Study Notes

Work and Energy

  • Work (W) is a scalar quantity and is calculated as W = F.Δr.
  • The unit of work is a joule (J), which is equivalent to N·m or kg·m²/s².

Energy

  • Energy has the same unit as work, which is a joule (J).
  • Energy storage mechanism is called potential energy.

Kinetic Energy

  • Kinetic energy (K) is calculated as K = mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
  • Example: K = 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg, v = 1.21 × 10⁶ m/s.

Power

  • Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
  • The SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equivalent to J/s or kg·m²/s³.

Human Body Energy

  • In the human body, 10% of energy is used by the kidneys.
  • 27% of energy is used by the liver and spleen.

Hiker Example

  • A 70 kg hiker climbs a mountain 1000 m high, demonstrating the concept of potential energy.
