How calculus applies to things we already know about Energy.
 Keep in mind-the basics are still most important.
 Calculus will actually make things easier!!!
 The problems are just more complex.
 You should use TONS of paper for a WebAssign.
 You will start turning these in- 50% of problems, BEST GUESS, every other
week in Problem Solving Journals
 You are expected to be reading & solving problems about 1 hour each
day. I know that isn’t happening. Time to take responsibility for learning.


Energy and Work is a HUGE component of the AP Exam



You need to trust me and work with me.

It overlaps with every other unit remaining
It ties into all other ideas.
I have done this before VERY successfully.
Are you willing to make this a priority???
This is the unit where we start to move forward quickly.
This is an AP class x2!!! It isn’t honors physics again. Complacency kills
I EXPECT that you understand the basics.

If you don’t, then you had better start to try harder.
You are expected to be reading & solving problems about 1 hour each

Let’s Go!

K.E.=1/2mv•v=1/2mv2



Dot/Scalar Product of velocity OR Speed2
K.E. is a scalar!

Joule= 1 kgm2/s2 (“Big” masses)

1 eV=1.6e-19 J
“Equation of State”- a snapshot.


Depends on the state of motion-NOT CAUSES
We just did this in the ΣF=ma lab!



(“electron-volt”-small masses)
What if instead of measuring this arbitrary “a” thing, we measured initial and
final velocities (states)?
Knowing some things are conserved & some aren’t.

Mechanical Energy (Yeah Right!-Perfect World Only)

Momentum (Even if Heat is created- “internal energy”)

Total Energy (Was there an energy leak? What’s your system?!)
Changes in Energy are All that Matter!
SUBTLETIES

A Change in Energy!!
How do you change energy?
 Forces acting over a distance
 Along that axis!
 +Work-adds energy to a system, –Work removes


W=F•x
Dot Product!! (Scalar)
 Vectors involved
 If force CHANGES with distance (usually does)



Then W= ∫F(x) •dx
Called an “Integral”/Anti-Derivative
WORK

SPRINGS ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE
OF WORK DONE BY F(X)

∆K.E.=Wnet

Vfx2=vix2+2axx

Constrained along x.
If it could move in y direction too . . .

Vfy2=viy2+2ayDy

V (Speed)=DVfx2+vfy2

Net Forces cause changes in motion- and KE!
WORK-K.E. THEOREM
WORK DONE BY GRAVITY= -G.P.E.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)
 W=Fdcos mgycos(0 or 180 deg)

-work done BY GRAVITY while going up
+work done BY GRAVITY while going down
With no “non-conservative forces” this is path
independent.
 Potential energy is given by a conservative force
only.




Gravity
Coulomb Force (twixt charges)
Magnetic Force (twixt magnetic fields)
SAMPLE PROBLEM 7-5 (KIND OF)
M=20 kg
L=6 m
H=2 m

h
a) Find the work done by the weight as it raises a distance L.
b) Find the work done by the Tension. (Assume V=constant)
• Now, assuming crate accelerates with a 100 N Tension. Use the
W-KE theorem to find the final speed after moving a distance L.
NOW- CALCULUS PART II

Wn=Fn(x)Dx

The idea that small little forces
over small distances all contribute
to work.

Now, just add them up!

ΣWn=ΣFn(x)Dx

lim Dx->0

Smaller and smaller widths

More “Accuracy”
W=∫ F(x)• dx

From a to b, or (xi to xf)
A LITTLE MATH

LET’S TRY IT!-REIMMAN

P=W/t
P=dW/dt
P=F•v

Rate of change of Energy

Rate at which work is done.

This is why simple machines HELP!

Same amount of mechanical work.

Faster time!

Area under Force vs. Velocity Graph

Slope of Work vs. time graph
