Energy Overview

Everyone has some sense of what energy means.

• Moving objects have energy.

• Energy is the ability to make things happen.

• Energy is associated with heat and with electricity.

• We’re constantly told to conserve energy.

• Living organisms need energy.

• Engineers harness energy to do useful things.

Some scientists consider the law of conservation of energy to be the most important of all the laws of nature.


Kinetic Energy K

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

All moving objects have kinetic energy.

The more massive an object or the faster it moves, the larger its kinetic energy.

Slide 9-10


Potential Energy U

Potential energy is stored energy associated with an object’s position.

The roller coaster’s gravitational potential energy depends on its height above the ground.


Thermal Energy Eth

Thermal energy is the sum of the microscopic kinetic and potential energies of all the atoms and bonds that make up the object.

An object has more thermal energy when hot than when cold.

The System and the Environment

Within a system, energy can be transformed from one type to another.

As long as the system is not interacting with the environment, the total energy of the system is unchanged.

A process that transfers energy to or from a system by mechanical means is called work, with the symbol W.

A process that transfers energy to or from a system by thermal means is called heat.


Energy Transfer Example

System:The shot

Transfer: W → K

The athlete (the environment) does work pushing the shot to give it kinetic energy.

Putting a shot

Slide 9-14


Energy Transfer Example

System:The slingshot

Transfer: W → U

The boy (the environment) does work by stretching the rubber band to give it potential energy.

Pulling a slingshot


Energy Transformation Example

System:The diver and the earth

Transfer: U → K

The diver is speeding up as gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Energy Transformation Example

System:The meteor and the air

Transfer: K → Eth

The meteor and the air get hot enough to glow as the meteor’s kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.

The Energy Principle

Transformations of energy within a system move the energy around but don’t change the total energy of the system.

Change occurs only when there’s a transfer of energy between the system and the environment.

If we treat incoming energy as a positive transfer and outgoing energy as a negative transfer, and with work being the only energy-transfer process that we consider for now, we can write

where the subscript on W refers to external work done by the environment.

This is called the energy principle.

Slide 9-18


The Basic Energy Model


Work and Kinetic Energy for a Single Particle Consider one particle acted

on by one constant force that acts parallel to the direction of motion, pushing or pulling on the particle as it undergoes a displacement ∆s.

We define the particle to be the system while the agent of the force is in the environment.

The figure shows both an interaction diagram and a before-and-after representation.

Work and Kinetic Energy for a Single Particle

We can define a new quantity called the kinetic energy of the particle:

K depends on the particle’s mass and speed but not on its position.

For the case in which a single constant force acts on a single particle, K changes in direct proportion to the distance traveled.

The SI unit of K is given its own name, the joule:

1 joule = 1 J = 1 kg m2/s2


Work and Kinetic Energy for a Single Particle

The work done on a one-particle system causes the system’s kinetic energy to change:

For the case of a constant force parallel to the direction of motion (the s-axis), the work is an integral:

The SI unit of W is the same as for K: the joule.Slide 9-22


Signs of Work

Work can be either positive or negative.

If the force causes the particle to speed up, then the work done by that force is positive.

Negative work means that the force is causing the object to slow and lose energy.

The sign of W is determined by the force direction and the displacement direction.


Work Done by a Constant Force

A force acts with a constant strength and in a constant direction as a particle moves along a straight line through a displacement

The work done by this force is

Here θ is the angle makes relative to

The Dot Product of Two Vectors

The figure shows two vectors, and , with angle α between them.

The dot product of and is defined as

The dot product is also called the scalar productbecause the value is a scalar.

Zero-Work Situations

The figure shows a particle moving in uniform circular motion.

At every point in the motion, Fs, the component of the force parallel to the instantaneous displacement, is zero.

The particle’s speed, and hence its kinetic energy, doesn’t change, so W = ΔK = 0.

A force everywhere perpendicular to the motion does no work.

Zero-Work Situations

Consider the roller skater shown who straightens her arms and pushes off from a wall.

By Newton’s third law, the wall applies a force on her.

Although the skater’s center of mass is displaced, the palms of her hands—where the force is exerted—are not.

The force acts, but the force doesn’t push any physical thing through a displacement.

Hence no work is done!Slide 9-45


The Work Done by a Variable Force

To calculate the work done on an object by a force that either changes in magnitude or direction as the object moves, we use the following:

We must evaluate the integral either geometrically, by finding the area under the curve, or by actually doing the integration.

Restoring Forces and Hooke’s Law If you stretch a rubber band, a force tries to pull the rubber

band back to its equilibrium, or unstretched, length.

A force that restores a system to an equilibrium position is called a restoring force.

If you stretch (or compress) an elastic object such as a spring, measurements show that

• The force provided by the spring is opposite the displacement.

• If you don’t stretch or compress the spring too much, the force provided by the spring is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium.

The relationship between the force and displacement of a spring was discovered by Robert Hooke, a contemporary of Newton.

Slide 9-50


Hooke’s Law

One end of a spring is attached to a fixed wall.

(FSp)s is the force produced by the free end of the spring.

Δs = s – seq is the displacement from equilibrium.

The minus sign is the mathematical indication of a restoring force.

The constant k is called the spring constant of the spring.

Stick-Slip Motion Earthquakes are an example of stick-slip motion. Tectonic plates are attempting to slide past each other,

but friction causes the edges of the plates to stick together.

Large masses of rock are somewhat elastic and can be “stretched.”

Eventually the elastic force of the deformed rocks exceeds the friction force between the plates.

An earthquake occurs as the plates slip and lurch forward.

The slip can range from a few centimeters in a relatively small earthquake to several meters in a very large earthquake.


Work Done by Springs

Shown is a spring acting on an object as it moves from si

to sf.

The spring’s work can be computed by integrating:

The solution to this integral is

view of the same object. The total kinetic energy of

all the atoms is Kmicro. The total potential energy

of all the atoms is Umicro. The thermal energy of the

Thermal Energy


Dissipative Forces

As two objects slide against each other, atomic interactions at the boundary transform the kinetic energy Kmacro into thermal energy in both objects:

Kinetic friction is a dissipative force.

Dissipative Forces

The figure shows a box being pulled at a constant speed across a horizontal surface with friction.

Both the surface and the box are getting warmer as it slides:

Dissipative forces always increase the thermal energy; they never decrease it.

Power

Work is a transfer of energy between the environment and a system.

In many situations we would like to know how quickly the energy is transferred.

The rate at which energy is transferred or transformed is called the power P:

The SI unit of power is the watt, which is defined as

1 watt = 1 W = 1 J/s

The English unit of power is the horsepower, hp:

1 hp = 746 W


Examples of Power

Slide 9-66


Power

When energy is transferred by a force doing work, power is the rate of doing work: P = dW/dt.

If the particle moves at velocity while acted on by force , the power delivered to the particle is
