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

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
2
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

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.
