What Are Work And Energy ?
Work
- When the force acts on an object or body and the object or body moves or shows displacement, then the force has done some work on the object or body.
- Mathematical formula: W = F × S or Work done = Force × Displacement
- If the displacement is zero, then work done will also be zero, W = 0.
- If work done is in the direction of force, then W = F × S.
- If work done is in the direction opposite to the force, then W = –F × S.
- Work done has only magnitude but no direction (scalar quantity)
- SI unit = Joule.
- 1 Joule = 1 Newton × 1 meter
- 1 Joule work is said to be done when 1 Newton force is applied on an object and it shows the displacemnt by 1 meter.
Energy
- Capacity of a body to do work.
- SI unit: Joule
Various Forms of Energy
| Potential Energy (PE) | Kinetic Energy |
|
|
|
|
| where m = mass of object | where m = mass of object or body |
| g = gravity | v = speed of object or body |
| h = height of object |

Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
- Sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called its mechanical energy.
Total Energy (Before transformation) = Total Energy (After transformation)
