Work, Energy, and Power INTRODUCTION Almost all the terms we have used thus far—velocity, acceleration, force, and soon—convey a similar meaning in physics as they do in everyday life. Now, however, we encounter «term whose meaning in physics is distinctly different fom its everyday meaning: work Inscience and technology, the conservation of energy (energy balance) plays a significant role. While designing a machine (motor, generator, automobiles ec), the design engineer and R&D scientists must account forall sorts of energy transformations happening within the system. The loss of mechanical energy is accountable for the efficiency ofthe system, A ast, we define power which explains us why itis easier to do any work taking more time rather than doing the total work rapidly (in lesser time). Power supplied (input power), power consumed (output-power), and power loss (radiation, et.) are the key points (factors) 1 be accounted forthe world of science and technology. “ORK DONE BY A FORCE Letaconstant force F be applied on the body such that it makes an angle @ with the horizontal and body is displaced through a distance s.

A block of mass misplaced on the block of mass Mas shown in Fig. 821, The horizontal force F acts on M. The horizontal surface is smooth, assuming no relative sliding between the blocks. Ifthe lower block moves through a distance x, the upper blocks m will also move through the same distance x, The direction of static friction on the upper block isin forward direction while the direction of static friction ‘on lower block will be in backward direction.

Hence, the total work done by the kinetic friction on the contracting surfaces is negative. If there is no relative sliding, the friction changes from kinetic to static. Hence, the ‘overall work done by stati friction is zero, That means, static Jriction performs a positive work on one surface and equal negative work on the other surface, summing up we find zero 4a whole.
