We can analyze the forces exerted in this problem based on Newton’s Laws, but those laws can not explain: why the man’s ability to exert a force to move forward becomes used up. For this analysis, we must introduce the new concepts of “Work and Energy”.

3. Ch.11 Energy I: Work and kinetic energy Notes: 1) The “physics concept of work” is different from the “work in daily life”; 2) The “energy” of a system is a measure of its capacity to do work.

25. Ch.11 Energy I: Work and kinetic energy Sample problem 11-10 A space probe coasting ( 航线 ) in a region of negligible gravity is rotating with an angular speed of 2.4rev/s about an axis that points in its direction of motion. The spacecraft is in the form of a thin spherical shell of radius 1.7m and mass 245kg. It is necessary to reduce the rotational speed to 1.8rev/s by firing tangential thrusters ( 推进器 ) along the equator of the probe. What constant force must the thruster exert if the change of angular speed is to be accomplished as the probe rotates through 3.0 revolution?

29. Ch.11 Energy I: Work and kinetic energy 2. Inelastic collision: the total final kinetic energy is less than the total initial kinetic energy. (If you drop a tennis ball on a hard surface, it does not quite bounce to its original height.) 3. Completely inelastic collision: two bodies stick together. This type of collision loses the maximum amount of kinetic energy, consistent with the conservation of momentum. 4. Explosive or energy releasing collision: “The total final kinetic energy is greater than the total initial kinetic energy.” Often occur in nuclear reactions.
