Lesson Objectives
O Recall and apply the relationship work
done = force x distance moved in the
direction of the force to new situations or
to solve related problems.
Work Done
O Work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force.
O WD = F x sF = constant force (in N) s = distance moved by the object in the direction of the force (in m)i.e displacement

This is work done against friction as
friction is overcome in order for the file to
move.

Left to right No. No movement
๐๐ท = ๐น ร ๐ = 10 ร 0= 0 ๐ฝ
There is no movement and therefore no
work done.

Lesson Objectives
O Show understanding that kinetic energy,
potential energy (chemical, gravitational,
elastic), light energy, thermal energy,
electrical energy and nuclear energy are
examples of different forms of energy.
Lesson Objectives
O State that kinetic energy ๐ธ๐ =1
2๐๐ฃ2 and
potential energy ๐ธ๐ = ๐๐โ (for potential
energy changes near the Earthโs surface)
O Apply the relationships for kinetic energy
and potential energy to new situations or
to solve related problems
Energy
O Energy is defined as the capacity to do
work.
O SI Unit: joule (J)
O Energy is a scalar quantity.

Types of Energy
Types of Energy
2 main types of energy to be calculated in
this chapter:
O Potential energy (elastic, gravitational and
chemical)
O Kinetic energy
Potential Energy
O Potential Energy is the energy stored in
an object due to its position, state or
shape.
O Elastic potential energy is the energy
stored in the wound up spring or a
stretched rubber band.
Gravitational Potential Energy
O An object placed at a height h from the
ground possesses gravitational potential
energy.
h
ground
Gravitational Potential Energy
O Gravitational potential energy is the
energy which a body possesses because
of its position relative to the ground.
O Formula: ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฌ = ๐๐๐
O m = mass of the object (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (10 N/kg)
h = height above the ground (m)
Gravitational Potential EnergyPractice Qn 1
A girl lifts her school bag of mass 3 kg from the floor
onto her lap through a height of 0.5 m. What is the
gravitational potential energy gained by the bag?

Gravitational Potential EnergyPractice Qn 2
How much gravitational potential energy does a 20 kg
box gain when it is moved from a shelf of 0.3 m high to
a shelf of 1.8 m high?
๐๐๐ = ๐๐๐= ๐๐ ร ๐๐ ร ๐. ๐ โ ๐. ๐= ๐๐๐ ๐
Kinetic Energy
O Kinetic Energy is the energy a body possesses due to its motion.
O Everything that moves has kinetic energy.A stationary object has NO kinetic energy.
O Formula: ๐ฒ๐ฌ =๐

O m = mass of the object (kg)v = velocity of the object (m/s)

about 500 g. If a ball that has been kicked has kinetic
energy of 100 J, calculate the speed of the ball.
