2 What is energy? The property of an object that allows it to produce a change in itself or its environment. The property of an object that allows it to produce a change in itself or its environment. In this class we will study In this class we will study Work Work Gravitational Potential Energy Gravitational Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy Spring Potential Energy Spring Potential Energy

3 Work Generic term for energy given to an object from an outside source or energy lost to the outside from an object. Generic term for energy given to an object from an outside source or energy lost to the outside from an object. W=Fdcosθ W=Fdcosθ θ is the angle between the force and the displacement. θ is the angle between the force and the displacement. Unless explicitly told otherwise, assume that the angle between force and displacement is 0. Unless explicitly told otherwise, assume that the angle between force and displacement is 0. When θ=90 o, cosθ=0 so no work is done. When θ=90 o, cosθ=0 so no work is done.

4 Work Unit for energy is the Joule. Unit for energy is the Joule. Other units: calories, kilowatt hours, Other units: calories, kilowatt hours, Negative work means that the object in question is losing energy i.e. friction. Negative work means that the object in question is losing energy i.e. friction. Sometimes labeled Q when referring to heat specifically. Sometimes labeled Q when referring to heat specifically.
