8.1 Work
The technical meaning of work requires that work must be done by
one object on another object.
Example 1
Find the amount of work done by a worker lifting 225 N of bricks to a height of 1.75 m
How to determine the work when the force is not applied in the
direction of the motion??
Consider a block being pulled by a rope with a force F that makes an
angle with level ground as shown
1) Draw the horizontal component Fx
and complete the right triangle.
2) Note that Fx is the force in the
direction
of the motion.
3) From the right triangle we have
That is, when the applied force is not in the direction of the
motion, the work done is

8.3 Energy
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. The unit
of energy is the joule (J)
There are many forms of energy, such as mechanical, electrical,
thermal, fluid, chemical, atomic, and sound (acoustic) energy.
Mechanical energy
Potential
is the stored energy of a body due
to its internal characteristics or its
position
Kinetic
is the energy due to the mass and
the velocity of
a moving object
Gravitational potential
Energy
is determined by the position of an
object relative to a particular reference
level;
for example, a rock lying on the edge of a clif
