Review the units of work, energy, force, and distance. Use the equations for mechanical energy and work to show what is work and what is not. Make it clear why holding something off the ground or carrying something over a level surface is not work in the scientific sense.

Work, Energy and Power are fundamental concepts of Physics. Work is said to be done when a force (push or pull) applied to an object causes a displacement of the object. We define the capacity to do the work as energy. Power is the work done per unit of time.
4 cze 2024 · Work & Power. The work done by a force is equivalent to a transfer of energy. The units of work done are newton metres. 1 N m = 1 J. The work done by a resultant force on a system is equal to the change in energy in that system. Mechanical work is defined as. The amount of energy transferred when an external force causes an object to move over ...

The work done is given by the dot product of the two vectors, where the result is a scalar. When the force F is constant and the angle θ between the force and the displacement s is also constant, then the work done is given by: If the force is variable, then work is given by the line integral: where is the tiny change in displacement vector.
Explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force. Explain and apply the work-energy theorem.
Power is the rate at which work is done on a system or the rate of energy transfer between systems. Rate refers to the amount of change in some measure of time. 1 Watt = 1 Joule/Second
