• Force(N) -is push or pull effect on a
body.
• Work is what happens when you
apply force over a certain distance
to a system.
• A system is a section of the
universe you happen to be talking
about at that time.
Work(w)= Force(F) X Distance(D)
W = 50N X 5m
W = 250Nm
F O R C E A P P L I E D AT A N A N G L E
• In some cases the force is applied
at an angle to the direction of
travel
• To get the work done we resolve
from the force component, since
force is a vector quantity
• Only the x component contribute
work and not the Y component.
=Fsinθ
=Fcosθ
W= Fdcosθ
N.B:
applies for any
scenario with a
constant force
applied over a
certain distnce
W O R K D O N E W I T H
V A R Y I N G F O R C E ?
In a scenario where the force applied
changes with change in distance.
To calculate the workdone, one must
sum up the forces applied over each
small change in distance:
∫
!"
!#
𝐹 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 [assuming force is parallel
to distance moved].
• Work is a scalar quantity; it can be
positive or negative.
W = + W = -
work is negative if the
applied force is in the
direction opposite to the
motion of the object
work is positive if the applied
force is in the direction to the
motion of the object

• Force multiplide by distance is one of the ways a physcist measure work and has a
unit Newton metre, it can also be expressed as Joules(J)
• Joules are often used as a unit of energy.
Work is a change in energy, it explains what happens when an external force is applied
to a system and changes the energy of the system.
Energy can be define as the ability to do work.

• There are different types of energy, eg. Kinetic energy,potential energy, electrical energy, thermal energy , nuclear energy etc.
The two main types of energy; KINETIC ENERGY and POTENTIAL ENERGY
• KINETIC ENERGY
This is the energy a body possess when in motion. E.g. A moving car, moving bullet fired from a gun.
Mathematical expression:
K.E. =
!
"
𝑚𝑣"
m=mass
V=velocity
E.g.
If a box has a mass of 20Kg and at some point while draging it reaches a velocity of 4m/s. what is the kinetic energy?

"

KE= 160J
• POTENTIAL ENERGY
Potential energy is energy that could
be used to do work. Potential energy is
a way of storing energy.
• One common form of potential
energy is Gravitational potential
energy. This arises from the fact that
gravity exists.
• Another form of energy is
elastic/spring potential energy
Examples of Energy storage
• Battery storage
• Thermal storage as in themo flask.
• Hydro storage it utilizes gravitational potential energy

• 𝐹 = 𝑘𝑥 ⇒ Hooke’s law
As you change the shape of a spring so does the force experienced changes.

• When work is done on a system it energy changes how energy
changes depends on a system
• Some sytem loses energy as work is done on them, these energy
are known as NON-CONSERVATIVE SYSTEMS. Eg when friction
draging from a box on a floor generates heat.
• While some systems doesn’t loose energy through work, these
energy are known as CONSERVATIVE SYSTEMS. Eg a simple
pendulum.
• Both systems energy relates to the fundamental principles of
science ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED.

• Energy can neither be created nor destroyed is a fundamental principle in physiscs
• In other to utilize the various forms of energy for domestic use it must be converted
from one form to another via mechanical or chemical process.
• The sum of loss and gain in energy of the system is a constant.

• Power is defined as th the time rate of doing work/ is
the amount f energy converted per unit time
• Great power means a large amount of work or energy
is transferred or converted per unit time.
Eg. When a car accelerates rapidly it does a large
amount of work by consuming fuel energy in a short
period of time
• Power is a scalar quantity
Work is done over a a given time
No force or movement
