Work Done by a
Constant Force
Work is done when a force F pushes a car through a
displacement s.
Work = Force X Distance.
Question
Two men, Joel and Jerry, push against a wall. Jerry stops
after 10 min, while Joel is able to push for 5 min longer.
Compare the work against the wall they each do.
a. Joel does 50% more work than Jerry.
b. Jerry does 50% more work than Joel.
c. Joel does 75% more work than Jerry.
d. Neither of them do any work.

6.3 Gravitational Potential
Energy
The gravitational potential energy PE is the energy that an
object of mass m has by virtue of its position relative to the
surface of the earth. That position is measured by the height
h of the object relative to an arbitrary zero level:

A Gymnast on a Trampoline
A gymnast springs vertically upward from a trampoline. The
gymnast leaves the trampoline at a height of 1.20 m and reaches a
maximum height of 4.80 m before falling back down. All heights
are measured with respect to the ground. Ignoring air resistance,
determine the initial speed v0 with which the gymnast leaves the
trampoline.
The Conservation of
Mechanical Energy
THE PRINCIPLE OF
CONSERVATION OF
MECHANICAL ENERGY
The total mechanical energy (E = KE + PE) of an object
remains constant as the object moves, provided that the net
work done by external nonconservative forces is zero.
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
If friction and wind resistance are ignored, a bobsled run
illustrates how kinetic and potential energy can be
interconverted, while the total mechanical energy remains
constant.
Roller Coaster (Ideal)
The tallest and fastest roller coaster in the
world is now the Steel Dragon in Mie,
Japan (Figure 6.20). The ride includes a
vertical drop of 93.5 m. The coaster has a
speed of 3.0 m/s at the top of the drop.
Neglect friction and find the speed of the
riders at the bottom.
Power
The idea of power incorporates both the concepts of work
and time.
Power is work done per unit time.
Average power, P is the average rate at which work W is
done, and it is obtained by dividing W by the time t
required to perform the work:

Forms of Energy
So far we have considered the following forms of energy:
Kinetic energy, Gravitational potential energy, and
Mechanical energy.
Some of the other forms of energy are:
Electrical energy, Chemical energy, Nuclear energy, Thermal
energy, and Radiant energy.

Energy Transformations
Energy Transformations in
the Human body
Part of the chemical energy stored in food is transformed into
the kinetic energy of physical activities and into the thermal
energy needed to keep our bodies at a temperature near 98.6 °F.
Energy Transformations in
an Automobile
In an automobile chemical energy of gasoline is converted into
kinetic energy, as well as electrical energy (to operate the radio,
headlights, and air conditioner), and heat (to warm the car during
the winter).
The CONSERVATION OF
ENERGY
Whenever energy is transformed from one form to another,
it is found that no energy is gained or lost in the process; the
total of all the energies before the process is equal to the
total of the energies after the process. This observation
leads to the conservation of energy:

leads to the conservation of energy:
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be
converted from one form to another.

Learning how to convert energy from one form to another more
efficiently is one of the main goals of modern science and
technology.
