WORK
The work dW done on a particle
displaced along differential path
dr, by an object exerting force F is
defined as
 
dW  F  dr

dr
The SI unit of work is
1J = 1N·1m
We can define work in an integral form:
 
W   F  dr
path
For the work done on an object, one must specify on which point
associated with the object the work is done (the center of mass,
the point of the force application ... ).
kinetic energy
A particle with mass m, moving with speed v has
kinetic energy K of
mv 2
K
2
Note. Kinetic energy is used to describe the motion of an
object. When an object is approximated by a particle, the
kinetic energy defined above is called the translational kinetic
energy of the object.

In an inertial reference frame, the work dW done by all
the forces exerted on the particle (the net force) is equal
to the change in the kinetic energy dK of the particle
dW = dK
In an integral form: W = K

Power
The power of a force is defined as the rate at which work is
done by that force.

Conservative Interaction
If the work done by a “force” on an object moving
between two positions is independent of the path of
the motion, the force is called a conservative force.
B
All other forces are nonconservative.
A
(Theorem)
The work done by a conservative force around a loop
(the object returns to its initial position) is zero.
conservative interactions : gravitational, elastic, electrostatic.
Potential Energy
If a force exerted on a particle is conservative, the
change in potential energy dU from one position
to another is defined by the work dW performed
by that force
dU  - dW
(or U = -W )
This definition assigns potential energy
only with accuracy to a constant.

Energy Conservation
• All concepts of energy are defined in such a way that
energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can
be converted from one form to another.
• The total energy of an isolated system is always
constant.
Work-Energy Theorem II
If some forces exerted on a particle are
conservative, the work Wnc, done by all forces not
included in the potential energy, is equal to the
change in the mechanical energy E of the particle.
