Work
![Page 7: Welcome to LEGO Energy Mathematics & Science Center](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681363b550346895d9db674/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Work
• Force is applied over a distance
• Force is a “push” or “pull”
• Use math to calculate• Work =
Force x Distance

Energy
• Ability to do work• Different kinds of
energy
Electricity
Mechanical
Light
Sound
etc.

Electricity• Conductor – carries an
electric current
• Insulator – does not carry an electric current

Recap
• Work
= Force x Distance
![Page 22: Welcome to LEGO Energy Mathematics & Science Center](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681363b550346895d9db674/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Recap
• Work
= Force x Distance• Energy is capacity to
do work
![Page 23: Welcome to LEGO Energy Mathematics & Science Center](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681363b550346895d9db674/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Recap
• Work
= Force x Distance• Energy is capacity to
do work• RCX Brick will
release the same amount of energy each time
