PICTURE ANALYSIS: WHAT DOES WORK MEAN?

Can be defined as a
TRANSFER OF ENERGY.
WORK is done on the object
when you transfer energy to
that object.
•Factors affecting work done:
–The application of a force
–The movement of the
object by that force over a
distance
WHEN CAN WE SAY
THAT WORK IS
DONE ON THE
OBJECT?
 1.THE OBJECT MUST
MOVE IN A CERTAIN
DISTANCE AS A RESULT
OF THE FORCE
APPLIED TO THE
OBJECT.
2. THE DIRECTION OF THE
FORCE APPLIED TO THE
OBJECT IS PARALLEL OR
IS THE SAME TO THE
DIRECTION OF THE
MOTION OF THE OBJECT.
WHEN CAN WE SAY
THAT NO WORK IS
DONE ON THE
OBJECT?
ACTIVITY NO. 3
IS THERE WORK
DONE?
Write Work is done
or no work done.

• Work is expressed as: WORK(W)= FORCE(F) X DISTANCE(d)
UNITS:
NEWTON(N) is the
unit used to measure
force
METER(m) is used
to describe distance
JOULE(J) is the
unit of work or
NEWTON٠METER
(N٠m)
THE UNIT, JOULE (J) IS
NAMED AFTER THE
ENGLISH PHYSICIST
JAMES PRESCOTT
JOULE. JOULE IS ALSO
THE UNIT OF ENERGY.
WORK PROBLEM
SOLVING
EXAMPLE NO.1
• Suppose a woman is pushing a
grocery cart with a 500N force
along the 7 meters aisle, how
much work is done in pushing
the cart from one end of the aisle
to the other?
EXAMPLE NO.2

•If 68 Joules of work

were necessary to
move a 4 Newton
crate, how far was the
crate moved?
EXAMPLE NO.2

•A 4000 J of work was

done to move barrel
10m. How much force
in Newton was
