Chapter 7 - Work and Energy
• Work
– Definition of Work [units]
– Work done by a constant force (e.g friction,weight)
– Work done by a varying force (e.g. a spring)
– Work in 3 dimensions – General Definition
• Work and Kinetic Energy
– Definition of Kinetic Energy
– Work-Energy Principle
Definitions
• Work - The means of
transferring energy by the
application of a force.
• Work is the product of the
magnitude of displacement
times the component of
that force in the direction
of the displacement.
• Work is a scalar
• Energy - The state of one
or more objects. A scalar
quantity, it defines the
ability to do work.

•
A 3 kg mass has an initial velocity, v = (5i - 3j) m/s.
What is the kinetic energy at this time?
The velocity changes to (8i + 4j) m/s.
What is the change in kinetic energy?
How much work was done?
Problem 7
• A 2 kg block is attached to a light spring of force constant
500 N/m. The block is pulled 5 cm to the right and of
equilibrium. How much work is required to move the
block?
• If released from rest, find the speed of the block as it
passes back through the equilibrium position if
– the horizontal surface is frictionless.
– the coefficient of friction is 0.35.
