    The document discusses work, energy, and power. It defines work as either the product of force and displacement or a change in energy. Work and energy are measured in joules. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate work done when an object is lifted against gravity or moved horizontally. Work is zero if no displacement occurs or if the force does not act in the direction of displacement. A worksheet provides practice problems calculating work done in various scenarios, such as lifting objects, moving them horizontally, and accelerating them.

    Unit 7: Work, Energy and Power

    1 - Work
    Energy: Work can be defined as either:

    A change in ________ or The product of...


    Work and energy are:

    _______________ values

    Measured in _________________

    In physics we talk about work being done… Ex. If I were to lift the 30.0 kg When an object is lifted
    weight up off the ground to a against gravity the
    Ex. height of 1.5 m, how much work formula:
    ¨ If I hold a 30 kg weight at a height of would be done on the weight? W = Fd
    1.5 m, I’m using energy, therefore...
    ¨ However the work is not being done
    ___ ____ __________, it is being
    done on my muscles.
    ¨ Think of it like this: though I am
    Where: m =
    exerting a ______ on the weight, its
    _______________ is zero, therefore g =
    ______ work is done on it. h =

    Ex. A 10.0 kg pumpkin is moved horizontally 5.00 m at a Ex. A 3.0 kg pineapple is held 1.2 m above the floor for
    constant velocity across a level floor using a horizontal 15 s. How much work is done on the pineapple?
    force of 3.00 N. How much work is done in moving the
    pumpkin?

    Note: Use __________ force, not ________ force Note: No __________________ means no __________

    Ex. A 50.0 kg banana box is pulled 11.0 m along a level Ex. A 1385 kg car traveling at 61 km/h is brought to a
    surface by a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the stop while skidding 42 m. What is the work done on the
    floor of 35o and the tension in the rope is 90.0 N, how car by frictional forces?
    much work is done on the box?

    Note: Use on the _________________ of the force that Note: Work can be _____________ if the force doing
    is in the direction of displacement the work acts in the direction.
    Worksheet 7.1: Work
    1. A 20.0 N pomegranate is lifted at a constant velocity 6. A 60.0 kg student runs at a constant velocity up a flight
    from the floor to a height of 1.50 m. How much work is of stairs. If the height of the stairs is 3.2 m, what is the
    done on the object? work done against gravity?

    2. A 15.0 N potato is moved horizontally 3.00 m across a 7. A 20.0 kg passionfruit is pulled horizontally 9.0 m along
    level floor using a horizontal force of 6.00 N. How much a level frictionless surface at a constant velocity. How
    work is done on the potato? much work is done on the passionfruit?

    3. A 2.20 N pear is held 2.20 m above the floor for 10.0 s. 8.


    10.0 m
    How much work is done on the pear? 7.0 m

    An 80.0 kg pumpkin is pushed up at a constant velocity


    along a frictionless incline as shown in the diagram. How
    much work is done on the pumpkin in moving it up the
    4. A 10.0 kg pink grapefruit is accelerated horizontally incline?
    from rest to a velocity of 11.0 m/s in 5.00 s by a horizontal
    force. How much work is done on the pink grapefruit
    assuming no friction?

    9. A 25.0 kg pickle is accelerated from rest through a


    distance of 6.0 m in 4.0 s across a level floor. If the
    friction force between the pickle and the floor is 3.8 N,
    5. what is the work done to move the object?

    A 90.0 N box of papayas is pulled 10.0 m along a level


    surface by a rope. If the rope makes an angle of 20.0o
    with the surface, and the force in the rope is 75.0 N, how
    much work is done on the box? 10. A 1165 kg car traveling at 55 km/h is brought to a stop
    while skidding 38 m. Calculate the work done on the car
    by the friction forces.
