Definition: An energy transfer that occurs when a force acts on an
object that moves.
Scalar quantity
SI unit: Joule (J) / Nm / kgm2s-2
Work done by a constant force; 𝑊 = 𝐹𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑠
𝑊 = 𝐹𝑛𝑒𝑡 𝑠 cos 𝜃
Where 𝐹𝑛𝑒𝑡 = magnitude of total force
s = displacement of the object
θ = angle between F and s

𝐹 𝑠
1st case: the displacement is at the same direction with force (𝜃 = 0°)
W = Fs cos (0°)
Thus; 𝑊 = 𝐹𝑠
2nd case: the displacement in opposite direction with force

𝑠 𝐹
W = Fs cos (180°)
W = - Fs (negative work done)
𝜃 𝑠
You push your physics reference book 1.50 m along a horizontal table with a
horizontal force of 5.00 N. The frictional force is 1.60 N. Calculate
a. the work done by the 5.00 N force,
b. the work done by the frictional force,
c. the total work done on the book.
EXAMPLE 2: 10
A box of mass 20 kg moves up a rough plane which is inclined to the horizontal at
25°. It is pulled by a horizontal force F of magnitude 250 N. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the box and the plane is 0.300.
b) If the speed of the box is zero at the bottom of the plane, calculate its speed when
it is travelled 3.80 m.
(Given g = 9.81 ms-2)

An object of mass 2.0 kg moves along the x-axis and is acted on by a force F. Figure
above shows how F varies with distance traveled, s. The speed of the object at s = 0
is 10 m/s.
Determine
a. the speed of the object at s = 10 m,
b. the kinetic energy of the object at s = 6.0 m.

PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF 20
ENERGY
“In an isolated (closed) system, the total energy of that system is
said to be constant”.
Σ 𝐸𝑖 = Σ 𝐸𝑓
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
“In an isolated system, the mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its
potential energy, U and the kinetic energy, K of the objects are constant.”
𝐸 =𝐾+𝑈
𝐾𝑖 + 𝑈𝑖 = 𝐾𝑓 + 𝑈𝑓

EXAMPLE 9: 23
A 40-g object starting from rest falls through a vertical distance of 25 cm and
reached the ground. Find:
a)The kinetic energy at final position
b)The velocity of the object just before it hits the ground.
EXAMPLE 10: 24
Consider a ball of mass 2 kg rolling on a smooth surface as in figure below.
a)If the ball starts from rest at point A, find its speed at point B
b)If the ball reach at point C with speed 5 m/s, what must have been its
initial velocity at point A?
