Chapter 3 - Energy
Changes in motion and position
-involves forces
leads to changes in energy
ENERGY - ability to do work
position change, motion change:
study, mow lawn, wind mill
MECHANICAL WORK -
transformation of forces into energy
force must move object-displacement
no force
no movement } no work
W = Fdd
Fd = 1 N
d = 1m
Fdoes
no work
W = Fdd = (1 N)(1 m) = 1 N m (kg m2/s2)
= 1 Joule = 1J
Force in direction of motion
EXAMPLE : weight liftingWork to lift a 100 kg barball a distance of 1 m
( @ constant speed)
d=h=1m
m = 100 kg
Lift w/ no a
Fnet = 0 = weight-Fup
Fup=W=mg
in direction of motion
Fup W
W = Fdd = Fupd = (mg)h =
(100 kg)(10 m/s2)(1 m)
1000 kg m2/s2 = 1000 J
mechanical work to change the position of the object
Note: no mechanical work done to hold barbelld=0 when holding still above head
to=0xo=0vox =0
t = 5s
vx =20 m/s
x =ax
Another example : car racingA 1000 kg car goes from 0 to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. How much work is done (by the engine)?
CONNECT Newton’s 2nd law
F=ma engine accelerates car
W = Fdd = Fxd maxd
Work changes the motion of the car
WORK - forces used to give energy
to an object
motional energy
positional energy
chemical, electrical, heat
}MECHANICALENERGY
Power - rate at which work is done
how fast work is done
Powerful: can do work fast
Power (P) = (Work-Energy)/time = W/t
J/s = Watt = W SI unit for power
Light bulb: 75 W
How much (work) energy in 1 hour?
P = (W-E)/ t E = W = Pt
HORSEPOWER: compare machines to horses
P = W/ t= (Fdd)/t = Fd (d/ t) = Fdv
1 hp = 1 horsepower = 746 W
Other Power units:megawatt = MW = 106 WPOWER COMPANIES
F=150 lbs English unit hpv= 2.5 mph 550 ft-lb/s
KINETIC ENERGY - energy associated with the motion of an object
Applied forces cause objects to move - accelerates
motional energy – mass and velocity
velocity influences more
K=1/2 mv2 work increases velocity
Work-Energy Theorem
W = KE change in kinetic
= 1/2 mv2 -1/2 mvo2
Work to bring an object to rest:
W=1/2 mv2 just the KE
Car example:W= 200,000 JW= KE = ½ mv2
What is the velocity?
another way of looking at the problem!
POTENTIAL ENERGY - energy associated
with the position of an object
potential for doing work
drop rock – falls –
gains KE (motional)
Transforms force of gravity into KE of motion- does work when released
Definition: PE = -W work to achieveposition
Gravitational Potential Energy –work required to raise the object to a
particular height
PEgrav = Fdd = (mg)h
=mgh like barbell
h
zero reference – always be consistent in zero height
h=0
h=-2m
h= 3m
Other types of PE
SPRINGS PE= ½ kx2
change position by compressing
zero – uncompressed
Electrical – work to move charge
Chemical – work to break bond
MECHANICAL ENERGY
Energy associated with the mechanical work on an object – motional and positional
E = KE + PE(grav)sum of both
The mechanical energy is conserved
when friction absent
FRICTION – nonconservative
– heats environment
Law of CONSERVATION OF (MECHANICAL) ENERGY -energy is neither created or destroyed
-assumption: no friction present
E = KE+PE =constant energies transformednot lost
Conservation of energy
E=KE+PE relates motion and position
Einitial = Efinal can solve for position
or motion (v)
EXAMPLE: ROLLER COASTER
A 100 kg rollercoaster moves along the track
shown starting from rest.
For each position marked, find the:
mechanical energy
potential energy
kinetic energy
velocity
h=0PE=0
100 m
50 m30 m
vi=0
NO FRICTION
We will be looking at simpler problems
EXAMPLE: A 1.4 kg PSC book is
dropped out of a 20 m high building.
a) What is the PE at the top?
b) What is the KE at the bottom?
c) What is the velocity of the book at the bottom?
h=0PE=0
20 m
NOTE: PE at the top is transformed into
KE at the bottom!
E= (KE+PE)top = (KE+PE) bot
PEtop = KEbot
0 0
no energy lost – just transformed
All Energy Is Conserved!!!
Can work problems with friction and other forces-leave this for more advanced course, but
if whole system considered
Etot = PEgrav + PEother + KE
GENERALIZED WORK-ENERGY THEOREM

NOW ALL ENERGY IS CONSERVED – everywhere the energy goes is taken care of

• Energy Flow.
• Work and Energy.– Energy is used to do work on an
object, exerting a force through a distance.
– This force is usually against something and there are five main groups of resistance.• Work against inertia.
–Since inertia is an objects resistance to change of motion, it naturally follows that this would resist forces acting upon it.
• Work against fundamental forces.
–Gravitational attraction.
–Electromagnetic forces.
–Nuclear forces.
• Work against friction
–Friction is always present when two objects are in contact with each other.
–Friction is always a force in the opposite direction of the applied force.
• Work against shape.–Work is needed to stretch or
compress an object.
–This is what happens when we work against the shape of a spring.
• Work against any combination of inertia, fundamental forces, friction, or shape.
– Some kind of energy change has taken place, which may include one of the following:• Increased kinetic energy.
–Work against inertia results in energy of motion for an object.
• Increased potential energy.
–Work against fundamental forces and work against shape result in an increase in energy of position (potential energy)
• Increased temperature.
–Work against friction always results in an increase in temperature.
• Increased combination of kinetic energy, potential energy, and/or temperature.
• Energy Forms. (five forms).– Mechanical energy.
• Usually associated with the kinetic energy of everyday objects and potential energy that results from the effect of gravity.
Mechanical energy is the energy of motion, or the energy of position, of many familiar
objects. This boat has energy of motion.
– Chemical energy.
• Chemical energy is the form of energy associated with chemical reactions.
• Chemical energy is released during the process known as oxidation.
• Chemical energy is potential energy that is released when chemical reactions break bonds in molecules.
Chemical energy is a form of potential energy that is released during a chemical
reaction. Both (A) wood and (B) coal have chemical energy that has been
stored through the process of photosynthesis. The pile of wood may provide fuel for a small fireplace for several days. The pile of coal might provide fuel for a power plant for a
hundred days.
– Radiant energy.
• Radiant energy is the form of energy that travels through space.
• Also called electromagnetic radiation.
• Visible light is one small part of the electromagnetic radiation.
• Largest form of energy Earth receives
The electromagnetic spectrum includes
many forms of radiant energy. Note that
visible light occupies only a tiny part of the
entire spectrum.
– Electrical energy.
• Electrical energy is a form of energy that comes from electromagnetic interactions.
• Electrical energy that travels through the wires in our homes to light or houses is a familiar form of electrical energy.
The blades of a steam turbine. In a power plant, chemical or nuclear energy is used to heat water to steam, which is directed against the turbine blades. The mechanical energy of the turbine turns
an electric generator. Thus a power plant converts chemical or nuclear energy to
mechanical energy, which is then converted to electrical energy.
– Nuclear energy.
• this is the form of energy generated in nuclear power plants.
• Fission-split heavy nucleus
• Fusion-combine light nucleus
• E=mc2
• Energy Conversion.
– Energy can be converted from one form to another.
– For example, during a fall PE lost = KE gained
– mgh = 1/2mv2
– Solving for vf
– vf = 2gh
– This allows you to calculate the final velocity of a falling object after its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
This pendulum bob loses potential energy (PE) and gains an equal amount
of kinetic energy (KE) as it falls through as distance h. The process reverses as the bob moves up the other side of its
swing.
The energy
forms and some
conversion pathways.
• Energy Conservation.
– Any form of energy can be converted into another form.
– The total amount of energy remains constant.
– Law of Conservation of Energy:
• Energy is never created or destroyed. Energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total energy remains constant.
• Energy Sources Today.
– Petroleum is our most widely used source of energy.
• Petroleum provides about 40 percent of the energy used by the US.
– Natural gas provides about 20 percent of our energy needs.
– Coal provides about 25 percent of our energy needs.
– Alternative energies (solar, wind, geothermal) provide less than 2 percent of the total.
– Over 99 percent of our energy needs are supplied by 4 sources:
• Petroleum.
• Coal.
• Hydropower.
• Nuclear.
(A) The sources of energy and
(B) the uses of energy during the
1990s.
• Petroleum.
– Petroleum is oil that comes from oil bearing rocks.
– Petroleum and natural gas come from organic sediments, material that have settled out of water.
– Most of the organic material comes from plankton. The process of converting organisms into petroleum and natural gas takes millions of years.
– Natural gas forms under higher temperatures than petroleum.
• Coal.
– Coal forms from an accumulation of plant materials that collected millions of years ago.
– Carbon rich decayed plant material is called peat.
– Pressure, compaction, and heating are brought about by movement of the Earth's crust eventually change the water content and release the carbon in the materials, it has now begun the process toward coal formation.
– Coal is ranked according to how long it took to form and how hard it is.• Lignite is the lowest ranked and is
softest, took the least time to form, and burns quickest so contains the least amount of usable energy.
• Bituminous is the next highest raking.
• Anthracite is the hardest and took the longest to form and so contains the most usable energy.
• Softer coal also has more impurities which contribute to increased pollution levels.
• Water Power.
– Moving water is a source of renewable energy that has been used for thousands of years.
– At present in the US we have built about all of the hydropower plants that we can as we have no usable sources of moving water left.
• Nuclear Power.
– Nuclear power plants use the energy that is release from the splitting of uranium atoms and plutonium atoms to produce electrical energy.
