Study Notes
Work and Energy
- Work is different in everyday life and science.
- Everyday life: any useful physical or mental activity is considered work.
- Science: work is done only when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
- Two conditions for work to be done:
- A force acts on an object
- The object is displaced.
- Work is a scalar quantity (only magnitude, no direction).
- If a force is applied, but the object doesn't move, no work is done.
- Work is measured in Joules (J). 1 J = 1 Nm.
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
- Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and the square of the velocity of an object.
- Formula: KE = ½mv².
- KE =(work done)
- The kinetic energy of an object increases with its speed.
Potential Energy
- Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
- Gravitational potential energy = mgh where:
- m = mass
- g = acceleration due to gravity
- h = height above some reference point.
- Potential energy is also associated with stretched or compressed objects (elastic potential energy).
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- The sum of potential and kinetic energy of an object remains constant, in the absence of external forces such as air resistance.
Power
- Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Formula: Power = Work/Time
- Unit: Watt (W) or Joule per second (J/s).
- 1 kW = 1000 W
- 1 kWh = 3.6 x 10⁶ J. (a commercial unit of energy).
