1. Work & Energy

2. Energy is Conserved Energy is “Conserved” meaning it can not be created nor destroyed –Can change form –Can be transferred Total Energy does not change with time. This is a BIG deal!

3. Energy Forms –Kinetic Energy Motion (Today) –Potential Energy Stored (Wednesday) –Heat later –Mass (E=mc 2 ) 1161 Units Joules = kg m 2 / s 2

4. The definition of work, when the force is parallel to the displacement: (7-1) SI work unit: newton-meter (N·m) = joule, J Work

5. Typical Work

6. Work done may be positive, zero, or negative, depending on the angle between the force and the displacement: Positive & Negative Work

7. If the force is at an angle to the displacement: (7-3) Only the horizontal component of the force does any work (horizontal displacement). Force at an Angle Work

8. Work by Constant Force at Angle You pull a 30 N chest 5 meters across the floor at a constant speed by applying a force of 50 N at an angle of 30 degrees. How much work is done by the 50 N force? 30 50 N W = T cos   x  cos (30)  m) = 217 Joules T mg N f TxTx TyTy

10. Perpendicular Force and Work A car is traveling on a curved highway. The force due to friction f s points toward the center of the circular path. How much work does the frictional force do on the car? Zero! General Result: A force that is everywhere perpendicular to the motion does no work.

11. Work Done by Gravity In lifting an object of weight mg by a height h, the person doing the lifting does an amount of work W = mgh. If the object is subsequently allowed to fall a distance h, gravity does work W = mgh on the object.

12. ACTS: Ball Toss You toss a ball in the air. What is the work done by gravity as the ball goes up? A) PositiveB) NegativeC) Zero What is the work done by gravity as the ball goes down? A) PositiveB) NegativeC) Zero

13. When positive work is done on an object, its speed increases; when negative work is done, its speed decreases. Work By Gravity

14. Kinetic Energy: Motion Apply constant net force along x- direction to an object m. W = F x  x = m a  x = ½ m (v 2 – v 0 2 ) Work changes ½ m v 2 Voila – new concept: Define Kinetic Energy K = ½ m v 2 W =  K

15. Work-Energy Theorem: The total work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy. (7-7) Work-Energy Theorem

16. Falling Ball Example A ball falls a distance 5 meters, what is final speed? Only force/work done by gravity  W =  KE W g = ½ m(v f 2 – v i 2 ) F g h = ½m v f 2 mgh = ½m v f 2 V f = sqrt( 2 g h ) = 10 m/s mg

17. Work: Energy Transfer due to Force Force to lift trunk at constant speed –Case a T a – mg = 0 T = mg –Case b 2T b - mg =0 or T = ½ mg But in case b, trunk only moves ½ distance you pull rope. F * distance is same in both! TaTa mg TbTb TbTb

18. Loading with a Crane A 3,000 kg truck is to be loaded onto a ship by a crane that exerts an upward force of 31 kN on the truck. This force, which is large enough to overcome the gravitational force and keep the truck moving upward, is applied over a distance of 2.0 m. (a) Find the work done on the truck by the crane. (b) Find the work done on the truck by gravity. (c) Find the net work done on the truck.

21. Preflight 3 You are towing a car up a hill with constant velocity. The work done on the car by the tension force is: 1. positive 2. negative 3. zero “work done by tension is positive because the angle of the force is between 0 and 90” W T FNFN V correct 63% 25% 12%

23. Preflight 4 You are towing a car up a hill with constant velocity. The total work done on the car by all forces is: 1. positive 2. negative 3. zero The total work done is positive because the car is moving up the hill. (Not quite!) Total work done on the car is zero because the forces cancel each other out. W T FNFN V correct 63% 12% 25%

24. Block w/ friction A block is sliding on a surface with an initial speed of 5 m/s. If the coefficent of kinetic friction between the block and table is 0.4, how far does the block travel before stopping? 5 m/s mg N f x y Y direction:  F=ma N-mg = 0 N = mg Work W N = 0 W mg = 0 W f = f  x cos(180) = -  mg  x W =  K -  mg  x = ½ m (v f 2 – v 0 2 ) -  g  x = ½ (0 – v 0 2 )  g  x = ½ v 0 2  x = ½ v 0 2 /  g = 3.1 meters
