 4.1 WHAT IS WORK ?
 Definition - The product of force and the distance moved in the
direction of the force.

 SI Unit – Joule (J) or Newton Meter (Nm)

 Work is a SCALAR QUANTITY

(direction doesn’t count)
i) When the direction of force, F and the distance, s
are the same.

Work Done, W = Fs
ii) Work is NOT DONE when there is no motion
or the force, F is perpendicular to the
distance, s (θ = 90°) .

Work Done, W = 0
 iii) If the force, F at an angle, θ to the distance, s.

Work Done, W = Fs cos θ

The object does not move in the direction of , F. Instead, the

horizontal component of the force, F cos θ, moves the object on
the surface of the floor.
Is Work Done on the Following Activity?
 EXAMPLE 4.1
a) Adreanna pushed a box of toys on the floor with a force
of 25 N for a distance of 7m. Calculate the work done by
adreanna.
Answer

b) Nasri pulled a box with a force of 30N at an angle of 50º

to the floor. Calculate the work done by Nasri if he pulled
the box for a distance of 10m.

 WHAT IS ENERGY ?
 Definition - the capacity to do work.
 SI Unit – Joule (J)

 Energy is a SCALAR QUANTITY.

 Energy can be stored and converted to one another.
 Work is done when energy is converted.
4.2 RENEWABLE AND
NON RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable Energy Non Renewable
Energy
Definition energy from Energy from
resources that are resources that will
naturally replenished run out as they take
on a human long time to replenish
timescale. in our lifetimes
Resources Solar, wind, Coal, nuclear, oil,
water/hydro, natural gas
biomass, geothermal
4.2 RENEWABLE AND
NON RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable Energy
Advantages • Can never run out as it
continuously filled by
nature
• Easily available to humans
and are reliable
• Environmentally friendly
Disadvantage • Not available round the
s clock and depend strongly
on the weather condition
• Low efficiency when
converted to electricity
Non Renewable Energy
• Power plants that use
them are able to produce
more power on demand
• Easy to use and quite
easy to store
• Conveniently moved
across the world
• Consumes a lot of time
and it takes a lot of effort
• Limited supplies, because
they take a long time to
replenish
• Causes pollution
 Several forms of energy: heat energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, nuclear
energy, electrical energy, etc.
 Potential Energy
 Potential energy : the stored energy of
position possessed by an object.

 Potential energy exists whenever an object

which has mass has a position within a
force field.

Ep = mgh
where: Ep = Potential Energy
m = mass
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.81ms-
2

h = height above earth’s surface

Unit : Joule, J
 Potential Energy
Depends on 2 variables:
i) mass of object
 more massive objects will have greater gravitational
potential energy.

ii) height of object

 the higher that an object is elevated, the greater
the
gravitational potential energy.
Example 4.3.1
a) A 5.5kg cat jumps from the floor onto a table at a height of 100cm.
Determine the potential energy gained by the cat.
Answer

Given:
m=5.5 kg
h=
g=9.81ms-2

Potential energy of the cat,

 Kinetic Energy
 KineticEnergy: energy
possesses by an object
due to its motion.

 Anymoving object
where:
has kinetic energy. Ek = Kinetic Energy
m = mass of the body
v = velocity
 Depends on 2
variables: Unit : Joule, J
• Mass of object
• Velocity of the object
Example 4.3.2

energy of the bullet.

m=
v=200ms-1

 4.3.3 Principle of Conversion of Energy
 Law of conversion of energy state that:
 energy cannot be created or destroyed
energy can be transformed from one form to another
total energy during the transformation is constant

Total energy, ΔE = constant

Total initial energy = Total final energy

 Principle of Conversion of Energy
ENERGY TRANSFORM FROM
POTENTIAL ENERGY KINETIC ENERGY

 Objectof any mass falling vertically

downwards from static, its loss in
potential energy is equal to the amount
of kinetic energy gained, assuming no
energy is lost during the process.

Total potential energy = Total Kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 mv2

 If object is rebound to any height after hitting the ground and left
it, its maximum kinetic energy while moving upwards will be
equal to its potential energy at its maximum height.

1/2 mv2= mgh

 Principle of Conversion of Energy
ENERGY TRANSFORM FROM
POTENTIAL ENERGY KINETIC ENERGY
 For an object that slides down a friction free slope, its
potential energy is equal to its kinetic energy at the bottom.

mgh= 1/2 mv2
