Study Notes

Chapter 6: Work and Energy

  • Work is defined as the ability of an object or system to perform work.

  • Work is done when a force is exerted on an object and the object moves a distance in the direction of the force.

  • Work = Force × Distance

  • The SI unit of work is the Joule (J), which is equal to 1 Newton-meter (N⋅m).

  • Work is only done when the object moves in the direction of the force.

Energy

  • Energy is the capacity to do work.

  • Individuals use devices and tools that consume energy.

  • Examples of devices and tools that consume energy include refrigerators, lights, cars, trucks, planes, trains, and mobile phones.

  • Humans also consume energy through food.

  • Society's advancement can be measured by its energy consumption.

Kinetic Energy

  • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of an object.

  • Kinetic energy depends on the speed of the object and its mass.

  • Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × speed² (KE=1/2×m×v²)

  • If two objects have the same mass, then the faster object has more kinetic energy. If two objects have the same speed, the more massive object has more kinetic energy.

Potential Energy

  • Potential energy is energy that is stored and waiting to be used later.

  • Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object due to its position in a gravitational field

  • Gravitational Potential Energy = mass × gravitational field strength × height (GPE=mgh).

  • Fg = mg where g = 10 m/s² is the acceleration of gravity.

  • The force of gravity is the force of an object acting on the surface of Earth.

Conservation of Energy

  • Matter and energy are neither created nor destroyed, just transformed from one form to another, or from one object to another.

  • If a system does not interact with its environment (isolated system), then its total energy remains constant.

  • The conservation of energy is analogous to the law of inertia: the motion of an isolated object or system does not change.

Power & Efficiency

  • Power is the rate at which work is done, or the rate at which energy is used.

  • Power is measured in Watts (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s.

  • Power = Work / time (P=W/t).

  • Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work output to the total energy input, expressed as a percentage.

  • Efficiency= output work / input energy × 100%
