1. WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
4.1 INTRODUCTION
In our daily life we talk about the terms work, energy, power etc.,
we need energy to do work. In normal life any physical or mental
activity is termed, as work done. We also say that the one who can
do more work has more energy. Thus the definition of energy is
dependent on work. Living beings have to perform several basic
activities to survive. The energy for these processes comes from
food.We needenergyforother activitieslikeplaying,singing,reading,
writing, thinking, jumping, cycling and running.Activities that are
strenuous require more energy.

4.2 WORK
In our day-to-day life, the word work means any kind of mental and physical activity. For example , we
say that we are doing work while reading a book, walking a level road with a box on our head, pushing a
wall etc. But in scientific terms no work is done in these cases.
In physics work is done if a force applied on a body displaces the body in its own direction.
In other words the conditions, which must be satisfied for the work done, are:
(a) A force must act on the body
(b) The body must be displaced from one position to another.
“Work is said to be done by a force on a body if the force applied causes a displacement in the
body.”
Work done is directly proportional to the applied force (F).
W F
Work is also directly proportional to the distance travelled by the body (in direction of applied force) or
displacement
W S
4.2.1 Work done by constant force
W = F × S
Unit = N × m or joule. It is a scalar quantity.
S
F
1 J = 1 N × 1 m
Thus 1 joule of work is done when a force of 1 N displaces
a body by 1m.
So, we see that work done is equal to the product of the magnitude of the applied force and the distance
travelled by the body.
Illustration 1
A force of 10 N acts on an object. The displacement is 4 m in the direction of the force. What is the
work done?
Solution
Work done W = F × S
10 N × 4m = 40 N – m or 40 Joule
*4.2.2 Work done when force is acting at some angle
If F is the force acting on any body at any angle with the horizontal. The horizontal component of the
force is F cos and the component in vertical direction is F Sin , since the block moves in the horizontal
direction so only horizontal component of force contributes to the work done.

3. W = F cos × S
Now let us consider the following cases.
Case–1: If 0 < 90º cos is positive
Work done is positive
S
F
Case–2: If = 90º cos 90º = 0
Work done is zero
Case–3: If 90° < 180° cos is negative
Work done is negative.
Illustration 2
A force of 40 N acts on a toy at an angle of 60°. The toy moves for a distance of 12 m calculate the
amount of work done.
Solution
Component of force on horizontal direction = 40 cos 60°
Displacement = 12 m
Work done = 40 cos 60° × 12
= 40 (1/2) × 12 = 240 J
Try yourself
1 A work of 720 J is done when a body is displaced by 36 cm. Calculate the force responsible for this.
2 A force F = 90 N is applied in horizontal direction. Calculate the work done by it is vertical direction.
3 A force 30 N is applied on a body at an angle of 45º with the horizontal. It does a work of 900 N & 450 N
is horizontal & vertical directions respectively. Calculate the distance travelled in each direction.
4.3 ENERGY
We often say that one man is stronger then the other or has more energy than the other. Thus we compare
the amount of work both can do. The person with more energy can do more work.
“The capacity to do work is known as energy”. Anything which can do work has energy. The energy
possessed by an object is measured in terms of its capacity of doing work. The unit of energy is, therefore,
the same as that of work, that is, joule (J). 1 J is the energy required to do 1 J of work. The amount of
energy possessed by a body is equal to the amount of work it can do. Energy is a scalar quantity.The
various types of energy are
(i) Mechanical Energy: The energy by the virtue of which a body can do some mechanical work
directly is known as mechanical energy. It is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy.
(ii) Heat or Thermal Energy: The energy possessed by a body due to temperature is known as heat or
thermal energy.
(iii) Chemical energy: The energy released in chemical reactions is known as chemical energy.
(iv) Sound energy: The energy of a vibrating body producing sound is known as sound energy.
(v) Electrical energy; The energy of moving electrons in a conductor connected with a battery is known
as electrical energy.
(vi) Solar energy: The energy raidated by the sun is known as solar energy.
(vii) Nuclear energy: The energy released when 2 nuclei of light elements combine with each other to
form a heavy nucleus or when heavy nucleus breaks into 2 light nuclei is known as nuclear energy.

4. 4.4 KINETIC ENERGY (K.E.)
“The energy possessed by a body virtue of its motion is known Kinetic energy”. Flowing water
from a dam can run a turbine to generate electricity, the flowing wind can uproot big trees or can run the
blades of windmill and can be used for producing electricity or for doing some mechanical work. When a
moving object hits another stationary object, it is displaced from its position. It means, the moving object
has done work on the stationary block. So, the moving object has energy which is known as kinetic
energy.
Consider a body of mass m at rest. Let a force F is applied on the body so that the body attains a velocity
v after travelling a distance s.
Work done W = Fs .....(i)
Also the velocity of body changes from 0 to v, so the body is accelerated. Then by Newton’s II law
F = ma
Therefore
W = (ma)s .....(ii)
Now

This work done is the kinetic energy of the body.

4.6 WORK ENERGY THEOREM
Work energy theorem states that–
“Work done by a force on a body is equal to change in kinetic energy of the body.”
Consider a body of mass m moving with initial velocity ‘u’. Let a force F be applied so that velocity
changes to ‘v’ while travelling a distance s.
Work done W = F × s .....(i)
Since velocity of body changes while travelling.
acceleration acts on it
Then by newton’s II law
F = ma .....(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
W = (ma)s .....(iii)
also v2
– u2
= 2as
s =

W = Final, K.E. – Initial K.E. = change in K.E.
= K.E.
Thus work done by a force is equal to change in KE of the body.
4.7 POTENTIAL ENERGY (U)
Anything which possesses energy has a capability to do work. When a hammer is lifted to a height & then
allowed to fall on a nail on a wooden surface we see that the nail goes inside the wood.
This shows that the hammer gained some energy when it was lifted.
This energy was required to drag the nail inside the wooden block.
“The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or shape or configuration is known as
potential energy.
4.7.1 Gravitation Potential Energy
The potential energy of a body by virtue of its height above ground level is called gravitational potential
energy.
4.7.2 Elastic Potential Energy
The potential energy of a body by virtue of its configuration is

7. known as elastic potential energy.
Eg: Energy attained by an arrow when it is stretched backwords.
4.8 POTENTIAL ENERGY OF ANY OBJECT AT ANY HEIGHT (h)
The work done in lifting an object of mass ‘m’ against force of gravity through a certain height (h) is equal
to the potential energy of the object at height h.
consider a body of a mass m at a height ‘h’.
Force on the body = weight
F = mg
distance travelled s = h (height)
Now W = F × s = mg × h
ground
h
Gravitational potential energy = mgh
Note that:
GPE h (height of the object)
GPE m (mass of the object)
4.8.1 Law of conservation of energy
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another”.
It means energy in a system is always conserved.
Now we know that
Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
Now if no external force is acting, mechanical energy remains
conserved in a system.
i.e. M.E.i
= M.E.f
K.E.i
+ P.E.i
= K.E.f
+ P.E.f
Simplest example is when a body at height ‘h’ is released.
Consider a body at height ‘h’ at rest shown in (figure-1).
ground
PE = mgh
KE = 0
h
(figure-1)
PE of body = mgh
KE = 0 (body is at rest)
Total energy = mgh + 0 = mgh ..(i)
Now, the body is released from rest
Let the object falls through a height x (< h)
as shown in (figure-2)
height above ground= h–x
PE = mg (h – x)
Now velocity of body
v2
– u2
= 2gh
v2
– 0 = 2gx
v2
= 2gx

PE of the body.

2

Total mechanical energy = PE + KE
= 0 + mgh
= mgh .....(iii)
Thus, from equation (i), (ii) and (iii), we see that the total mechanical energy of the body remains same at
all positions of its motion i.e. the energy is always conserved.
*4.8.1 Potential Energy stored in a spring
Consider a spring of stiffness k
Now, if the spring is stretched or compressed by any distance x.
The spring applies force in the direction opposite to the direction in which it is
displaced from its normal position.

An object of mass 5 kg is kept at a height of 100 m. What is its potential energy? If it is dropped,
what will be its kinetic energy just before hitting the ground?
Solution
At height 100 m
P.E. = mgh = 5 × 10 × 100 5000 J
Now by law of conservation of energy.
K.E.i + P.E.i = K.E.f + P.E.f
K.E.i = 0 as u = 0
& P.E.f = 0 as h = 0
0 + P.E.i = K.E.f + 0
0 + 5000 = K.E.f + 0
K.E.f = 5000 J

10. 4.9 POWER (P)
It is usually said that one man is more powerful than the other. It means that first one has more energy
than the other. It also means that he can do the same work in lesser amount of time than the other. Thus
power is described not only in terms of work done but also in terms of time taken to do it.
“Power is defined as the rate of doing work.”
Power (P) =
work done(W)
time taken(t)
=
energy supplied
time
also W = F × s & Velocity = displacement / time V = s/t
P =
F × s
t
P = F × v
Power = applied force × velocity attained.
Unit of power =

time
= J/s = Watt
1 Watt = 1 J/s
Thus, 1 Watt of power is delivered when 1J work is done in 1s.
The unit of power in british engineering system is horse power, hp.
1 hp = 746 W
4.9.1 Commercial unit of energy: Kilowatt hour (kwh)
The commercial unit of energy is kilowatt hour. It is the energy consumed by a machine in 1 hour.
1 kw H = 1 kw × 1 hr = 1000 Watt × 1 hour
= 1000 J/s × 60 s × 60 s

*4.10 THE EQUIVALENCES OF MASS & ENERGY
Einstien proposed a theory which relates mass to energy. He proposed that in every physical & chemical
process, the mass of an isolated system is conserved. He showed that mass & energy are equivalent &
are related by
E = mc2
C = speed of light in vacuum
= 3 × 108
m/s
This explains the huge amount of energy released in nuclear processes fission and fusion.
Even 1 gm of matter produces huge amount of energy

*4.11 COLLISION
In physics we study motion.At the same time, we try to discover physical quantities, which do not change
in a physical process. The laws of momentum & energy conservation are typical examples. In this section
we shall study & apply these laws to a commonly encountered phenomenon namely collisions. Several
games such as billiards, marbles or carrom involve collisions.
Consider two bodies of masses m1
& m2
moving with velocities V1
& V2
respectively.
