Kinetic Energy and Work
Introduction to Energy
 The concept of energy is one of the
most important topics in science
 Every physical process that occurs in
the Universe involves energy and
energy transfers or transformations
Work and Energy
Energy: scalar quantity associated with a state (or
condition) of one or more objects.
Work and energy are scalars, measured in N·m or
Joules, J, 1J=kg∙m2/s2
Energy can exist in many forms - mechanical,
electrical, nuclear, thermal, chemical….
Energy Approach to Problems
 The energy approach to describing
motion is particularly useful when the
force is not constant
 An approach will involve Conservation
of Energy
• This could be extended to biological
organisms, technological systems and
engineering situations
Work and Energy
Energy is a conserved quantity - the total
amount of energy in the universe is constant.
Energy can be converted from one type to
another but never destroyed.
Work and energy concepts can simplify solutions of
mechanical problems - they can be used in an
alternative analysis
Systems
 A system is a small portion of the
Universe
• We will ignore the details of the rest of the
Universe
 A critical skill is to identify the system
Valid System
 A valid system may
•
•
•
•
be a single object or particle
be a collection of objects or particles
be a region of space
vary in size and shape
Environment
 There is a system boundary around the
system
• The boundary is an imaginary surface
• It does not necessarily correspond to a
physical boundary
 The boundary divides the system from
the environment
• The environment is the rest of the Universe
Work
 The work, W, done on a system by an
agent exerting a constant force on the
system is the product of the magnitude, F,
of the force, the magnitude Δr of the
displacement of the point of application of
the force, and cos θ, where θ is the angle
between the force and the displacement
vectors
Work

W = F Δr cos θ
• The displacement is that of the point of
application of the force
• A force does no work on the object if the
force does not move through a displacement
• The work done by a force on a moving object
is zero when the force applied is
perpendicular to the displacement of its point
of application
Work Example
 The normal force, n,
and the gravitational
force, mg, do no work
on the object
cos θ = cos 90° = 0
 The force F does do
work on the object
More About Work
 The system and the environment must be

determined when dealing with work
 The environment does work on the system
(Work by the environment on the system)
The sign of the work depends on the direction of
F relative to Δr
 Work is positive when projection of F onto Δr
is in the same direction as the displacement
 Work is negative when the projection is in the
opposite direction
Work Is An Energy Transfer
• This is important for a system approach
to solving a problem
• If the work is done on a system and it is
positive, energy is transferred to the
system
• If the work done on the system is
negative, energy is transferred from the
system
Work done by a constant force
Work done on an object by a constant force is
defined to be the product of the magnitude of
the displacement and the component of the
force parallel to the displacement
W = FII · d
Where FII is the component of the force F
parallel to the displacement d
Work
In other words W = F d cosq
Where θ is the angle between F and d
F
q
d
If θ is > 90o, work is negative. A decelerating car has
negative work done on it by its engine.
The unit of work is called Joule (J), 1 J = 1 N·m
1J=kg∙m2/s2
Scalar Product of Two Vectors
 The scalar product

of two vectors is
written as A . B
It is also called
the dot product
A . B = A B cos θ
θ is the angle
between A and B
Scalar Product
 The scalar product is commutative
A .B = B .A
 The scalar product obeys the distributive law
of multiplication
A . (B + C) = A . B + A . C

Work - on and by
A person pushes block 30 m along the
ground by exerting force of 25 N on the
trolley. How much work does the person do
on the trolley?
W = F d = 25N x 30m = 750 Nm
Trolley does -750 Nm work on the person

Mechanical Energy
Mechanical energy (energy associated with
masses) can be thought of as having two
components: kinetic and potential
– Kinetic energy is energy of motion
– Potential energy is energy of position
Kinetic Energy
In many situations, energy can be
considered as “the ability to do work”
Energy can exist in different forms
Kinetic energy is the energy associated
with the motion of an object
A moving object can do work on another
object
– E.g hammer does work on nail.
Kinetic Energy
Consider an object with mass m moving in a
straight line with initial velocity vi. To accelerate it
uniformly to a speed vf a constant net force F is
exerted on it parallel to motion over a distance d.

If we rearrange this we obtain

W  mv f  mv i

We define the quantity ½mv2 to be the
translational kinetic energy (KE) of the object
W = DKE
This is the ‘Work-Energy Theorem’:
“The net work done on an object is equal
to its change in kinetic energy”
The Work-Energy Theorem
W = DKE
• Note
– The net work done on an object is the work
done by the net force.
– Units of energy and work must be the
same (J)

condition) of one or more objects.

Work done by the force = Energy transfer due to the force.
-To calculate the work done on an object by a force during
a displacement, we use only the force component along
the object’s displacement. The force component perpendicular
to the displacement does zero work.
 
W  Fx d  Fd cos  F  d
Assumptions:
1) F = constant force
2) Object is particle-like (rigid object, all
parts of the object must move together).
A force does +W when it has a vector component in the
same direction as the displacement, and –W when it has
a vector component in the opposite direction. W=0 when it
has no such vector component.
  90  W
180    90  W
  90  0
Net work done by several forces = Sum of works done by
individual forces.
Calculation: 1) Wnet= W1+W2+W3+…
2) Fnet  Wnet=Fnet d
II. Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem
DK  K f  Ki  W
Change in the kinetic energy of the
particle = Net work done on the particle
III. Work done by a constant force
- Gravitational force:
W  mgdcos
Rising object: W= mgd cos180º = -mgd 
Fg transfers mgd energy from the object’s kinetic energy.
Falling down object: W= mgd cos 0º = +mgd 
Fg transfers mgd energy to the object’s kinetic energy.
External applied force + Gravitational force:
DK  K f  Ki  Wa  Wg
Object stationary before and
after the lift: Wa+Wg=0
The applied force transfers the same amount of
energy to the object as the gravitational force
transfers from the object.
IV. Work done by a variable force
- Spring force:


F  kx
Hooke’s law
k = spring constant  measures spring’s stiffness. Units: N/m
Hooke’s Law
 When x is positive


(spring is stretched), F is
negative
When x is 0 (at the
equilibrium position), F is
0
When x is negative
(spring is compressed),
F is positive
Hooke’s Law
 The force exerted by the spring is
always directed opposite to the
displacement from equilibrium
 F is called the restoring force
 If the block is released it will oscillate
back and forth between –x and x
Hooke’s law:

Assumptions: •
•
Spring is massless  mspring << mblock
Ideal spring  obeys Hooke’s law exactly.
Contact between the block and floor is frictionless.
Block is particle-like.
- Calculation:
1) The block displacement must be divided
into many segments of infinitesimal width, Δx.
2) F(x) ≈ cte within each short Δx segment.

length, determine the extra work required to
stretch it an additional 10.0 cm.
