·         4.10 understand that work done is equal to energy transferred

PFY p.112

1)A. Joules, force, distance

b)Newton, meter, force

d) Energy transferred

2) Wd= f x d

    Wd= 5 x 2

    Wd=10J

4)Wd= f x d

    Wd= 500N x 40m

    Wd=20000J = 20kJ

Collins p. 91

Wd= f x d

50000= 4000 x d

D= 50000/4000

D=12.5m

·         4.9 recall and use the relationship between work, force and distance moved in the direction of the force:

       work done = force × distance moved         

Wd = F × d

Tell the person next to you...

·         Imagine pushing a king sized bed from one side of the classroom to the other

·         Would it make you feel tired? 

o    Yup!

·         Would you have to work hard to push it?

o    Yup!

·         What could you change so you have to do less work pushing?

o    Anything that decreases the force needed (reduce friction by putting wheels on it, ice under it, etc)

o    Anything that decreases the distance travelled (only push it half way!, etc)

o    So the formula for work must contain force and distance
