 FLASH BACK

WORK
Work is the product of an applied force(F) and
displacement(s) of a direction of the applied force

Work (W) = Applied force(F) x Displacement(s)

 FLASH BACK

There was no work done when:

a) a force is applied but no displacement occurs

b) an object undergoes a displacement with no applied

force acting on it
 FLASH BACK

ENERGY
Energy can be defined as the capacity to do work
When work is done, energy is transferred from one
form to another
Energy comes in many shapes.
 kinetic energy (KE) where KE = ½ mv2

 potential energy (PE) where PE = mgh

 LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of the lesson, student

should be able to:
Define power and state that P = W/t.
Solve problems involving power

 POWER
Power
Power (P) is work( W) done in unit time (t).

Power, P = Work Done

Time Taken
Power (P) is also energy (E) consumed or generated
per unit time (t).

Power, P = Energy Transformed

Time Taken
 POWER
 Power also can be express in terms of force, F and velocity,v
Power, P = Work Done
Time Taken
= Force x Displacement
Time
= Force x Displacement
Time
= Force x Velocity

Power, P = F x v

______
 UNIT OF POWER
 1W = 1J = 1Js-1
1s
 In measuring power, horsepower (hp) is a unit which is in
common use. (in electrical appliances such as air conditioner)
 This unit was used by James Watt to express the power of his
steam engine in terms of the number of horses the engine
could replace
 However SI unit of power is the watt(W).
 So the first thing to do in solving any problem related to
power is to convert horsepower to Watts.
 1 horsepower (hp) = 746 Watts
 PROBLEMS INVOLVING POWER

Q2: A student of mass 55kg

runs up a flight of 50 steps,
each of 20 cm high as
shown in figure beside.
What is the power
generated by the boy if he
takes 22s to climb to the
top of the stairs? 20cm
(g=10ms ) -2
 PROBLEMS INVOLVING POWER

SOLUTION:
m = 55kg
h = 50 x 20cm
= 1000cm
= 10m
t = 22s

P = mgh = 55kg x 10m/s2 x10m = 250W

t 22s
 PROBLEMS INVOLVING POWER

Q5: A forklift lifting a crate of mass 100 kg at a constant

velocity to a height of 2 m over a time of 4 s. The forklift
then holds the crate in place for 20 s. Given g=10m/s2.

a.How much power does

the forklift exert in lifting
the crate?
b. How much power does
the forklift exert in holding
the crate in place?
 PROBLEMS INVOLVING POWER

SOLUTION:

a. P = Fs = 1000N x 2m = 500W
t 4s

b. Power is measured as work divided by time, and work is

the dot product of force and displacement. While the crate
is being held in the air, it is not displaced, so the
displacement is zero. That means the forklift does no work,
and thus exerts no power.
 LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of the lesson, student

should be able to:
Define power and state that P = W/t.
Solve problems involving power
