Today, we're going to discuss the concept of work in physics. Work is defined as the product of the force applied in the direction of the displacement and the distance moved by the object. Can anyone tell me how we express work mathematically?

Student 1
Student 1

It's W = F × d × cos(θ)!

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! The θ here is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement. Work can be positive, negative, or zero. Can anyone think of a scenario where the work done is zero?

Student 2
Student 2

Yes, when there's no displacement even if a force is applied, like pushing against a wall!

Teacher
Teacher

Great example! So, keep in mind that displacement must occur for work to be done.

Next, let's explore kinetic energy. The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. What does this mean?

Student 3
Student 3

It means if you do work on an object, you change its speed!

Teacher
Teacher

Correct! If we apply a net force and do work, we increase the kinetic energy of that object. Can you derive the kinetic energy formula for us?

Student 4
Student 4

Kinetic energy (K) is given by K = (1/2) mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Teacher
Teacher

Well done! Now remember this is a scalar quantity and always positive. Keep practicing these relationships!

Now let's talk about potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy. What is the expression for gravitational potential energy?

Student 1
Student 1

It is given by V = mgh, where h is height!

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! As height increases, potential energy increases. What happens when the object falls?

Student 2
Student 2

It converts potential energy into kinetic energy!

Teacher
Teacher

Correct! This conversion is crucial in understanding energy conservation. Can you name another situation where potential energy is significant?

Student 3
Student 3

Like in a spring when it’s compressed or stretched due to Hooke's Law!

Teacher
Teacher

Excellent point! The potential energy in springs is given by V = (1/2) kx².

Let's tackle some exercises to solidify our understanding. Here’s the first one: A 2 kg object is lifted 5 meters vertically. What's the work done against gravity?

Student 4
Student 4

Using W = mgh, W = 2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 5 m = 98 J!

Teacher
Teacher

Great job! Now, consider a second problem: If this object falls back down, what is the change in potential energy?

Student 1
Student 1

The change in potential energy would be -98 J since it’s falling!

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! Remember, the negative sign shows a loss of potential energy. Keep practicing with different scenarios.
