Work, Power and Energy Class 9 Notes Science


Chapter 4th Work, Power and Energy


Work: 
          When a force acts on an object and the object shows displacement, then it said to be a force has done work on the object.  
                           Work = Force x Displacement
     Unit of workdone = Joule
                         1 joule = Newton x metre
Two conditions need to be satisfied for work to be done:
(i) A force should act on object
(a) The object must be displaced
                            
Define 1 joule work.
   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.

Energy:-
     The capacity of a body to do work is called as energy of the body.
Unit of energy = Joules
                     1KJ = 1000 J

Forms of Energy: 
            The various forms of energy are potential energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, chemical energy, electrical energy and light energy.

Kinetic Energy: 
     The energy possessed by a body due to its motion known as kinetic energy.
      Energy of an object increases with its speed.
Kinetic energy of body moving with a certain velocity = work done on it to make it acquire that velocity.

Derivation:-
     Let an object of mass m, move with uniform velocity u, let us displace it by s, due to constant force F, acting on it



Potential Energy:-
       The energy possessed by a body due to its position or shape is called its potential energy.
Example:- 
              (i). Spring in stretched conditions or in comparison.
             (ii).A body placed at a certain height from the ground.

Gravitational Potential Energy: (GP)
     When an object is raised through a height, work is said to be done on it against gravity.
      The energy possessed by such an object is called the gravitational potential energy.
   
    Gravitational PotentialEnergy= work is done in raising a body from the ground to a point against gravity.

Derivation:-  Consider a body with mass m, raised through a height h, from the ground, Force required to raise the object = weight of object mg.
The object gains energy to the work done on it.




      Work done in both the cases (i) and (ii) is same as a body is raised from position A to B, even if the path taken is different but the height attained is the same.

Mechanical Energy: The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is called mechanical energy.

Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another. The total energy before and after transformation remains the same.



Potential energy + Kinetic energy = Constant (Mechanical energy)
       A body of mass ‘m’ is raised to height ‘h’ at A its potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is 0 as it is stationary.
When body falls at B, h is decreasing hence potential energy decreases and V is increasing hence kinetic energy is increasing.
   When the body is about to reach the ground level, h = 0, v will be maximum hence kinetic energy > potential energy.
Decrease in potential energy = Increase in kinetic energy
This shows the continual transformation of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.

Power:- The rate of doing work by a body is called as power.

  Force:-   It is defined as the acceleration to move the object from one position to another.                                                Or  The push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity. Force is an external agent capable of changing the state of rest or motion of a body.                              Force = Mass × Acceleration                                  F = m × a Where, the terms are denoted by the follow...

Tissue

The Formation of Tissues Cells form groups cells that need to perform a single task often group together. This grouping of cells together to perform a function efficiently is called a  Tissue . For Example , Muscles and Blood. The tissue cells have the same structure and they perform the same function. Tissues of Plants and Animals Plant Tissues Animal Tissues Plants do not move so their tissues are predominantly the ones that provide support to them so that they can stand erect. Animals need more energy as compared to plants because they are not stationary. Their tissues are the ones that can support movement. These tissues are made up of dead cells because dead cells can also provide mechanical strength to the plants and do not require much maintenance. The tissues in case of animals are made up of living cells so that they can move and perform several functions. Only certain parts of the plant can grow. The tissues present in such regions of and divide themselves and form new ti...

Human Eye and the Colorful world

  HUMAN EYE : It acts like a camera, enable us to capture the colourful picture of the surroundings. An inverted, real image on light sensitive  is formed on the  Retina The Various Parts of Eye and their Functions 1. Cornea  : It is a thin membrane through which light enters. It forms the transparent bulge on the front of eyeball. Most of the refraction occurs at the outer surface of the cornea. 2.  Eyeball  :it is a convex lens, approximately spherical in shape, with a diameter of about 2.3 cm. It can alter its curvature with help of ciliary muscles. 3.  Iris : It is a dark muscular diaphragm that controls the size of pupil.It is behind the cornea.it helps in accommodation of light by changing the size of the pupil. 4.  Pupil  :It regulates and control the amount of light entering the eye. It is the black opening between aqueous humour& lens.BLack in colour. Light entering cannot exit. 5.  Crystalline eye lens  :Prov...
