Work
force is not all that matters
§ 6.1–6.2
What’s the point?
Energy is critically important to Nature.
Objectives
• Relate work to force and distance.
• Calculate the kinetic energy of a moving object.
Work
Formula
W = work = F·s
F = force applieds = displacement
Units of Work
J = Nm = kg m
m =s2
kg m2

joule (J) = 1 newton along 1 meter
Group Work
Estimate the work done by the strong man in the video. Justify your estimates of force and distance.

Example Problem
A luggage handler at the Laramie Airport pulls a 20-kg suitcase from rest up a ramp inclined at 25° above the horizontal with a force of 140 N parallel to the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box is k = 0.30. The suitcase travels 3.80 m along the ramp. Finda. the work done on the suitcase by the handlerb. the work done on the suitcase by gravityc. the work done on the suitcase by the normal forced. the work done on the suitcase by frictione. the total work done on the suitcasef. the final speed of the suitcase

Total (Net) Work
If several forces act on a moving object:
F1
F2
F3
F4
or
• W = (F)·s
• W = (F·s)
Poll Question
To accelerate an object from 10 to 20 m/s requires
A. more work than to accelerate from 0 to 10 m/s.
B. the same amount of work as to accelerate from 0 to 10 m/s.
C. less work than to accelerate from 0 to 10 m/s.

Another Perspective
• So, for the 0–10 vs. 10–20 m/s case:
• If same force, then same time– a’s and v’s are equal, so t’s are equal
• Average speeds are 5 vs. 15 m/s
• The 10–20 m/s case travels 3 as far

Work-Energy Theorem
• If an amount of net work w is done on an otherwise isolated system, the system’s kinetic energy changes by an amount K = w.
