Chapter 8 Potential energy and conservation of energy Key contents Potential energy Conservative forces Conservation of mechanical energy Equilibrium points Conservation of energy

Potential energy Potential energy is energy that can be associated with the configuration (arrangement) of a system of objects that exert forces on one another. Some forms of potential energy: 1.Gravitational potential energy, 2.Elastic potential energy For a system in which the interaction among its constituents is a ‘conservative’ force, one may define a type of energy called ‘potential energy’.

Conservative Forces The net work done by a conservative force on a particle moving around any closed path is zero. The work done by a conservative force is path independent. -- as the definition

8.2 Work and potential energy The change  U in potential energy (gravitational, elastic, etc) is defined as being equal to the negative of the work done on the object by the corresponding conservative force (gravitational, elastic, etc) # e.g. work done by gravitational force, by a spring etc.

Sample problem, slippery cheese Calculations: Let us choose the dashed path in Fig. 8-5b; it consists of two straight segments. Along the horizontal segment, the angle  is a constant 90°. Even though we do not know the displacement along that horizontal segment, the work W h done there is Along the vertical segment, the displacement d is 0.80 m and, with and both downward, the angle is a constant = 0°. Thus, for the work W v done along the vertical part of the dashed path, The total work done on the cheese by F g as the cheese moves from point a to point b along the dashed path is then This is also the work done as the cheese slides along the track from a to b.

8.4: Determining Potential Energy values: For the most general case, in which the conservative force may vary with position, we may write the work W: The change of the potential energy is defined to be the negative value of the work done by that conservative force.

8.4: Determining Potential Energy values: Gravitational Potential Energy A particle with mass m moving vertically along a y axis (the positive direction is upward). As the particle moves from point y i to point y f, the gravitational force does work on it. The corresponding change in the gravitational potential energy of the particle–Earth system is: The gravitational potential energy associated with a particle–Earth system depends only on the vertical position y (or height) of the particle relative to the reference position y =0, not on the horizontal position.

8.4: Determining Potential Energy values: Elastic Potential Energy In a block–spring system, the block is moving on the end of a spring of spring constant k. As the block moves from point x i to point x f, the spring force F x = - kx does work on the block. The corresponding change in the elastic potential energy of the block–spring system is If the reference configuration is when the spring is at its relaxed length, and the block is at x i = 0.

Sample problem: gravitational potential energy

8.5: Conservation of Mechanical Energy Principle of conservation of energy: In an isolated system where only conservative forces cause energy changes, the kinetic energy and potential energy can change, but their sum, the mechanical energy E mec of the system, cannot change. The mechanical energy E mec of a system is the sum of its potential energy U and the kinetic energy K of the objects within it: With and We have:

8.6: Reading a Potential Energy Curve A plot of U(x), the potential energy function of a system containing a particle confined to move along an x axis. There is no friction, so mechanical energy is conserved. A plot of the force F(x) acting on the particle, derived from the potential energy plot by taking its slope at various points.

8.6: Reading a Potential Energy Curve The U(x) plot with three possible values of E mec shown.

8.6: Potential Energy Curve, Equilibrium Points A particle at rest at any point to the right of x 5 is said to be in neutral equilibrium. If a particle is located exactly at x 3, the force on it is zero, and the particle remains stationary. However, if it is displaced even slightly in either direction, a nonzero force pushes it farther in the same direction, and the particle continues to move. A particle at such a position is said to be in unstable equilibrium. Consider a particle at rest at x 2 or x 4. If we push it slightly left or right, a restoring force appears that moves it back to x 2 or x 4. A particle at such a position is said to be in stable equilibrium.

8.7: Work done on a System by an External Force Work is energy transferred to or from a system by means of an external force acting on that system.

8.7: Work done on a System by an External Force FRICTION INVOLVED FRICTION NOT INVOLVED

8.8: Conservation of Energy Law of Conservation of Energy The total energy E of a system can change only by amounts of energy that are transferred to or from the system. where E mec is any change in the mechanical energy of the system, E th is any change in the thermal energy of the system, and E int is any change in any other type of internal energy of the system. The total energy E of an isolated system cannot change.

8.8: Conservation of Energy External Forces and Internal Energy Transfers An external force can change the kinetic energy or potential energy of an object without doing work on the object—that is, without transferring energy to the object. Instead, the force is responsible for transfers of energy from one type to another inside the object.

8.8: Conservation of Energy: Power In general, power P is the rate at which energy is transferred by a force from one type to another. If an amount of energy E is transferred in an amount of time t, the average power of the force is and the instantaneous power due to the force is

Sample problem: change in thermal energy

Sample problem: energy, friction, spring, and tamales Forces: The normal force on the package from the floor does no work on the package. For the same reason, the gravitational force on the package does no work. As the spring is compressed, a spring force does work on the package. The spring force also pushes against a rigid wall. There is friction between the package and the floor, and the sliding of the package across the floor increases their thermal energies. System: The package–spring–floor–wall system includes all these forces and energy transfers in one isolated system. From conservation of energy,
