Study Notes
Power and Work
- Power is defined as the rate at which work is done.
- Work done on an object is the product of force and distance; for instance, lifting a 50kg barbell 2m results in 100 Joules (J) of work.
- Work is accomplished by applying a force to move an object over a certain distance.
Work and Force
- No work is done on a stationary wall, as there is no displacement.
- Calculating work: a force of 5000 Newtons (N) acting over a distance of 20 meters results in 100,000 Joules (J) of work.
Energy Types
- Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy (energy of motion) and gravitational potential energy.
- Gravitational potential energy (PE) can be calculated using the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
- Kinetic energy (KE) can be calculated for a moving object; for a 2.0 kg ball at 4 m/s, KE equals 16 J.
Efficiency and Machines
- Simple machines do not increase the total amount of work done; rather, they make work easier.
- Efficiency refers to the percentage of input work converted to output work, impacting the performance of machines.
- Reducing friction in machines leads to increased efficiency.
Mechanical Systems
- In a closed system, the total sum of mechanical energy remains constant, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Energy.
- There are three classes of levers, which are tools that amplify force.
- An example of a lever is a mop, which can change the direction of applied force.
Inverted Mechanical Advantage
- The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) for a ramp measuring 6m in length and 2m in height is 3.
- For a fishing rod's reel that uses 4 N of force to pull a 24 N fish, the actual mechanical advantage (AMA) is calculated to be 6.
Structural Components
- A tire is classified as a wheel and axle, demonstrating a simple machine.
- The unit of energy is the same as that of work, both measured in Joules.
Power Calculation
- Power output can be evaluated; using 160 Joules of energy in 8 seconds results in a power of 20 Watts (W).
