PHYS-101PHYS-101 III3 Dissipation of EnergyNEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITYFALL 2010-2011 DEAN SIEGLAFF BOB FAIRCHILD NATHANIEL CUNNINGHAM of 10 Non-conservative Forces and the General Work – Energy Theorem The work done by a non-conservative (NC) force depends upon the path of motion. Therefore, when NC forces are involved, the total mechanical energy cannot be conserved. Rather, it can be dissipated or created. AIR DRAG ROCKET THRUST mg F drag mg F thrust a 6

PHYS-101PHYS-101 III3 Dissipation of EnergyNEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITYFALL 2010-2011 DEAN SIEGLAFF BOB FAIRCHILD NATHANIEL CUNNINGHAM of 10 Failure of the Work – Energy Theorem There are cases whereby the mechanical energy of a system cannot be fully accounted for (even taking into consideration the work of NC forces). Two blobs of clay of equal mass and opposite velocity colliding and sticking together. Two freight cars of equal mass and opposite velocity colliding and coupling. In these cases the W NC is ZERO. From the particle dynamics view, a direct transformation from mechanical energy E to thermal energy U has occurred. To find the dissipative forces responsible, one must peer into the internal structure of the bodies. 7
