4. 5.1 Work Done by a Constant Force
Definition of work:
The work done by a constant force acting on an object is equal to the product of the magnitudes of the displacement and the component of the force parallel to that displacement.

6. 5.1 Work Done by a Constant Force
If the force is at an angle to the displacement, as in (c), a more general form for the work must be used:
Unit of work: newton • meter (N • m)
1 N • m is called 1 joule.

Answer:

10. 5.1 Work Done by a Constant Force
If the force (or a component) is in the direction of motion, the work done is positive.

13. 5.1 Work Done by a Constant Force
If there is more than one force acting on an object, it is useful to define the net work:
The total, or net, work is defined as the work done by all the forces acting on the object, or the scalar sum of all those quantities of work.

18. 5.2 Work Done by a Variable Force
An applied force stretches a spring and as the spring is stretched, the restoring force becomes greater.
For most springs, the spring force is directly proportional to change in length of the spring.
Force on the spring varies with x (so force is a function of position).
Called Hooke’s Law
W = ½ kx2

29. 5.4 Potential Energy
Potential energy may be thought of as stored work, such as in a compressed spring or an object at some height above the ground.
Work done also changes the potential energy (U) of an object.

30. 5.4 Potential Energy
We can, therefore, define the potential energy of a spring; note that, as the displacement is squared, this expression is applicable for both compressed and stretched springs.

35. 5.4 Potential Energy
Only changes in potential energy are physically significant; therefore, the point where U = 0 may be chosen for convenience.

36. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
Some physical quantities are conserved, meaning constant.
We observe that, once all forms of energy are accounted for, the total energy of an isolated system does not change. This is the law of conservation of energy:
The total energy of an isolated system is always conserved.
[Energy can never be created nor destroyed…only converted to different forms]

37. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
We define a conservative force:
A force is said to be conservative if the work done by it in moving an object is independent of the object’s path.
Force depends only on the initial and final positions of an object.
What does it mean to be independent of path?

38. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
So, what types of forces are conservative? Gravity is one; the work done by gravity depends only on the difference between the initial and final height, and not on the path between them.
Similarly, a nonconservative force:
A force is said to be nonconservative if the work done by it in moving an object does depend on the object’s path.
The quintessential nonconservative force is friction.

39. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
We define the total mechanical energy:
Sum of kinetic and potential energies
The sum of these are _________

40. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
For a conservative force:
Total Mechanical Energy is constant
E = E0
For nonconservative forces, mechanical energy is usually lost.

a.) ball 1
b.) ball 2
c.) ball 3
d.) all balls same

43. 5.5 Conservation of Energy
If a nonconservative force or forces are present, the work done by the net nonconservative force is equal to the change in the total mechanical energy.

The total energy of the universe, or of an isolated system, is conserved.
Total mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. It is conserved in a conservative system.
