4.15

·         4.15 use the relationship between power, work done (energy transferred) and time taken:

          power = work done            P = Wd

                       time taken                    t

P = Wd / t

P = E / t

 

P = Power (Watts)

Wd = Work Done (Joules)

E = Energy Transferred (Joules)

t = Time (s)

4.14

·         4.14 describe power as the rate of transfer of energy or the rate of doing work

"Rate" just means "divided by time" (see Entrance Activity)

 

So

 

Power = Energy / Time

 

or

 

Power = Work done / Time

4.13

·         4.13 understand how conservation of energy produces a link between gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy and work

4.12

·         4.12 recall and use the relationship:

                 kinetic energy = ½ × mass × speed2

                                 KE = ½ × m × v2

4.11

·         4.11 recall and use the relationship:

   gravitational potential energy = mass × g × height

                              GPE = m × g × h

4.10

1.       Copy and complete these sentences.

a) The work done (measured in JOULES) is equal to the WEIGHT (in Newton’s) multiplied by the DISTANCE moved (in metres).

b) 1 Joule is the work done when a force of one NEWTON moves through a distance of 1 METRE (in the direction of force)

c) Work done =  ENERGY transferred.

2.      A man lifts a parcel weighing 5 Newton’s from the ground to a shelf 2 metres high. How much work does he do on the parcel?

Wd = F * d

Wd = 5 * 2

Wd =  10J

3.      A girl weighing 500N climbs 40m vertically when walking up the stairs in an office block. How much work does she do against gravity? What are the energy transfers here?

Wd= F* d

Wd= 500*4

Wd= 2000J

·         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
