Work produced by a NET FORCE is equal to a change of KINETIC
ENERGY (it follows from the second Newton’s law)
Wnet Fnet s K K final K initial
The NET FORCE is equal to (vector) sum of all forces acting on the
object
Fnet F1 F2 ...
then
Wnet ( F1 F2 ...) s F1 s F2 s ... W1 W2 ... K
so the sum of the works produced by all forces acting on the object is
equal to the change of kinetic energy,
W1 W2 ... K

Example: What is the change of kinetic energy? Or what is the
final velocity of the block if the initial velocity is 5 m/s? The mass
of the block is 5 kg.

Conservation of mechanical energy
Work produced by gravitational force can be written
as the change of gravitational potential energy
13
Not for all forces the work can be written as the difference between
the potential energy between two points. Only if the force does not
depend on velocity then we can introduce potential energy as
W F s U initial U final
Potential energy depends only on the position of the object
It means also that the work done
by the force does not depend on
the trajectory (path) of the object:
W path1 W path 2 U A U B
Such forces are called conservative forces

Nonconservative (dissipative) forces
Example: Friction
Direction of friction force is always opposite to the direction of velocity, so
the friction force depends on velocity.
The work done by friction force depends on path.
15
If we know force we can find the corresponding potential energy
W F s U (U final U initial )
We assume that the potential (for example)
at point A is 0, then the potential energy at
point B is

Nonconservative (dissipative) forces
Example 1: Friction
Direction of friction force is always opposite to the direction of
velocity, so the friction force depends on velocity.
The work done by friction force depends on path.

The work done by the net force is equal to the change of kinetic
energy.
The net force is the sum of conservative forces (gravitational force,
elastic force, …) and nonconservative force (friction force ..). The
work done by conservative forces can be written as the change of
potential energy. Then
Wnet Fnet s
Fconservative s Fnonconservative s
U initial U final Fnonconservative s K final K initial

Work done by nonconservative forces is equal to the change of
mechanical energy of the system (sum of kinetic energy,
18
gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and so on).

Work done by friction force is equal to the change of mechanical
energy:

Nonconservative forces: friction (dissipative) forces and external
forces.
Friction force decreases the mechanical energy of the system but
increases the TEMPERATURE of the system – increases thermal
energy of the system. Then
F friction s Ethermal ,initial Ethermal , final
Fnonconservative s Fexternal s Ethermal ,initial Ethermal , final
Emech, final Emech,initial
Fexternal s ( Emech, final Ethermal , final ) ( Emech,initial Ethermal ,initial )
Work done by external forces is equal to the change of the total
energy of the system (mechanical + thermal)
20
Work done by external forces is equal to the change of the total
energy of the system (mechanical + thermal)
Thermal energy is also a mechanical energy – this is the energy of
motion of atoms or molecules inside the objects.
