Different Style Than the Textbook
I like teaching this material
using a different style than
the textbook
1. Teach you the concepts
2. Give you the important
equations
3. Then we’ll do lots of problems
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
6
Potential Energy
•Things with potential: COULD do
work
– “This woman has great potential as
an engineer!”
•Here we kinda mean the same thing
•E.g. Gravitation potential energy:
– If you lift up a brick it has the
potential to do damage
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
7
Example: Gravity & Potential Energy
You lift up a brick (at rest) from the
ground and then hold it at a height Z
• How much work has been done on the
brick?
• How much work did you do?
• If you let it go, how much work will be
done by gravity by the time it hits the
ground?
We say it has potential energy:
U=mgZ
– Gravitational potential energy
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
8
Other Potential Energies: Springs
Last week we
calculated that it
took ½kx2 of work to
compress a spring by
a distance x
How much potential
energy does it now
how have?
2
U(x) = ½kx
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
9
Force and Potential Energy
If we know the potential energy, U, we
can find the force
Fx  
dU
dx
This makes sense… For example, the
force of gravity points down, but the
potential increases as you go up
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
10
Force and Potential Energy
Draw some examples…
–Gravity
–Spring
Physics 218, Lecture XIII

Mechanical Energy
• We define the total
mechanical energy in a
system to be the kinetic
energy plus the potential
energy
• Define E≡K+U
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
12
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
• For some types of problems, Mechanical
Energy is conserved (more on this next
week)
• E.g. Mechanical energy before you drop a
brick is equal to the mechanical energy
after you drop the brick
K2+U2 = K1+U1
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
E2=E1
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
13
Problem Solving
• What are the types of examples we’ll
encounter?
– Gravity
– Things falling
– Springs
• Converting their potential energy into
kinetic energy and back again
E = K + U =

Quick Problem
We drop a ball from a
height D above the
ground
Using Conservation of
Energy, what is the
speed just before it hits
the ground?
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
18
Potential Energy
A brick held 6 feet in the air has potential
energy
• Subtlety: Gravitational potential energy is
relative to somewhere!
Example: What is the potential energy of a book 6
feet above a 4 foot high table? 10 feet above
the floor?
• DU = U2-U1 = Wext = mg (h2-h1)
• Write U = mgh
• U=mgh + Const
Only change in potential energy is really
meaningful
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
19
Falling onto a Spring
We want to measure the
spring constant of a
certain spring. We drop a
ball of known mass m
from a known height Z
above the uncompressed
spring. Observe it
compresses a distance C.

Quick Problem
A refrigerator with mass
M and speed V0 is sliding
on a dirty floor with
coefficient of friction m.
Is mechanical energy
conserved?
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
21
Non-Conservative Forces
• We’ve talked about three different types
of forces:
1.Gravity: Conserves mechanical
energy
2.Normal Force: Conserves
mechanical energy (doesn’t do
work)
3.Friction: Doesn’t conserve
mechanical energy
• Since Friction causes us to lose mechanical
energy (doesn’t conserve mechanical
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
energy) it is a Non-Conservative
force! 22
Law of Conservation of Energy
• Mechanical Energy NOT always
conserved
• If you’ve ever watched a roller
coaster, you see that the friction
turns the energy into heating the
rails, sparks, noise, wind etc.
• Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential
Energy + Heat + Others…
– Total Energy is what is
conserved!
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
23
Conservative Forces
If there are only conservative forces in the
problem, then there is conservation of mechanical
energy
• Conservative: Can go back and forth along any
path and the potential energy and kinetic energy
keep turning into one another
– Good examples: Gravity and Springs
• Non-Conservative: As you move along a path, the
potential energy or kinetic energy is turned into
heat, light, sound etc… Mechanical energy is lost.
– Good example: Friction (like on Roller
Coasters)
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
24
Law of Conservation of Energy
• Even if there is friction, Energy is
conserved
• Friction does work
– Can turn the energy into heat
– Changes the kinetic energy
• Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential
Energy + Heat + Others…
– This is what is conserved
• Can use “lost” mechanical energy to
estimate things about friction
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
25
Roller Coaster with Friction
A roller coaster of mass m starts at rest
at height y1 and falls down the path with
friction, then back up until it hits height
y2 (y1 > y2).
Assuming we don’t know anything about the
friction or the path, how much work is
done by friction on this path?
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
26
Energy Summary
If there is net work on an object, it changes
the kinetic energy of the object (Gravity
forces a ball falling from height h to speed
up  Work done.)
Wnet = DK
If there is a change in the potential energy,
some one had to do some work: (Ball falling
from height h speeds up→ work done → loss
of potential energy. I raise a ball up, I do
work which turns into potential energy for
the ball)
DUTotal = WPerson =-WGravity
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
27
Energy Summary
If work is done by a non-conservative force
it does negative work (slows something
down), and we get heat, light, sound etc.
EHeat+Light+Sound.. = -WNC
If work is done by a non-conservative
force, take this into account in the total
energy. (Friction causes mechanical
energy to be lost)
K1+U1 = K2+U2+EHeat…
K1+U1 = K2+U2-WNC
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
28
Friction and Springs
A block of mass
m is traveling on
a rough surface.
It reaches a
spring (spring
constant k) with
speed Vo and
compresses it a
total distance D.
Determine m
Physics 218, Lecture XIII

Bungee Jump
You are standing on a
platform high in the air
with a bungee cord
(spring constant k)
strapped to your leg.
You have mass m and
jump off the platform.
1.How far does the cord
stretch, l in the picture?
2.What is the equilibrium
point around which you
will bounce?

initial speed V0=0. Assume no friction.

Energy Review
If there is net work on an object, it changes the
kinetic energy of the object (Gravity forces a ball
falling from height h to speed up  Work done.)
Wnet = DK
If there is a change in the potential energy, some
one had to do some work: (Ball falling from height
h speeds up→ work done → loss of potential
energy. I raise a ball up, I do work which turns
into potential energy for the ball)
DUTotal = WPerson =-WGravity
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
35
Energy Review
If work is done by a non-conservative force it is
negative work (slows something down), and we get
heat, light, sound etc.
EHeat+Light+Sound.. = -WNC
If work is done by a non-conservative force, take
this into account in the total energy. (Friction
causes mechanical energy to be lost)
K1+U1 = K2+U2+EHeat…
K1+U1 = K2+U2-WNC
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
36
Potential Energy Diagrams
• For Conservative forces
can draw energy
diagrams
• Equilibrium points
– Motion will move
“around” the
equilibrium
– If placed there with
no energy, will just
stay (no force)

Stable vs. Unstable Equilibrium Points
The force is zero at both maxima and minima but…
– If I put a ball with no velocity there would
it stay?
– What if it had a little bit of velocity?

Roller Coaster with Friction
A roller coaster car of mass m starts at rest at
height y1 and falls down the path with friction,
then back up until it hits height y2 (y1 > y2).
Assuming we don’t know anything about the friction
or the path, how much work is done by friction
on this path?
Physics 218, Lecture XIII
39
Roller Coaster with Friction
A roller coaster car of mass m starts at rest at
height y1 and falls down the path with friction,
then back up until it hits height y2 (y1 > y2). An
odometer tells us that the total scalar distance
traveled is d.
Assuming we don’t know anything about the friction
or the path, how much work is done by friction
on this path?
Assuming that the magnitude and angle of the
force of friction, F, between the car and the
track is constant, find |F|.

it has reached this
length).

A football is thrown
A 145g football starts at rest and is thrown
with a speed of 25m/s.
1. What is the final kinetic energy?
2. How much work was done to reach this
velocity?
We don’t know the forces exerted by the
arm as a function of time, but this allows
us to sum them all up to calculate the
work
