MODULE 2

WORK AND ENERGY

WHAT IS WORK?
 Has many meaning:
 What is your work?- job or
employment
 I’ll meet you after work -
occupation or undertaking
 Have you done your homework? -
task or activity
 SCIENCE-work is an abstract idea
related to energy .
 When work is done it is
accompanied by a change in
energy.
 When work is done by an object it
loses energy and when work is
done on an object it gains energy.
WORK IS DONE

there must be force applied to it and the

object moves in the direction of the applied
force.
WORK IS DONE
If the object you push moves a distance in the direction towards which you are
pushing it
NO WORK IS DONE
if the force you exert does not make the object move in the same direction as
the force you exerted
NO WORK IS DONE

if the force you exert does not make the object

move in the same direction as the force you
exerted. EXAMPLE : A WAITER CARRYING A TRAY
Tell whether the situations shown below represent
examples of work. Identify the one doing the work
and on which object the work is done
Tell whether the situations shown below represent
examples of work. Identify the one doing the work
and on which object the work is done.
Analysis:
1.Which of the four situations demonstrated or showed that work is
done? Why?
2. Why do you think situation number 3 did not show that no work is
done? Why?
3. What is the effect of the force the object?
4. How will you relate the force and the direction of the motion?
5. When can we say that work is done?
 AGREE OR DISAGREE
Ask the students to take a stand by showing thumbs up or thumbs
down sign with the following statements.
1. Work does not necessarily mean physical labor.
2. If there is displacement in the same direction of the force then
there is work automatically.
3. Work done at a very limited time frame means there is high
power output.
4. If there is no force exerted, there won’t be any work output.
5. If force and distance move at an angle there is work one.
Identify situations in which work is done and in which no work is done.
Write W if the situation shows work and NW if no work
