Work is done on an object whenever a force is applied parallel to the displacement.
6.1 – Work Done by a Constant Force
Work = Force x Displacement
Less work is done on the object in bottom figure.

θ = 0°; cosθ =1W = F(s)
θ = 90°; cosθ = 0W = 0
θ = 180°; cosθ = -1W = - F(s)
θ = 270°; cosθ = 0W = 0
Block is moving this way
Person is doing positive work
on the barbell when lifting.
Person is doing negative work
on the barbell when lowering
Work can be positive or negative, but it is NOT a vector.
Work is measured in Joules (Newton-meters) or ft-lbs
1. Lifting a weight up off the floor.
Are you doing work on the object?
2. Pushing a truck as hard as you can but the truck doesn’t move
3. Carrying books across a room.
4. Lowering a barbell during a bench-press rep.
5. Gravity pulling a ball down to earth.
6. Gravity pulling on a book resting a table.

For now, a good way to know if work is done is to see if the PE or KE of the
object is changed.
Work will cause a change in energy of the object.

The Work-Energy Theorem -
A net external force on an object changes the KE of the object.
The change in KE of the object equals the work that was done on the object
W = ΔKE

Gravitational Potential Energy

PE mgh
The work done by gravity does not depend on the path taken, only the
height difference.
The total mechanical energy (E) of an object remains constant, neglecting frictional forces.
E = KE + PE
6. 4 – Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Einitial = Efinal
The Kingda Ka is a giant roller coaster with a vertical drop of 127 m. Suppose that the coaster has a speed of 6.0 m/s at the top of the drop. Neglect friction and air resistance and find the speed of the riders at the bottom in miles/hour

Conservation of Energy Lab
When block is moving up or down at constant velocity, the net force is zero.
Fup = Fgrav + fk Fdown = Fgrav - fk
Fup + Fdown = 2 (Fgrav )
Conservation of Energy Lab
4. Work = Fgrav x length
1. W = mg
2. Fgrav = (Fup + Fdown) /2
3. Fgrav = Wsinθ
5. ΔPE = mgh
6. Workactual = Fup x length
