sections 7.7 and 7.9.
A problem set HW07A is already open and due next
Tuesday. It covers sections 1 – 3, 8, and 9 in
Chapter 7.
A problem set HW07B on sections 4 – 6 (collisions)
will be posted soon and due next Thursday.

Energy Conservation
When only conservative forces act on a system,
energy is conserved.
All of the fundamental forces in the universe are
conservative.
That means that if you keep track of the total energy
in a closed system, it can never increase or
decrease – it can only change form.

Energy Conservation
The total energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and
the potential energy of an object.
The potential energy is the amount of work it took to
put the object in its current position. It is normally
written as U.
For example, the potential energy of a book of mass
m on top of a cabinet of height h is U = mgh.
The potential energy of a spring compressed or
stretched a distance x from equilibrium is
U = ½ kx2.

Power
Power is the rate of doing work: P = W/t.
If the force F acts in the direction of motion, then
P = Fv
(instantaneous)
These are consistent because x = v t is the distance
traveled, so
P = F v = F x/t = W/t.
Horsepower:
1 hp = 746 W.

The Effect of a Force over Time
→
We say that when a force F acts for time t, a mass
acquires momentum
→
→
→
m v = m a t = F t.
If the force is changing, we can use the timeaveraged force:
→
→
m v = Favg t .
The right-hand side of the equation is called the
impulse.

Impulse and Momentum
→
→
The momentum can be written as p = mv.
→
→
The impulse can be written J = Favg t.
Newton’s second law implies that the net impulse
equals the change in momentum.

Impulsive Forces
Momentum can be
used in any
dynamical situation,
but is especially
useful for impulsive
forces, which act
over a short time.
The impulse is the
area under the
curve,
geometrically.

Impulse and Average Force
The impulse is also
equal to the average
force times the
time interval:

J(t) = Favg Dt

Conservation of Momentum
If there is no external force on a system of
objects, then its total momentum cannot
change, since there is no net impulse.
The total momentum of a system isolated
from external forces is conserved.

Center of Mass
The center of mass a set of objects is the average
position of their mass. For two objects in 1D:
x cm =
x 1 m1 + x 2 m2
m1 + m 2

In more dimensions you can use vectors to
locate the CM:

rcm =

Motion of the Center of Mass
If an external force F acts on an extended object or
collection of objects of mass M, the acceleration of the
CM is given by
F = Macm.
You can apply Newton’s 2nd Law as if it were a particle
located at the CM, as far as the collective motion is
concerned.
This says nothing about the relative motion, rotation,
etc., about the CM. That comes up in chapter 8.

Motion of Extended Objects
The motion of extended objects or collections of
particles is such that the CM obeys Newton’s 2nd
Law.

Motion of the Center of Mass
The CM of a wrench sliding on a frictionless table will move in
a straight line because there is no external force. In this
sense, the wrench may be though of as a particle located
at the CM.

Motion of the Center of Mass
For example, if a hammer is thrown, its CM follows a
parabolic trajectory under the influence of gravity,
as a point object would.

Compressed Spring
When a box is set
gently on a spring,
it compresses it a
distance d.
What would happen if
I hold it at the
uncompressed
position, and then
let go?

Then what happens?
Where does the box
attain its maximum
speed?
v is maximum where U
is a minimum.
This is the equilibrium
position.

with k = mg/d.
v2 = 2gd – gd = gd.
