Work energy and power mechanics

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students how to calculate work, relate this to power, calculate the efficiency of work due to angles and energy transfers. Lesson is tailored towards the AQA A-level physics specification - Mechanics

Learning objective: To apply understanding of energy to motion and how angles affect the efficiency of work.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success criteria:
SC1: Describe what is meant by work and power.

SC2: Calculate the efficiency of work when angles are involved.

SC3: Use the conservation of energy to calculate values from the spring potential, gravitational potential and kinetic energy equations.

Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. There is also a guide attached with written walkthroughs of how to reach the final answer, even for those tricky 1 mark questions.

Powerpoint contains 20 slides and 8 past paper questions.
