Work, Energy, and Power
• Work
– Work tells us how much a force or combination of
forces changes the energy of a system.
– Work is the bridge between force (a vector) and
energy (a scalar).
– W = F ∆r cos θ
• F: force (N)
• ∆r : displacement (m)
• θ : angle between force and displacement
Work
Work is the exertion of a force in the
direction that an object moves
Work is tied to motion: No motion, no
work!
Equal to the magnitude of the force times
the magnitude of the displacement
Units are Joules (1 J = 1 N-m)
For a force in line with the motion:
W  F d
20 N
Moves
20m
Ex: A weight lifter is bench pressing a
barbell whose weight is 710N. He raises
and lowers the barbell 0.65 m at a constant
velocity. How much work is done raising
the barbell? Lowering it?
W  F  d  710 N  0.65m  461 .5 J
The work lowering the weight is -461.5J
If force is at an angle, only the portion of
the force in the direction of the motion
creates work:
F
θ
W  ( F cos )  r
Ex: How much work is done to pull a kid
in a wagon for 22 meters with a force of
40N on a handle that is at a 48 degree
angle from the ground?
W  ( F cos )  d  40N cos(48)  22m  588.835J
• Force and direction of motion both
matter in defining work!
– There is no work done by a force if it causes
no displacement
– Forces can do positive, negative, or zero
work. When a box is pushed on a flat floor
for example
• The normal force and gravity do not
work, since they are perpendicular to the
direction of motion Cos (90º) = 0
• The person pushing the box does positive
work, since she is pushing in the direction
of motion.
Cos (0º) =+1
• Friction does negative work, since it
points opposite the direction of motion
Cos (180º) =-1

stands still, how much work does he do on the box?

Work Energy Theorem
Work changes mechanical energy!
Theorem relates work to this change.
Deals only with the work done by the NET
FORCE, not individual forces.
If an applied force does positive work on a
system, it tries to increase mechanical
energy.
If an applied force does negative work, it
tries to decrease mechanical energy.
The two forms of mechanical energy are
called potential and kinetic energy.
v = instantaneous velocity (initial or final) –
work is done to accelerate objects and change
their velocity

• A father pulls his child in a little red wagon with constant speed. If the

slope. The slope suddenly flattens out and he slows
down to 1.2 m/s. How much work did the snow do on

Why did the angle not impact the work done?
Because does not matter what direction we take for
work. We look at the beginning energy and the final
energy
Work done by Gravity
Gravitational Potential Energy – energy due to an
objects position relative to the earth
The object has the potential to do work if it can fall
because of gravity
W  Fd  mad
Work gravity  Ug  m  g  h
Units: Joules (J)
For springs: Us = ½ k x2
k: spring force constant
x: displacement from equilibrium position
• Law of Conservation of Energy
– In any isolated system, the total energy remains
constant.
– Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can
only be transformed from one type of energy to
another.
• Conservation of Mechanical Energy
– Total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) of
an object remains constant provided the net
work done is by gravity
KEo  PEo  KE f  PE f
• Conservative forces and Potential energy
– Wc = -∆U
– If a conservative force does positive work on a system,
potential energy is lost.
– If a conservative force does negative work, potential
energy is gained.
• For gravity
– Wg = -∆Ug = -(mghf – mghi)
• For springs
– Ws = - ∆ Us = -(½ k xf2 – ½ k xi2)
• As an Acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a

W=?m
U = mgh
mg= U / h

Work Energy Theorem
Result of doing work is a change in kinetic
energy.
Theorem relates work to this change.
Deals only with the work done by the NET
FORCE, not individual forces.
The net work due to all forces equals the
change in the kinetic energy of a system.
W1+W2+W3+ …..Wn = ΔK
 Wnet = ΔK
Wnet: work due to all forces acting on an object
ΔK: change in kinetic energy (Kf – Ki)

power company.
– Power companies charge you by the kilowatt-hour

• When a spring is stretched or compressed from its
equilibrium position, it does negative work, since the
spring pulls opposite the direction of motion.
– Ws = - ½ k x2
– Ws: work done by spring (J)
– k: force constant of spring (N/m)
– x: displacement from equilibrium (m)

It takes 180 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10 m.
a)What is the force constant of the spring?

Fs = -k(-x) k= -2Ws / x2
Fs = k(x)
Fs
k= -2(-180 J) / (0.1m)2 = 36000 N/m
b) To compress the spring an additional 0.10 m, does it take
180 J, more than 180 J, or less than 180 J? Verify your
answer with a calculation.
W = -1/2k(2x)2

Ws = -1/2kx2
Ws = -1/2∙36000∙(0.2)2 = -720 J

A vertical spring (ignore its mass) whose spring constant is

a) What speed can it give to a 0.300 kg ball when released?

W = Kf – Ki
v0 = 0 m/s
W = 1/2 mvf2 – 1/2 mvi2
1/2kx2 = 1/2 mvf2
v = √(kx2 / m) = √(900 n/m∙ (0.15m)2 / 0.3kg) = 9.22 m/s
b) How high above its original position (spring
compressed) will the ball fly? v = 0 m/s
W = ∆K
W = Kf – Ki
F ∆r cos (180) = - 1/2 mvi2
-F ∆r = - 1/2 mvi2
mg ∆r = 1/2 mvi2
g ∆r = ½ vi2
∆r = ½ vi2/ g = ½ (9.22 m/s)2/ 9.8 m/s2 = 4.34 m
We define the direction in the direction of the applied
force, so the Fspring is in opposite direction
• Force types
– Forces acting on a system can be divided into
two types according to how they affect potential
energy.
– Conservative forces can be related to potential
energy changes.
– Non-conservative forces cannot be related to
potential energy changes.
– So, how exactly do we distinguish between these
two types of forces?
• Conservative forces
• Work is path independent.
– Work can be calculated from the starting and ending
points only.
– The actual path is ignored in calculations.
• Work along a closed path is zero.
– If the starting and ending points are the same, no work
is done by the force.
• Work changes potential energy.
• Examples:
– Gravity
– Spring force
• Conservation of mechanical energy holds!
• Non-conservative forces
• Work is path dependent.
– Knowing the starting and ending points is not sufficient
to calculate the work.
• Work along a closed path is NOT zero.
• Work changes mechanical energy.
• Examples:
– Friction
– Drag (air resistance)
• Conservation of mechanical energy does not hold!
