Energy
Energy
Universe is made up of matter
and energy.
Energy is the mover of matter.
Energy has several forms:
– Kinetic
– Potential
– Electrical
– Heat
– etc.
Work
Now instead of a force for how long
in time we consider a force for how
long in distance.
Work = Force Distance
W=Fd
The unit for work is the
Newton-meter which is also called a
Joule.
Work
An applied force
acting through a
distance parallel to
the force
Requires movement
in same direction as
force
– Zero distance, no work
– Displacement
perpendicular to
applied force, no work
How much work?
A weight lifter lifts a barbell
weighing 1000 Newtons 1.5 meters
A weight lifter pushes on a wall with
a force of 1000 Newtons for 15 sec?
Power
Power is equal to the amount of
work done per unit time.
work done
Power
time interval
The unit for power is the
Joule/second which is also called a
Watt.
Power
The rate at which
work is done
Units: watts (W),
horsepower (hp)
Example: Walking
versus running
upstairs
The “power bill” you pay for energy
Light Bulbs and Appliances
electrical energy used
Power Rating
time interval
How much energy does a 100 Watt
light bulb use in one hour?
How about a 40 Watt light bulb?
Mechanical Energy
When work is done on an object, the
object generally has acquired the
ability to do work.
This "ability to do work" is called
energy and it has the same units as
work….Joules.
Two Types of Mechanical Energy
– Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
The energy that is stored is called
potential energy.
Examples:
– Rubber bands
– Springs
– Bows
– Batteries
– Gravity
Gravitational Potential Energy
PE = Weight height
PE = m g h
Question:
– How much potential energy does a
10kg mass have relative to the ground
if it is 5 meter above the ground?
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy is the energy of
motion.
Kinetic Energy = ½ mass speed2

KE mv

Question: How much kinetic
energy does a 1kg mass have if it
is moving at 10 meters/second?
Work/Energy Relationship
If you want to move something, you
have to do work.
The work done is equal to the
change in kinetic energy.
Work = DKE
Example Question
When the brakes of a car going
90 km/h are locked, how much
farther will it skid than if the
brakes lock at 30 km/h?
• (a) 2 times
• (b) 3 times
• (c) 9 times
• (d) 27 times
• (e) half as far
Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed...
...it may be transformed from one form
into another...
...but the total amount of energy never
changes.
Demos
– Galileo's incline
– Bowling ball pendulum
Pendulum Example Problem
At what point is the kinetic energy
the highest?
– (A) At the bottom of its path
– (B) At the ends of its path
– (C) Somewhere in between
Pendulum Example Problem
At what point is the potential energy
the highest?
– (A) At the bottom of its path
– (B) At the ends of its path
– (C) Somewhere in between
Example Problem
A 100 kg mass is dropped from rest from
a height of 1 meter.
How much potential energy does it have
when it is released?
How much kinetic energy does it have
just before it hits the ground?
What is its speed just before impact?
How much work could it do if it were to
strike a nail before hitting the ground?

Machines - An Application of
Energy Conservation
If there is no mechanical energy
losses then for a simple
machine...
work input = work output
(F
d)input = (F d)output
Examples - levers and tire jacks
Efficiency
work done
Efficiency
energy used
Useful energy becomes wasted
energy with inefficiency.
Heat is the graveyard of useful
energy.
Comparison of Kinetic Energy
and Momentum
Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.
Momentum is a vector quantity.
