WORK, POWER, AND SIMPLE MACHINES
DO NOWS Write a list of 10 examples your idea of
work. What do all of these have in common? What do they require? How do you assess if work is done?
What is work? What is the formula? What are the SI units for work and what
do they represent?
WHAT IS WORK? Work is done only when a force moves
an object A force acting on an object and causing
it to move a distance is work Not every force is work..if you push
against the wall it does not move..that is not work!
Work = force X distance Work is measured in Joules
What is a joule exactly? (derive it)
If you pick up a bag of groceries and walk across the room the work is picking up the groceries not the walking.
The object must move some distance as a result of your force
The force you exert must be in the same direction as the objects motion.
Ie: the groceries
You walk

WHAT’S WORK? A scientist delivers a speech to an
audience of his peers. A body builder lifts 350 pounds
above his head. A mother carries her baby from
room to room. A father pushes a baby in a carriage. A woman carries a 20 kg grocery
bag to her car?

WHAT’S WORK? A scientist delivers a speech to an
audience of his peers. No A body builder lifts 350 pounds
above his head. Yes (Already in her arms) A mother
carries her baby from room to room. No
A father pushes a baby in a carriage. Yes
A woman carries a 20 kg grocery bag to her car? No
HOW CAN WE CALCULATE WORK?? Work can be determined by calculating Force used x distance moved = amount
of work
Therefore what is the formula for work?
CALCULATIONS Work = force x distance Joule – is the SI unit for work. Newton = force Meters = distance Therefore if you exert: 1 Newton of force for 1 meter of
distance = 1 joule of work or 1N/m
Work is done when a force is exerted through a distance.
A student lifts a bag of books that weighs 135 N. If the bag is lifted .75 m, how much work does the student do?
F = 135 N d = .75 mW = FdW = (135 N)( .75 m)W = 101.25 J

POWER Power tells you how fast something is
happening..how fast the work is being done
Power = work/time or Power = Force X Distance
Time Power is measured in watts (W) One watt is equal to 1 joule per second of
work divide joules/seconds
Power – the rate at which energy is transferred.
P = W P = power
Watts t W = work
Joules t = time seconds 1 Watt (W) = 1 J/s
HOW MUCH POWER MUST A MOTOR HAVE TO OPERATE A PUMP THAT RAISES 1500 KG OF WATER EVERY MINUTE A DISTANCE OF 12 M?
1. WDIK- m = 1500 kg t = 60 sd = 12 m
2. Equations- P = W/t W = Fd F = mg 3. Plug and chug- F = mg = (1500 kg)(9.8 m/s2) =
14,700 N W = Fd = (14,700 N)(12 m) = 1.76
x 105 J
P = W/t = (1.76 x 105 J)/(60 s) = 2940 W

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE - Demo: Use a ramp and 4 books and a spring scale and measure distance to move the 200g mass up vertically and horizontally on a rampCreate a data table use books as height w/ 200g hanging mass
1st Write a hypothesis –more –less- the same-work 2nd calculate the work for 1. vertically-straight up
2. up the ramp
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE Mechanical Advantage – when you
increase distance you decrease force but the work remains the same.
Machines – Multiply force redirect force- ie: pull down rope –lifts sail
work equation- force x distance = work
Machines do not increase the amount of work. They spread out the distance so you don’t have to use the same amount of force to receive the same amount of work.
Prove it: Work 32 J = work 32
J Force x distance force x
distance 8N x 4 m 4 N x 8 m
Ideal Mechanical advantage = ratio between output force and input force or output distance and input distance without friction
If you have force information use: Output force /Input force = MA
If you have distance information use: Input distance/output distance =
MA
Mechanical advantage – multiplying force if you need 3200 N to lift a piano then use a ramp to exert 1600 N of force.
OF 3200N = 2 the ramp doubled your
IF 1600N force. Your output force is 2x your input force.
MA- is 2 no units
Mechanical Advantage – multiplying distance -you use a ramp that is 6 meters long to raise a piano 3 meters
ID- 6 meters = 2 the ramp doubled
OD 3 meters the distance
mechanical advantage of two

MACHINES An instrument that makes work easier
is called a machine Machines do not have to be complex
electrical or gas powered deviced. Even simple objects can be a machine.
A pair of pliers would make it easier to take out a bolt so the pliers would be a machine
MACHINES CONT. There are two types of work involved in
using a machines: Work that goes into the machine (input) Work done by the machine (output)Work that comes out of the machine is
NEVER greater than the force that is applied to the machine or work that goes into the machine
MACHINES CONT. Machines make work easier because they
change either the size or the direction of the force put into the machine.
Machines multiply either the force or distance to make work easier, but never both!
The comparison of the work output to the work input is called efficiency.
The closer the amount of output is to the amount of input the more efficient the machine is.
EFFICIENCY CONT.
Efficiency is measured in percent and is never more than 100%. This is because the output can never be more than the input
The lower the friction of the machine the more efficient it will be. Keeping a car engine oiled makes it work better and more efficient
Efficiency – a measure of how much work that is put into a machine is changed to useful work; answer will be a percentage.
efficiency = Wout x 100% Win Win = work put into the machine Wout = work put out by the
machine
Wout = Frdr Fr = resistance/output force
dr = resistance/output distance
Win = Fede Fe = effort/input force de = effort/input distance For an ideal machine: Win = Wout Fede = Frdr
A worker applies an effort force of 20 N to pry open a window with a resistance force of 500 N. Find the mechanical advantage of the crowbar.
Fe = 20 N Fr = 500 N MA = ?
MA = Fr = 500 N Fe 20 N MA = 25
Find the effort force needed to lift a 2000 N rock, using a jack with a mechanical advantage of 10.
Fr = 2000 N MA = 10 Fe = ?
MA = Fr / Fe
Fe = Fr / MA Fe = (2000 N)/(10) Fe = 200 N
SIMPLE AND COMPOUND MACHINES There are six types of simple machines:
Inclined plane Wedge Screw Lever Pulley Wheel and axle
INCLINED PLANE, WEDGE, SCREW A ramp is an example of an inclined
plane Simply put in inclined plane is a flat
slanted surface A wedge is an inclined plane that
moves and is usually made up of 2 inclined planes
The screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a center bar
LEVER AND PULLEY A lever is a rigid bar that pivots or moves
around a fixed point. A seesaw is an example
Fulcrum is the fixed point of a lever A pulley is a rope, belt or chain wrapped
around a grooved wheel A pulley can change the direction of a
force or the amount of a force When you use a pulley you change the
direction of the force you are applying.
WHEEL AND AXLE A wheel and axle is a simple machine
made up of two circular objects of different sizes
The wheel is the larger object the axle is the smaller one
Bicycle is an example of a wheel and axle.. The bike wheel is the large while and the sprocket the chain wraps around is the axle
