Machines make work easier

Fulcrum

Work In = Work Out + Heat

Efficiency =

Work Out ! 100 Work In

Distance Out

Distance In

In a real machine the efficiency must always be less than 100%

Work In = Work Out Force x

Distance = Force x

Machines make work easier.

He lifts the package up 4 ft…

Power 4 ft

4 ft



Power: the rate at which work is done

P= 8 ft

W F!d v = = F! v !t "t

4 ft

But the work stays the same. Remember…W = F x d

Units in the SI system….

A bulldozer and a small boy can do the same amount of work. It’s just that the bulldozer can do it faster.

Units in the English system

Power =

ft • lbs sec

550 ft ! lbs = 1 horsepower sec 1 HP = 746 Watts

Power =

Work time

Power =

Joules sec

= Watts

Example: A 2.00x103 kg car starts from rest and accelerates to a final velocity of +20.0 m/s in a time of 15.0 s. Assume that the force of air resistance remains constant at a value of –500. N during this time

 Find

the average power developed by the engine (express in watts and hp).  Find the instantaneous power when the car reaches its final velocity (in watts and hp).

Example: A 2000 kg car starts from rest and accelerates to a final velocity of +20.0 m/s in a time of 15.0 s. Assume that the force of air resistance remains constant at a value of –500. N during this time.

Example: A 2000 kg car starts from rest and accelerates to a final velocity of +20 m/s in a time of 15 s. Assume that the force of air resistance remains constant at a value of –500 N during this time.

A) Find the average power developed by the engine (express in watts and hp). v v v v vf = vi + at vi = 0 m/s v 20.0 m/s = (a)(15.0 s) vf = 20.0 m/s

A) Find the average power developed by the engine (express in watts and hp). Feng = 3160 N v + vi v vavg = f 2 20.0 m/s + 0 m/s v vavg = 2 v vavg = 10.0 m/s

t = 15.0 s

a = 1.33m/s2

# F = Fengine " Fair resistance = m ! a

Feng " 500. N = (2000. kg)(1.33m/s 2 ) Feng = 3160 N

v 4 P = F ! vavg = (3160 N)(10.0 m/s) = 3.16 ! 10 W P = 3.16 ! 104 W !

Example: A 2000 kg car starts from rest and accelerates to a final velocity of +20 m/s in a time of 15 s. Assume that the force of air resistance remains constant at a value of –500 N during this time.

B) Find the instantaneous power when the car reaches its final velocity (in watts and hp).

P = F ! vf P = (3160 N)(20.0 m/s)

P = 6.32 ! 104 W P = 6.32 ! 104 W !

1 hp = 84.8 hp 746 W

Example: An elevator has a mass of 1000. kg and carries a maximum load of 800. kg. A constant frictional force of 4000. N retards its motion upward. What minimum power must the motor deliver to lift the fully-loaded elevator at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s? (In watts and horsepower)

v is constant, so a=0 FT – Ff – mg = 0 FT = Ff + mg = 4000 N + (1800 kg)(9.8m/s2 ) FT = 2.16 x 104 N P = FT v P = (2.16 x 104 N)(3.00 m/s) = 6.48 x 104 W P = (6.48 x 104 W)(1 hp / 746 W) = 86.9 hp
