Work,
and
Power
Who is work in scientific term?
What is Work?
oWork is said to be done on an object
when a force is exerted to move
the object in the same direction as
the application of force.
.
d
In the same
Work Calculation direction of
force
work= force x distance
W= F x d
SI Unit: F: _____
d: _____
So, SI unit for W: ______
Same as the SI Unit for:______:__________
Work can be zero , when :
1)Force equals zero
2)Distance equals zero (The
object doesn’t move)
3)Direction of force is
perpendicular to the
direction of movement
of the object.

4.A horizontal force F pulls a 10 kg carton across
the floor at constant speed. If the sliding friction
between the carton and the floor is 30N how
much work is done by F in moving the carton by
5m?
Exercise
5. A motor can lift a 2 kg mass through a
vertical distance of 3 m. The total work done
by the motor is ___.
Exercise
6. The figure shows a man is pulling a wooden box with a force
F. The mass of wooden box is 20 kg.
a) What is the work done by the man to pull the wooden block
up the lorry?
b) What is the magnitude of the force F?
Exercise
7. A 10 kg object experiences a horizontal force
which causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s2 , moving it a
distance of 20 m, horizontally. How much work is
done by the force?
Exercise
8.Ben carries a 80 Kg suitcase and up three
flights of stairs (a height of 10.0 m) and then
he walk 2 m along the floor to his room. How
much work is done to carry this suitcase?
Exercise
What is Power?
o Power is the rate at which work is done.
o Which one can do work
faster?
Donkey Man
What is Power?
Power = Work / Time
P = W / t
SI Unit: W: _____
t : _____
So, SI unit for P: ______
1 Watt = 1 ___
What is Power?
In industry , power is often measured
Horse Power
in a unit called _______________.(hp)
1 hp = ________ W
1 hp= ________ kW
Check your understanding
Calculate 5600 W of power into the
unit of horse power
1 hp = ________ W
1W = __________ hps
5600 W = ____________ hps
5600 W = ____________ hps
Check your understanding
If you do 100 joules of work in one second
(using 100 joules of energy). How much
power is used?
Check your understanding
There are a variety of units for power. Which of
the following would be fitting units of power
(though perhaps not standard)? Include all that
apply.
a. Watt
b. Joule
c. Joule / second
d. hp
Exercise
9.) The power of a railway engine is
around 40hp. How much does it work in 1
hour?
Exercise
10.)An 1,900 W engine can accelerate
from rest to the top speed in 9 s. How
much work did the engine do?
Exercise
11). A set of pulleys lift an 800 N crate 4
meters in 7 seconds. What the power was
used?
Exercise
12). A lift can raise 10 people of average
weight 80 kg to a height of 10 m in 20
seconds. Calculate the power generated
by lift. (g= 10 m/s2)
