    A 15kg bag of feathers requires 0.5 megajoules of work to lift it 1 meter off the ground. Applying a force of 500 newtons over a distance of 1 meter does more work (5000 joules) than applying a force of 100 newtons over a distance of 40 meters (4000 joules). No work is done if an object is stationary. To do more work, one could lift more bricks at a time with a greater force or lift bricks faster. 1 kilowatt equals 1000 watts and 1 megawatt equals 1000000 watts. If 1000 joules of work is done in 10 seconds, the power is 100 watts. Increasing the rate of work done increases the power.

    15kg bag of feather

    gravity
    Joule (J)

    Work done=energy transferred


    =0.50-0
    =0.50MJ
    W=Fd
    =1X1
    =1J

    W=Fd
    =5X2
    =10J
    W=Fd W=Fd
    =500X10 =100X40
    =5000J =4000J
    500 N through 1m does more work
    None, it is not moving
    • Lift more bricks at a time (greater force)
    • Lift the bricks faster
    1kW=1000W
    1MW=1000000W

    1kW=1000W
    1MW=1000000W
    P=E/t
    =1000/10
    =100 W
    Power is increased
