Work & EnergyWork & Energy

One of the most important concepts in physics.Alternative approach to mechanics.

Many applications beyond mechanics.Thermodynamics (movement of heat).Quantum mechanics...

Very useful tools.You will learn new (sometimes much easier) ways to

solve problems.

Forms of EnergyForms of Energy

KineticKinetic: Energy of motion.A car on the highway has kinetic energy.

We have to remove this energy to stop it.The breaks of a car get HOT !This is an example of turning one form of energy into

another. (More about this soon)...

Energy ConservationEnergy Conservation Energy cannot be destroyed or created.

Just changed from one form to another.

We say energy is conservedenergy is conserved !True for any isolated system. i.e when we put on the brakes, the kinetic energy of the car is turned into heat using friction in the brakes. The total energy of the “car-breaks-road-atmosphere” system is the same.The energy of the car “alone” is not conserved...

» It is reduced by the braking.

Doing “workwork” on a system will change it’s “energyenergy”...

This does not depend on time !

Power is the “rate of doing work”:

If the force does not depend on

time: W/ t = FF. SS/ t = FF.v v P = FF.vv

Conservation of EnergyConservation of Energy

If only conservative forces are present, the total energy If only conservative forces are present, the total energy (sum of potential and kinetic energies) of a system(sum of potential and kinetic energies) of a system is is conserved (i.e. constant).conserved (i.e. constant).

E = K + U is constantconstant !!!!!!

Both K and U can change as long as E = K + U is constant.

Vertical Springs and HOOKE’S LAWVertical Springs and HOOKE’S LAW

A spring is hung vertically, it’s relaxed position at y=0 (a). When a mass m is hung from it’s end, the new equilibrium position is yE (b).

Hook’s Law relates the force exerted by the spring with the elongation of the spring

Force exerted by the spring is directly proportional to it’s elongation from it’s resting position

F=-kx(negative sign shows that the force is in the opposite direction of the force)

F=mg when spring is elongated and nonmoving so that mg=kx

If we choose x = 0 to be at the equilibrium position of the mass hanging on the spring, we can define the potential in the simple form.

Notice that g does not appear in this expression !!By choosing our coordinates and constants cleverly, we can hide

the effects of gravity.

Non-conservative Forces:Non-conservative Forces:

If the work done does not depend on the path taken, the force involved is said to be conservative.

If the work done does depend on the path taken, the force involved is said to be non-conservative.

An example of a non-conservative force is friction:

Pushing a box across the floor, the amount of work that is done by friction depends on the path taken.Work done is proportional to the length of the path !

Page 33: Physics II Today’s Agenda

Honors Physics, Pg 33

Non-conservative Forces: FrictionNon-conservative Forces: Friction

Suppose you are pushing a box across a flat floor. The mass of the box is m and the kinetic coefficient of friction is . The work done in pushing it a distance D is given by:

Wf = FFf ..DD = -mgD.

Ff = -mg

Page 34: Physics II Today’s Agenda

Honors Physics, Pg 34

Non-conservative Forces: FrictionNon-conservative Forces: Friction

Since the force is constant in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the displacement, the work done in pushing the box through an arbitrary path of length L is just Wf = -mgL.

Clearly, the work done depends on the path taken.

Generalized Work Energy Theorem:Generalized Work Energy Theorem:

Suppose FNET = FC + FNC (sum of conservative and non-conservative forces).

The total work done is: WTOT = WC + WNC

The Work Kinetic-Energy theorem says that: WTOT = K.

WTOT = WC + WNC = K

But WC = -U

So WNC = K + U = E or WNC = Ei - Ef

Page 36: Physics II Today’s Agenda

Honors Physics, Pg 36

Generalized Work Energy Theorem:Generalized Work Energy Theorem:

The change in total energy of a system is equal to the work done on it by non-conservative forces. E of system not conserved ! Or the Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy + Internal Energy is a constant equal to the Total Energy

If all the forces are conservative, we know that energy is conserved: K + U = E = 0 which says that WNC = 0,which makes sense.

If some non-conservative force (like friction) does work,energy will not be conserved by an amount equal to this work, which also makes sense.

WNC = K + U = E
