Energy and Work
Work, W, is the process of energy transfer in which a
force component parallel to the path acts over a
distance; individually it effects a change in energy
of the “system”.
1. K or Kinetic Energy
2. U or Potential Energy (Conservative)
and if there are losses (e.g., friction, non-conservative)
3. ETh Thermal Energy
Positive W if energy transferred to a system

There is no transformation because
energy is conserved.

Example: Hooke’s Law Spring (xi equilibrium)
How much will the spring compress (i.e. x = xf - xi) to bring
the box to a stop (i.e., v = 0 ) if the object is moving initially at a
constant velocity (vi) on frictionless surface as shown below

Conservative Forces & Potential Energy
 For any conservative force F we can define a potential energy
function U in the following way:
W =
 F ·dr ≡ - U
The work done by a conservative force is equal and opposite to
the change in the potential energy function. r

Physics 207: Lecture 15, Pg 12
Conservative Forces and Potential Energy
 So we can also describe work and changes in
potential energy (for conservative forces)
U = - W
 Recalling (if 1D)
W = Fx x
 Combining these two,
U = - Fx x
 Letting small quantities go to infinitesimals,
dU = - Fx dx
 Or,
Fx = -dU / dx

Exercise
Work Done by Gravity
 An frictionless track is at an angle of 30° with respect to the
horizontal. A cart (mass 1 kg) is released from rest. It slides
1 meter downwards along the track bounces and then
slides upwards to its original position.
 How much total work is done by gravity on the cart when it
reaches its original position? (g = 10 m/s2)

(A) 5 J
(B) 10 J
(C) 20 J
h = 1 m sin 30°
= 0.5 m
(D) 0 J

A Non-Conservative Force
Path 2
Path 1
Since path2 distance >path1 distance the puck will be traveling
slower at the end of path 2.
Work done by a non-conservative force irreversibly removes
energy out of the “system”.
Here WNC = Efinal - Einitial < 0  and reflects Ethermal

Work & Power:
 Two cars go up a hill, a Corvette and a ordinary
Chevy Malibu. Both cars have the same mass.
 Assuming identical friction, both engines do the same
amount of work to get up the hill.
 Are the cars essentially the same ?
 NO. The Corvette can get up the hill quicker
 It has a more powerful engine.

Example:
 A person, mass 80.0 kg, runs up 2 floors (8.0 m). If
they climb it in 5.0 sec, what is the average power
used?
 Pavg = F h / t = mgh / t = 80.0 x 9.80 x 8.0 / 5.0 W
 P = 1250 W

Chap. 12: Rotational Dynamics
 Up until now rotation has been only in terms of circular motion
with ac = v2 / R and | aT | = d| v | / dt
 Rotation is common in the world around us.
 Many ideas developed for translational motion are transferable.
Physics 207: Lecture 15, Pg 24
