3. Energy is.. The ability to do work Measured in Joules We use energy to do whatever task we need to do (move a car, lift a pencil, etc)

4. Types of Energy Energy can come in many forms including: – Thermal (energy in the form of moving atoms) – Electrical (energy possessed by charged particles) – Radiant (energy found in EM waves) – Nuclear (energy stored in holding the atom together) – Gravitational (energy stored due to a raised elevation)

5. Types of Energy cont. – Kinetic (energy due to motion of objects) – Elastic (energy stored in compression or stretch) – Sound (energy in vibrations) – Chemical (energy stored in molecular bonds)

6. Energy 101 Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only transform from one form to another. Eg. A student turns on the stove to heat a pot of water Electrical  Radiant  Thermal

7. Energy and Work We know energy is the ability to do work, but what is work? In physics work is the energy transferred to an object by an applied force over a displacement

8. Forms of Energy Kinetic: Energy of motion. Kinetic: Energy of motion. A car on the highway has kinetic energy. A car on the highway has kinetic energy. We have to remove this energy to stop it.

10. Energy Conservation Energy cannot be destroyed or created. Energy cannot be destroyed or created. Just changed from one form to another. Just changed from one form to another. We say energy is conserved! We say energy is conserved! True for any closed system. True for any closed system. i.e. when we put on the brakes, the kinetic energy of the car is turned into heat using friction in the brakes. The total energy of the “car-brakes-road-atmosphere” system is the same. i.e. when we put on the brakes, the kinetic energy of the car is turned into heat using friction in the brakes.

It is reduced by the braking. It is reduced by the braking. Doing “work” on an isolated system will change its “energy”... Doing “work” on an isolated system will change its “energy”...

11. Work Mechanical work is done on an object when a force displaces an object. Note that this equation only applies when the force is constant and the force and displacement are in the same direction. When the force and displacement are not entirely in the same direction, the component of the force in the direction of the displacement is used. W=FΔd

12. Definition of Work: Ingredients: Fr Ingredients: Force (F), displacement (  r) F Work, W, of a constant force F r acting through a displacement  r is: F  rrr W = F   r = F  r cos  = F r  r  F rrrr displacement FrFr “Dot Product” The dot product allows us to multiply two vectors, but just the components that are going in the same direction (usually along the second vector)

13. Definition of Work... Only the component of F along the displacement is doing work. Only the component of F along the displacement is doing work. Example: Train on a track. Example: Train on a track. F r rr r  F cos 

14. Aside: Dot Product (or Scalar Product) Definition: ab a. b= ab cos  = a[b cos  ] = ab a = b[a cos  ] = ba b Some properties: a  bb  a a  b= b  a a  bb  a b  a q(a  b) = (qb)  a = b  (qa) (q is a scalar) a  b ca  b a  c c a  (b + c) = (a  b) + (a  c) (c is a vector) The dot product of perpendicular vectors is 0 !! a abab b ab baba

15. Work: Example (constant force) A force F = 10 N pushes a box across a frictionless floor for a distance  x = 5 m. A force F = 10 N pushes a box across a frictionless floor for a distance  x = 5 m. xxxx F byF on Work done by F on box is: F  xFx W F = F   x = F  x (since F is parallel to  x) Joules (J) W F = (10 N) x (5 m) = 50 Joules (J)

17. Example 1 How much mechanical work will be done pushing a shopping cart 3.5m with a force of 25N in the same direction as the displacement?

18. Example 2 A curler applies a force of 15.0N on a curling stone and accelerates the stone from rest to a speed of 8.00m/s in 3.5s. Assuming the ice surface is level and frictionless, how much mechanical work is done on the stone?

19. Example 3 Calculate the work done by a custodian on a vacuum cleaner if the custodian exerts an applied force of 50.0N on the vacuum hose and the hose makes a 30° angle with the floor. The vacuum moves 3.0m to the right on a flat level surface.

20. Useless work? No work: when there is no displacement, no work is done! Work can also be positive or negative relative to the motion, as shown in the next example.

22. Example 4 A shopper pushes a shopping cart on a horizontal surface with a horizontal applied force of 41.0N for 11.0m. The cart experiences a force of friction of 35.0N. Calculate the total work done on the cart.

33. POWER Simply put, power is the rate at which work gets done (or energy gets transferred). Suppose you and I each do 1000J of work, but I do the work in 2 minutes while you do it in 1 minute. We both did the same amount of work, but you did it more quickly (you were more powerful) J J s s Watt (W)

34. Power = change in energy time Measured in Watts (J/s or W) or in horsepower Ex. 1 horsepower = 746 W or 0.75 kW Vehicle horsepower can be calculated using its RPM & Torque (in the manual). Watt determined that the average horse could do 33, 000 foot-pounds of work per minute (Ex. Move 1000 lbs of coal 33 ft every minute). The equation for power is: P = ΔE = W Δt Δt

35. Power is a measure of: the change in energy over time. aka. Energy used or Work done over time Kahn Academy: Speed of Weight-Lifter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpbxIG5HTf4

36. Power Power is also needed for acceleration and for moving against the force of gravity. The average power can be written in terms of the force and the average velocity:
