Work

The work done by a constant force is defined as the distance moved multiplied by the component of the force in the direction of displacement:

θcosFdW

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 160 kg crate 10.3 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the effective coefficient of friction was 0.50?

Work

Energy

Can work be done on a system if there is no motion?

A) Yes, if an outside force is provided.

B) Yes, since motion is only relative.

C) No, since a system which is not moving has no energy.

D) No, because of the way work is defined.

Work done by forces that oppose the direction of motion, such as friction, will be negative.

Centripetal forces do no work, they are always perpendicular to the direction of motion.

Does a centripetal force acting on an object do work on the object?

A) Yes, since a force acts and the object moves, and work is force times distance.

B) No, because the force and the displacement of the object are perpendicular.

C) Yes, since it takes energy to turn an object.

D) No, because the object has constant speed.

(b) If the speed of an arrow is doubled, by what factor does its KE increase?


Energy

Work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy:

• If the net work is positive, the kinetic energy increases.

• If the net work is negative, the kinetic energy decreases.

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy


An object can have potential energy by virtue of its position.

Familiar examples of potential energy:

• A wound-up spring

• A stretched elastic band

• An object at some height above the ground

A spring (with k = 53 N/m) hangs vertically next to a ruler. The end of the spring is next to the 15 cm mark on the ruler. If a 2.5 kg mass is now attached to the end of the spring, where will the end of the spring line up with the ruler marks?

Systems and Energy Conservation

Potential energy can only be defined for conservative forces.

Energy

We distinguish between the work done by conservative forces and the work done by nonconservative forces.

PΔKEΔWNC

We find that the work done by nonconservative forces is equal to the total change in kinetic and potential energies:


Energy

If there are no nonconservative forces, the sum of the changes in the kinetic energy and in the potential energy is zero – the kinetic and potential energy changes are equal but opposite in sign.

This allows us to define the total mechanical energy:
