3 WORK AND ENERGY

4 3 WORK Work is done when an object is moved through a distance. It is defined as the product of the component of force applied along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of the displacement. W = F d cos 

5 4

6 5 Units of Work Look at the equation: W = F d cos , the units are the units of force times displacement. So, Newton meter A Newton meter is called a Joule 1 Joule = 1 Newton meter 1 J = 1 N m

7 6 Units of Work SI or MKSNewtonmeterJoule CGSDynecentimeterErg EnglishPoundfootftlb The unit is named after the English physicist James P. Joule

8 7 James Joule (1818-1889) Not formally trained as a physicist. He ran experiments during his honeymoon. He later found the mechanical equivalent of heat. Heat is energy not a substance.

10 9 Work: positive or negative? Work is a scalar quantity Work is positive when the component of force and the displacement are in the same direction. Work is negative when the component of force and the displacement are in the opposite directions.

13 12 Displacement Force Area under Curve is Work

15 Can you determine the work done? 14

16 15 Who’s Doing Work? AB CD

17 16 Try this problem A horse pulls a stationary 300 kg cart for 55 m. The horse pulls on the cart at an angle of 35 o with a 450 N constant force. –Find the force along the direction of motion. –Find the work done by the horse. –Find the acceleration of the cart. –Find the total time this takes. –Find the weight of the cart. –What would the d-t, v-t, a-t, F-d graphs look like?

18 17 POWER ! Power is the rate of doing work. Power is measured in units called Watts

19 18 Units of Power The units of power are:

27 26 Sound Energy

28 27 Nuclear Energy

29 28 Heat Energy

30 29 Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is energy of motion.

31 30 Work-Energy Theorem The result of work is that there is a change of speed, or an acceleration. W=FdW=mad v f 2 = v i 2 + 2ad and solve for ad ad = (v f 2 – v i 2 )/2 Insert into W=mad W=m(v f 2 – v i 2 )/2

32 31 Work-Energy Theorem

33 32 Work-Energy Theorem

34 33 Gravitational Potential Energy The force of gravity does work. It accelerates objects. W = F g d W = mg d W = mg h (h = height above a reference point)

35 34 Gravitational Potential Energy Note: AP Physics uses the symbol U for potential energy

36 35 Potential Energy and Work When work is done by gravity or against it, the change in PE is equal to the work done.

37 Work and Gravity 36

38 Work and Friction 37

39 38 Conservation of Energy Energy is conserved in all systems. This means that in the Universe, all the energy that was at the beginning of time is still in the Universe today. As we isolate systems, we find that the total energy before is equal to the total energy after. The energy just changes form.

46 45 Spring Potential Energy Springs possess potential energy if they are elongated or compressed from their rest positions.Springs possess potential energy if they are elongated or compressed from their rest positions. This is called spring (or elastic) potential energy.This is called spring (or elastic) potential energy. The formula is derived from Hooke’s Law:The formula is derived from Hooke’s Law:

51 50 Conservative Force A conservative force is such that the work done on the object is independent of the path. OR The force does NO work as the object moves around a closed path from start to finish.

52 51 Conservative vs. Non-conservative Force Conservative –Gravity –Elastic Spring –Electric Non-conservative –Friction –Air resistance –Tension –Normal force

53 Conservative Force 52

54 Non-Conservative Force 53

55 54 Internal Energy The total energy contained within a thermodynamic system. Basically we are talking about heat when we use the term internal energy Usually in mechanical systems, heat is created because of friction, air resistance, or water resistance Energy in this form is typically wasted energy

56 55 Non-Conservative Forces A force is non-conservative if the work done on an object is dependent upon the path of travel.
