed with qualitative and quantitative description
that suits in our day-to-day living. The word “work “rings a bell to anyone as it
is done continuously by everyone. However, scientifically not all things that we
do can be considered as work.
w = Fd
Hence, the unit of work is Nm or (joules) J.
Let’s try to solve the following problems!
9
Sample problem:
Manong Kanor, a porter is pushing a cart of goods along Pier 1. He exerted 500
N to move the goods covering 3 m. What is the amount of work is done by
Manong Kanor?
Given:
w = Fd
F = 500 N
= (500 N )(3m )
d = 3m
= 1,500 J
10
HOW IS THE EQUATION OF KINETIC ENERGY DERIVED?
Let us recall the formulas of force, acceleration and average velocity
F = ma
v f − vi
a=
t
v f + vi
vave =
2
In the study of the accelerated motion,
Therefore,
𝑣𝑓2 −𝑣𝑖2
𝑎𝑑 = 2
𝑊 = 𝑚𝑎𝑑
𝑣𝑓2 −𝑣𝑖 2
= 𝑚( )
2
1 1
= 2 𝑚𝑣𝑓2 − 2 𝑚𝑣𝑖2
= 𝐾𝐸𝑓 − 𝑘𝐸𝑖
𝑊 = 𝛥𝐾𝐸
1
𝐾𝐸 = 2 𝑚𝑣 2
The work done in accelerating an object is equal to the kinetic energy gained
by the object. Therefore, kinetic energy depends on the object’s mass and
11
velocity. What will happen to the kinetic energy (KE) of an object if mass and
velocity are doubled?
𝑚
In Module 1, the unit for mass is kg while for velocity is meter per second ( 𝑠 ).
𝑚 2
Unit of KE = 𝑘𝑔 ( )
𝑠
𝑚2
Unit of KE = 𝑘𝑔
𝑠2
But,
𝑚
𝑘𝑔. 𝑠2 = 1newton, N
Sample problem:
Given:
Facts about kinetic energy
m = 1000kg
v = 15 m 1. When the velocity of the object is
s doubled, the kinetic energy is
mv 2 quadrupled.
KE =
2 2. Kinetic energy must always be zero
(1000 kg )(15 m s )
2
or positive.
= 3. Kinetic energy is not a vector.
2 Wherever you throw a ball, it will
= 112,500 J always have the same kinetic
or energy.
112.5kJ
12
Lesson 3: Potential Energy
The energy is gained by the object when lifted and it loses energy when it fails.
The energy gained or lost by the object is called Potential Energy (PE). It is a
stored energy due to the position or state of an object. Anything possesses
potential energy. It is expressed in symbol as
F = w = mg
The work done in lifting the pile of book is W = Fd = mgh . The work done in lifting
an object is equal to the potential energy gained by the object.
PE = mgh
Sample problem:
A 63-kg man climbs on a hill that is about 3.6 m high. What is its potential
energy?
Given :
m = 63kg
h = 3.6m
PE = mgh
(
= (63kg ) 9.8 m
s2
)(3.6m)
PE = 222.64 J
13
Consider this!
There are two main types of potential energy:
Let’s take this as an example! A cyclist moves downhill. At the top of the hill, the
cyclist’s potential energy is at its maximum. As he moves downhill, his potential
energy decreases while his kinetic energy increases. At the bottom of the hill,
the kinetic energy is at its maximum while its potential energy is at its minimum.
Clearly, the Law of conservation of mechanical energy is evident in this case.
The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.

Generalization
❖ If you pushed a wall and it does not move, you do not do any work at
all because the wall stays in place. There is no displacement
produced.
❖ If you kicked a stone, you do work on the stone. Since you used your
energy to move the stone (Kinetic Energy).
❖ When you lift your bag form the chair, you increase the potential
energy of the bag.
2. Kinetic Energy
❖ Energy is the ability to do work.
❖ The energy of a moving object is called energy on motion or
kinetic energy (KE).
❖ The term kinetic comes from the Greek work kinetikos which
means moving. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is the
energy it possesses due to its motion.
❖ The formula used in solving Kinetic Energy is:
3. Potential Energy
❖ The energy is gained by the object when lifted and it loses energy
when it fails.
❖ The energy gained or lost by the object is called Potential Energy
(PE). It is a stored energy due to the position or state of an object.
❖ Anything possesses potential energy. It is expressed in symbol
as PE = mgh
where m= mass, g= acceleration due to gravity and h=height
