1. Work, Energy and Power
Chapter 6 – READ!

2. Work – When a force acts on an object to cause movement of the object, it is said that work was done upon the object. Work tells us how much a force changes the energy of a system.
dot product
Angle between F and d
Component of force parallel to distance moved
Work - a bridge between force (a vector) and energy (a scalar)

3. Dot Product
The product of the magnitudes of 2 vectors and the angle between them. The result is a SCALAR. A B q
Result is a scalar that measures how much of one vector lies along the direction of the other.
Bcosq

4. Work SI Unit of work is Joule: J = (N)(m) Work is a SCALAR dot product
Component of force parallel to the distance moved
SI Unit of work is Joule: J = (N)(m)
Work is a SCALAR

5. Force and direction of motion both matter in defining work!
There is no work done by a force if it causes no movement.
Forces can do positive, negative, or zero work. When an box is pushed on a flat floor, for example…
The normal force and gravity do no work, since they are perpendicular to the direction of motion.
The person pushing the box does positive work, since she is pushing in the direction of motion.
Friction does negative work, since it points opposite the direction of motion.

Power is the rate of which work is done.
P = W/Dt = Fv W: work in Joules Dt: elapsed time in seconds
When we run upstairs, t is small so P is big.
When we walk upstairs, t is large so P is small.

31. Energy – has the ability to do work

32. Work and Energy Work changes mechanical energy!
If an applied force does positive work on a system, it tries to increase mechanical energy.
If an applied force does negative
work, it tries to decrease mechanical energy.
The two forms of mechanical energy are called potential and kinetic energy.

39. How We Buy Energy…
The kilowatt-hour is a commonly used unit by the electrical power company.
Power companies charge you by the kilowatt-hour (kWh), but this not power, it is really energy consumed.
1 kW = 1000 W
1 h = 3600 s
1 kWh = 1000J/s • 3600s = 3.6 x 106J

40. Energy and its Conservation

41. Potential Energy
Energy associated with forces that depend on the position and/or configuration of an object.
Eg. Wound up clock spring has PE because as it unwinds it can do work moving the clock hands.
Eg. Gravitational PE. Heavy brick held high in air has PE because of its position. When released it has ability to do work.

42. Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE
To lift an object of mass m vertically a height h (constant velocity):
Hand increases the energy of ball by 10J y2
h=1m FG FH
Gravity decreases the energy of ball by 10J
But where did the energy that the gravitational force took from the ball go? y1
m=1kg

43. Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE
But where did the energy that the gravitational force took from the ball go? FH FG y2
The 10 J of work done lifting the book was stored by the gravitational force and then converted to kinetic energy. The gravitational field stores POTENTIAL ENERGY mgh. Gravity is a conservative force.
h=1m y1
m=1kg

44. Rise FG y1 y2 h

Gains KE
Looses GPE
Fall

45. Gravitational Potential Energy
Energy associated with an objects position in the gravitational field.
SI unit of PE: Joule
PE is a scalar
The higher an object is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it has
Changes in gravitational PE depend ONLY on change in vertical height and NOT on the path taken.

46. Energy and Conservative Forces
Forces such as gravity for which the work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on initial and final positions, are called conservative forces. h FG
In ALL cases

48. What about Friction? FPush=10 fK Dx = 1m FGFN
FPush=10 fK
Dx = 1m
Hand increases the energy of book by 10J
Friction decreases the energy of ball by 10J
But where did the energy that the frictional force took from the book go?

49. What about Friction? FPush fK Dx = 1m FGFN
FPush fK
Dx = 1m
But where did the energy that the frictional force took from the book go?
It is NOT stored as potential energy. It is converted to heat energy and dissipated. Friction is a nonconservative force.

50. Elastic Potential Energyxf Dx
FPush
Fspring=kx
Fspring= - kx
Spring force is variable
Spring decreases the balls energy
Hand increases the balls energy

51. Elastic Potential Energy
But where did the energy that the spring force took from the ball go? Dx
FPush
Fspring
The work done compressing the spring was stored by the spring and converted to kinetic energy. The spring stores Elastic POTENTIAL ENERGY 1/2kx2. Elastic force is conservative.
Spring force is variable

52. Potential Energy
If a conservative force does positive work on an object, potential energy is lost (KE gained)
If a conservative force does negative work on an object, potential energy is gained (KE lost)
In general, the change in PE associated with a particular conservative force is equal to the negative of the work done by that force if object moved from one point to another.

53. Nonconservative Forces
Gravitational (GPE=mgh)
Friction
Elastic (EPE=1/2kx2)
Air resistance
Electric
Tension in a cord
Motor or rocket propulsion
Push or pull by a person
Path independent
store energy that is available to convert to KE
Path dependent
do not store energy that is available to convert to KE

54. Conservative Forces Work is path independent.
Work can be calculated from the starting and ending points only.
The actual path is ignored in calculations.
Work along a closed path is zero.
If the starting and ending points are the same, no work is done by the force.
Work changes potential energy.
Examples
Gravity
Spring Force
Conservation of mechanical energy holds!

55. Non-conservative Forces
Work is path dependent.
Knowing the starting and ending points is not sufficient to calculate the work.
Work along a closed path is NOT zero.
Work changes mechanical energy.
Examples
Friction
Drag (air resistance)
Conservation of mechanical energy does not hold!

A: W1 + W2 = 0 or W1 + W3 = 0
(work along a closed path is zero)

79. Spring example: A 1.60 kg block slides with a speed of 0.950 m/s …
v = 0.95 m/s

80. Work Done by Nonconservative Forces
Nonconservative forces change mechanical energy. They add or remove energy to the system. If nonconservative work is negative, as it is for friction, the mechanical energy of the system will drop and the amount of energy lost is equivalent to the work done by the non conservative force.

81. Sample problem: Catching a wave, a 72-kg surfer starts with a speed of 1.3 m/s, drops through a height of 1.75 m, and ends with a speed of 8.2 m/s. How much non-conservative work was done on the surfer?

83. Fwater (Nonconservative)
Sample problem: A 1.75-kg rock is released from rest at the surface of a pond 1.00 m deep. As the rock falls, a constant upward force of 4.10 N is exerted on it by water resistance. Calculate the nonconservative work, WNC, done by the water resistance on the rock, the gravitational PE of the system, GPE, the kinetic energy of the rock, KE, and the total mechanical energy of the system, E, for the following depths below the water’s surface: d = 0 m, d = m, d = 1.00 m. Let GPE be zero at the bottom of the pond.
h=0
d=0
d=0.5
d=1
Fg (conservative)
Fwater (Nonconservative) E0
E0.5 E1
As the rock sinks, it looses energy since the water resistance force is doing negative work. The amount of energy lost is equal to the work done by the force of the water.
