Where:
work done is measured in joules (J)
force is measured in newtons (N)
distance is measured in metres (m)
W = Fs
100 N
= 100 × 5
= 500 J
W = Fscosθ
10 N
30°
5m
W = Fscosθ
= 10 × 5 × cos30°
= 43.3 J

Investigating work
A bungee jumper’s
gravitational potential energy
is changed into kinetic energy
as they jump, and then stored
as elastic potential energy as
the bungee rope stretches.
ΔEp = mgΔh
= 0.250 × 9.81 × 2
= 4.9 J
Ep = mgh
= 80 × 9.81 × 5
= 3924 J
Where:
loss of Ek = gain in Ep
lose of Ep = gain in Ek
½mv2 = mgΔh
W = ΔEp + ΔEk
Where:
P = Fv
F=p/v
= (200 × 2) / 10
= 40 N
heat energy
(95 W)
