ENERGY, WORK AND POWER
Hi. It’s Mr. Andersen and today. I’m going to talk about energy, work
and power.
Now what is something that has energy? It’s a pretty big therm. So
what things have energy? Well we would say something in motion or
something due to its position. We could say that electricity is a form of
energy. We could say that matter can contain energy with in is
chemical bonds. Or light has energy. Or sound has energy. So that’s
a lot of different things. What is energy? Energy therefore is the ability
to do work. Well that’s one of those definitions that requires us to dig a
little big deeper. What’s work? Work in science is simply a forces
times a distance. So anything that can apply a force over a given a
distance is said to contain energy. And we measure that in joules. So
work is measured in joules. And so let’s give an example. Let’s say
for example that you want to take a can of Coke and you want to carry
it to the top of a set of stairs. Well than can of Coke has 4.0 newtons

of weight. And let’s say that you have to climb up a set of stairs that is
3.0 meters high.
