Equations

so far Gravitational Energy Eg = mgh Kinetic Energy Ek = mv2 Elastic Energy Ee = kx2 New concept Work Work is force applied through a distance. New Formula: Work W = F x Basic Calculations: 1. Calculate the work done by a 5 N force that acts through a distance of 4 m 2. A 2 kg mass falls through a distance of 5 m. Calculate the work done by gravity. 3. A 3 kg box slides 4 m to rest. If the coefficient of friction mk is 0.4, calculate the work done by friction.

New concept What work actually does: Work is how Forces transform energy from one form to another. 2nd New Formula W = KE or W = KEf - KEi or W = mvf2 mvi2 Relating this to problem 2: Relating this to problem 3:

Video 1: dumpster jump. 1. What was the work done by gravity if the person fell 1.5 m after landing on the dumpster and had a mass of 70 kg 2. Assuming the person fell from rest at the top of the dumpster. Use the Work Kinetic Energy, to calculate how fast they hit the bottom of the dumpster Video 2: tv theft fail. 1. What was the work done by gravity if the person had a mass of 80 kg and fell 4 m after grabbing the TV ? 2. Assuming the person fell from rest how fast they hit the ground ?

3. Assuming the hit the ground at only 7 m/s, what was the energy by dissipated by air resistance ? 4. What was the average force of air resistance on the person as they fell?

 Video 3: trampoline fail 1. Assuming the spring constant of the trampoline is 2,000 N/m and the compression of the trampoline was 0.6 m. What was the work done by the trampoline? 2. What was the persons launching speed off the trampoline if they had a mass of 60 kg? Last concept Power Power is the work done divided by the time it takes. P = W/t or P = Fd/t or P= Fv To understand power we will do a minilab with two scenarios 1. grab a ruler 2. measure the height of one step in m 3. climb from the second floor up to the 6th floor timing yourself. 4. Find the work you did against gravity to climb to the 6th floor (W=Fy) 5. Calculate the power you exerted 6. Now time yourself riding the elevator from the 2nd to the 6th floor and calculate the power used. Scenario 1 t = Scenario 2 t = W = Scenario 1: P = Scenario 2: P =
