    When a force acts on an object, causing it to displace or move, work has been done on the object. For work to be done, two conditions must be met: a force must act on an object, and the object must be displaced. Work is calculated as force multiplied by distance (W=F*d), and is measured in Joules. Energy is the capacity of a body to do work, and is also measured in Joules. There are different forms of energy including kinetic, potential, chemical, and others.

    NOTES

    Work: When a force acts on an object and the object shows


    displacement, the force has done work on the object.

    Two conditions need to be satisfied for work to be done:


    (i) A force should act on object
    (a) The object must be displaced
    Work = Force x Distance
    W= F * S
    *Unit of work done = Joule = Newton x metre
    *1 Joule work is said to be done when 1 Newton force is applied on an
    object and it shows the displacement by 1 meter.
     Work is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude and no direction.

    Energy:

    The capacity of a body to do work is called the energy of the body.


    Unit of energy = Joules 1KJ = 1000 J

    Energy is a scalar quantity.

    The main forms of energy are kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy,
    heat energy, light energy, sound energy, electrical energy and nuclear energy.

    Kinetic Energy
     The energy possessed by a body on account of its motion is known as kinetic
    energy.
     Kinetic energy possessed by a body of mass ‘m’ moving with a velocity ‘v’ is
    given by the formula: Kinetic Energy =1/2 mv 2
     Kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to
    * the mass of the body
    * the square of the velocity of the body

    Potential Energy
     The energy possessed by a body because of its position or configuration is
    known as potential energy.
     The work done in raising an object from the ground to a point against gravity
    is called gravitational potential energy.
     Potential energy of a body of mass ‘m’ raised to a height ‘h’ above the
    surface of the Earth is given by the formula: Potential Energy = m g h where ‘g’
    is the acceleration due to gravity.
     Law of conservation of energy:
     Sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of an object is its total
    mechanical energy.

    Power
     Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of transfer of energy.
    Power = Work done/Time taken  or Power = Energy consumed /Time taken
     Power is a scalar quantity. Its SI unit is watt (W).
     It is said to be one watt when the rate of consumption of energy is 1 Js−1 .
     Larger units of power are kilowatt (kW), megawatt (MW) and horsepower
    (hp).
    1 kW = 1000 W
    1 MW = 106 W
    1 hp = 746 W
    Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be converted from
    one form to the other
    Commercial Unit of Energy
     The commercial unit of energy is kilowatt hour (kWh).
     One kilowatt hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an
    electrical appliance with a power rating of 1 kilowatt is used for 1 hour.
     1 kWh is equal to 3.6 × 106 J of energy.
     1 kilowatt hour of electrical energy is commonly known as 1 unit
