Work and Energy SUMMARY In physics, a force is said to do work when it acts ‘on a body so that there isa displacement of the point of| application, however small, in the direction ofthe foree. ‘Thus, a force does work when it results in movement ‘and if a force is applied on a body and the body does ‘not move then no work is done at all. For example, on ‘pushing a wall, we do not do any work as wall does not move. Ifthe force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done by the force is zero. ‘Work is measured as the product of force and the displacement in the direction ofthe fore. ie., Work = force * displacement in the direction ofthe force. “The SI nit of work isthe newton-meter or joule (). Ifa body moves through a distance of Im under a force of IN, inthe direction of force, then 1 J of work is said to be done. ‘Work is closely related to energy. Energy is defined as the ability to do work ie. Energy possessed by a body = Total work that the body can do. ‘Both work and energy have the same unit, joule (In our daily life, we use different forms of energy Such that mechanical, chemical, thermal, ight electrical, magnetic, sound, nuclear, etc ‘Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the ‘fotion and position of an object. Potential energy is {he energy possessed by a body by virtue ofits position state. Potential energy of a body, thus depends on sveigit ofthe body (W = mg) and height ofthe body (h) Mave the ground.

Latent heat is the heat released or absorbed by a body during a process that occurs without a change in temperature. There are two types of latent heat, latent heat of fusion of a solid and latent heat of vapourization ofa liquid. Latent heat of fusion of a solid substance is defined as the amount of heat (in joules) required to convert 1 kg of the substance from solid to liquid state at its melting point. Latent heat of vapourization of a liquid is defined as the amount of heat (in joules) required to convert | kg of the substance from its liquid to gaseous state at a constant temperature. Most of the material (except water which contracts on heating from 0°C to 4°C) expands on heating. The increase in the size ofa body on heating is called thermal expansion. Liquids expand more than solids and gases expand very much more than liquids. The linear expansivity of a material is defined as the change in length per unit original length per degree celsius rise in temperature. The volume expansivity of a material may be defined as change in volume per unit original volume per degree celsius rise in temperature. The SI Unit of expansivity is per Kelvin or per degree celsius. Thermal expansion has several applications in everyday life ‘Thermal expansion and contraction is used to join steel plates in ships and boilers firmly together. The bimetallic strip used in a thermostat works on the principle of thermal expansion. Heat energy flows from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature till both of them acquire a thermal equilibrium. The specific heat capacity of a material is defined as the amount of heat (in Joule) required to raise the temperature of Ike mass of that material through 1 K. The SI Unit of specific heat capacity (or simply specific heat) is J ke" K. ae ae
