Work
The product of displacement and the force acting in the direction of the displacement.
Unit: joule ( J ) or Nm• James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) known for his mechanical equivalent of heat experiments

Work, Energy and PowerWork, Energy and Power
Energy
It is hard to measure, can be transferred between objects and can change form.
• Atoms, kicking a ball, wind to electric to light, etc.
A scalar quantity, may be positive or negative and has units of joules like work.

Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) depends on the position of the object relative to an arbitrary point where the object’s GPE = 0.
• It can be positive or negative• GPE = m g y
Other forms: springs, rubber bands, food, …

Work and Gravitational Potential Energy
An object’s GPE will change if work is done against gravity or by gravity.
• Lifting a ball: work done against gravity or +GPE
• Drop a ball: work done by gravity or –GPE

Kinetic Energy
The energy of motion
It is always positive: KE = ½ m v2

Work, Energy and PowerWork, Energy and Power
Power
The rate at which work is done
Unit: watts (W) or J/s• Horsepower (hp) is still used for
engines• 1 hp = 746 W• James Watt (1736-1819) improved the
steam engine

Work, Energy and PowerWork, Energy and Power
Conservative and Non-conservative Forces
Conservative: gravity• Path independent
Non-conservative: kinetic friction, air resistance
• Path dependent
Example: designing roller coasters04/20/2304/20/23 APHY101APHY101 88

Machines
They multiply forces, not energy !!!
Work input = Work output• Assumes thermal losses are small
Examples: ramps, levers, pulleys
