What is work?
How does it relate to force?

3. All objects or systems have an energy associated with it
E = Emotion +Egrav+ Eelastic + Ethermal+ Echem + Enuc + Enuc …
Energy can be transferred from the environment to an object or system in two ways
WORK – mechanical transfer of energy (apply force over a distance)
HEAT – nonmechanical transfer of energy (due to temperature difference)

4. Work – When a force acts on an object over a distance, it is said that work was done upon the object. Work tells us how much a force transfers energy to a system.
dot product
Angle between F and Dd
Component of force parallel to displacement
Work a bridge between force (a vector) and energy (a scalar)

5. Dot Product
The product of the magnitudes of 2 vectors and the angle between them. The result is a SCALAR. A B q
Result is a scalar that measures how much of one vector lies along the direction of the other.

9. Example: Work done on a crate
Example: Work done on a crate. A 50 kg crate is pulled 40 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force exerted by a, FP = 100 N, which acts at a 370 angle. The floor is rough and exerts a friction force fK = 50 N. Determine the work done by each force on the crate and the net work done on the crate. FG FN

11. Force and direction of motion both matter in defining work!
There is no work done by a force if it causes no displacement.
Forces can do positive, negative, or zero work. When an box is pushed on a flat floor, for example…
The normal force and gravity do no work, since they are perpendicular to the direction of motion.
The person pushing the box does positive work, since she is pushing in the direction of motion.
Friction does negative work, since it points opposite the direction of motion.

16. Energy – has the ability to do work

17. Work Energy Theorem W=DE
Work on a system by a force over a distance transfers energy to the system!
W=DE
If an applied force does positive work on a system, it increases the energy.
If an applied force does negative work, it decreases the energy.
W=DE = DK +DUg+ DUS

The two forms of mechanical energy are called kinetic energy and potential energy.

18. The NET work done on an object changes its kinetic energy.

25. Power Power is the rate of which work is done.
P = W/Dt =(Fdcosq)/t= Fvcosq= DE/t W: work in Joules Dt: elapsed time in seconds
When we run upstairs, t is small so P is big.
When we walk upstairs, t is large so P is small.

1 W = 1 J/s W: work in Joules Dt: elapsed time in seconds
Named after the Scottish engineer James Watt ( ) who perfected the steam engine.

27. How We Buy Energy…
The kilowatt-hour is a commonly used unit by the electrical power company.
Power companies charge you by the kilowatt-hour (kWh), but this not power, it is really energy consumed.
1 kW = 1000 W
1 h = 3600 s
1 kWh = 1000J/s • 3600s = 3.6 x 106J

Spring1, k1 larger/stiffer so need larger F to stretch same distance

42. Potential Energy
Energy associated with forces that depend on the position and/or configuration of an object.
Eg. Wound up clock spring has PE because as it unwinds it can do work moving the clock hands.
Eg. Gravitational PE. Heavy brick held high in air has PE because of its position. When released it has ability to do work.

The 10 J of work done lifting the book was stored by the gravitational force and then converted to kinetic energy. The gravitational field stores POTENTIAL ENERGY mgh. Gravity is a conservative force.

46. Gravitational Potential Energy, Ug
Energy associated with an objects position in the gravitational field.
SI unit of PE: Joule
PE is a scalar
The higher an object is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it has
Only changes in gravitational PE are relevant and depend ONLY on change in vertical height and NOT on the path taken.

48. How does the gravitational PE depend on the path taken to get to h?FN Dh Dh FH q FG
Path-INDEPENDENT

49. Energy and Conservative Forces
Forces such as gravity that store potential energy and for which the work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on initial and final positions, are called conservative forces. h FG

51. What about Friction? FPush fK Dx = 1m FGFN
FPush fK
Dx = 1m
But where did the energy that the frictional force took from the book go?

54. Potential Energy
If a conservative force does positive work on an object, potential energy is lost (K gained)
If a conservative force does negative work on an object, potential energy is gained (K lost)
In general, the change in PE associated with a particular conservative force is equal to the negative of the work done by that force if object moved from one point to another.

56. Conservative Forces Work is path independent.
Work can be calculated from the starting and ending points only.
The actual path is ignored in calculations.
Work along a closed path is zero.
If the starting and ending points are the same, no work is done by the force.
Work changes potential energy.
Examples
Gravity
Spring Force
Conservation of mechanical energy holds!

57. Non-conservative Forces
Work is path dependent.
Knowing the starting and ending points is not sufficient to calculate the work.
Work along a closed path is NOT zero.
Work changes mechanical energy.
Examples
Friction
Drag (air resistance)
Conservation of mechanical energy does not hold!

58. Energy and Conservative Forces
Q: Assume a conservative force moves an object along the various paths. Which two works are equal?
A: W2 = W3
(path independence)
Q: Which two works when added together, give a sum of zero?
A: W1 + W2 = 0 or W1 + W3 = 0
(work along a closed path is zero)

59. Work-Energy Theorem General form:
Nonconservative forces change mechanical energy. If nonconservative work is negative, as it often is, the mechanical energy of the system will drop.

60. Conservation of Mechanical Energy
If only conservative forces act on a system:
If only conservative forces act, the total mech energy of an isolated system neither increases or decreases.

61. Conservation of Mechanical Energy
In any isolated system, the total energy remains constant: DE = 0
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be transformed from one type of energy to another.
An isolated system is one in which no work is done on the system so that no energy is transferred into or out of the system. If gravity and a spring interact with an object to store energy or transform energy, then earth and spring must be part of the system

85. Work Done by Nonconservative Forces
Nonconservative forces change mechanical energy. They add or remove energy to the system. If nonconservative work is negative, as it is for friction, the mechanical energy of the system will drop and the amount of energy lost is equivalent to the work done by the non conservative force.
