Work Done by a Constant Force
The definition of work, when the force is
parallel to the displacement:

Work Done by a Constant Force
If the force is at an angle to the displacement:
10
Work Done by a Constant Force
The work can also be written as the dot
product of the force and the displacement:

Work Done by a Constant Force
If there is more than one force acting on an
object, we can find the work done by each
force, and also the work done by the net force:

Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy
Theorem
When positive work is done on an object, its
speed increases; when negative work is done,
its speed decreases.

Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy
Theorem
After algebraic manipulations of the equations
of motion, we find:

Theorem
21
Work Done by a Variable Force
If the force is constant, we can interpret the
work done graphically:
22
Work Done by a Variable Force
If the force takes on several successive constant
values:
23
Work Done by a Variable Force
We can then approximate a continuously varying
force by a succession of constant values.
24
Work Done by a Variable Force
The force needed to stretch a spring an amount
x is F = kx.
Therefore, the work
done in stretching
the spring is

Power
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is
done:

Summary
• If the force is constant and parallel to the
displacement, work is force times distance
• If the force is not parallel to the displacement,
