Study Notes
Work and Energy
- Work is a concept defined in science differently from everyday use
- Work is done when a force causes a displacement in the same direction as the force
- Â Work is calculated as force multiplied by displacement
- The unit of work is a Joule (J) or Newton-meter (N m)
-  If the force and displacement are not in the same direction, work is calculated using the formula: W = F × s × cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
- Work can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the relationship between the force and displacement.
- Positive work occurs when the force and displacement are in the same direction.
- Negative work occurs when the force and displacement are in opposite directions.
- Zero work occurs when the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other.
- No work is done if there is no displacement, even if there is a force.
Energy
- Energy is defined as the capacity to do work
- Energy is a scalar quantity (has magnitude only, not direction).
- The unit of energy is the same as that of work: Joule (J)
- Various forms of energy exist
- Kinetic energy (energy of motion)
- Calculated from the equation: KE = ½mv² (where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity)
- Potential energy (energy of position or configuration)
- Potential energy due to gravity: calculated by the equation PE = mgh (where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.)
- Kinetic energy (energy of motion)
Power
- Power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy
- Calculated from the equation: Power = Work/Time and unit Watt (W) or Joule/second (J/s)
- The amount of energy used by a device over a specific period of time
