Energy and Work
A body experiences a change in energy when one or more forces do work on it. A body must move under the influence of a force or forces to say work was done.
A force does positive work on a body when the force and the displacement are at least partially aligned. Maximum positive work is done when a force and a displacement are in exactly the same direction.
If a force causes no displacement, it does zero work.
Forces can do negative work if they are pointed opposite the direction of the displacement.

Calculating Work – Step 1, constant F
If a force on an object is at least partially aligned with the displacement of the object, positive work is done by the force. The amount of work done depends on the magnitude of the force, the magnitude of the displacement, and the degree of alignment.

Work and a Pulley System
A pulley system, which has at least one pulley attached to the load, can be used to reduce the force necessary to lift a load.
Amount of work done in lifting the load is not changed.
The distance the force is applied over is increased, thus the force is reduced, since W = Fd.

Calculating Work a Different Way
Work is a scalar resulting from the multiplication of two vectors.
We say work is the “dot product” of force and displacement.
W = F • r

W= F r cos q

W = Fxrx + Fyry + Fzrz

The “dot product” is one way to multiply two vectors. (The other way is called the “cross product”.)

The quantities shown above are biggest when the vectors are completely aligned and there is a zero angle between them.

Work and Variable Forces
For constant forces
W = F • r
For variable forces, you can’t move far until the force changes. The force is only constant over an infinitesimal displacement.
dW = F • dr (dr, dW = small, small sample where force could be considered constant)
To calculate work for a larger displacement, you have to take an integral
W =  dW =  F • dr

21. Tutorial on the Integral
Mathematically, the integral is used to calculate a sum composed of many, many tiny parts.
In physics, the integral is used to find a measurable change resulting from very small incremental changes. It’s useful to think of it as a fancy addition process or a multiplication process, depending on the situation.
Here’s a specific example. Velocity times time gives displacement. If the velocity is changing with time, but a very tiny time change is used to calculate a very tiny displacement, we can nonetheless assume the velocity was constant during that tiny time change.
If we calculate tiny displacements this way (recalculating our velocity for each time increment), then add the tiny displacements up to get a larger displacement, we have done “integration”.

22. Velocity as a Function of Time Displacement
Velocity can be represented as follows:
Rearrangement of this expression yields:
What this means is that we can calculate a tiny displacement dx from the velocity v at a given time times a tiny time increment dt.

23. Summing the Displacements
When we sum up these tiny displacements, we use the following notation:
This notation indicates that we are summing up all the little displacements dx starting at position xo at time to until we reach a final position and time, xf and tf. The velocity v may be a function of time, and may be slightly different for one time increment dt and the next time increment.

24. Evaluating Integrals
We will evaluate polynomial integrals by reversing the process we used in taking a polynomial derivative. This process is sometimes called “anti-differentiation”, or “doing an anti-derivative”.
The general method for doing an anti-derivative is:
Can you see how this is the reverse of taking a derivative? (Note: This “indefinite integral” requires us to add a constant C to compensate for constants that may have been lost during differentiation…but we will do “definite integrals” that do not require C.)

25. Evaluating Definite Integrals
When a “definite integral” with “limits of integration” is to be evaluated, first do the “anti-derivative”. Then evaluate the resulting functions using the top limits, evaluate them again using the bottom limits, then subtract the two values to get the answer. (Note: do each side of the equation separately.)

Bertrand

37. Physics C Energy
3/25/2017
Net Work or Total Work
An object can be subject to many forces at the same time, and if the object is moving, the work done by each force can be individually determined.
At the same time one force does positive work on the object, another force may be doing negative work, and yet another force may be doing no work at all.
The net work, or total, work done on the object (Wnet or Wtot) is the scalar sum of the work done on an object by all forces acting upon the object.
Wnet = ΣWi

Physics C Energy

The Work-Energy Theorem
Wnet = ΔK
When net work due to all forces acting upon an object is positive, the kinetic energy of the object will increase.
When net work due to all forces acting upon an object is negative, the kinetic energy of the object will decrease.
When there is no net work acting upon an object, the kinetic energy of the object will be unchanged.
(Note this says nothing about the kinetic energy.)

ΔUg = -Wg = mgh

Use conservation of momentum independently for x and y dimensions.
You must resolve your momentum vectors into x and y components when working the problem

Center of Mass
The center of mass of a system is the point at which all the mass can be assumed to reside.
Sometimes the system is an assortment of particles and sometimes it is a solid object.
Mathematically, you can think of the center of mass as a “weighted average”.

Motion of a System of Particles
If you have a problem involving a system of many particles, you can often simplify your problem greatly by just considering the motion of the center of mass.
If all forces in the sytem are internal, the motion of the center of mass will not change.
The effect of an external force that acts on all particles can be simplified by considering that it acts on the center of mass; that is:
SFext = Macm

Homework problem – collaborative work (15 minutes)
This problem is a toughie! However, it gets easier if you use the idea that the center of mass of the system of Romeo, Juliet, and canoe does not change because all forces are internal. The question is paraphrased below:
Romeo (77 kg) sits in the back of a canoe 2.70 m away from Juliet (55 kg) who sits in the front. The canoe has a mass of 80 kg. Juliet moves to the rear of the canoe to kiss Romeo. How far does the canoe move forward when she does this? (Assume a canoe that is symmetrical).
