Work and Energy

Work is done when an objects velocity or position is
changed.
 A force, F, was exerted on an object while the object
moved a distance, d, as shown in the figure.

Work is equal to a constant force exerted on an object
in the direction of motion, times the object’s
displacement.
Work and Energy Experiment

Create a stack of books 5 books high.

Use a force sensor to measure the force needed to lift a cart to
the top of the books. Record this force.

Measure the distance the cart traveled. Record this distance.

Repeat these procedures using a steep ramp to raise the cart
to the top of the books. Record the distance the cart moves
and the force required to move it.

Perform 3 more trials, each time making the ramp less and less
steep. Continue to record all data.

Multiply the force times the distance moved for each trial.

Analyze your results. Can you predict how much force it would
require to raise the cart to the top of the books if the ramp was
2m long?
Work and Energy

Consider a force exerted on an object while the object
moves a certain distance. Because there is a net force,
the object will be accelerated, a = F/m, and its velocity
will increase.

In the equation 2ad = vf2 − vi2 , if you use Newton’s
second law to replace a with F/m and multiply both
sides by m/2, you obtain:

The energy resulting from motion is called kinetic
energy and is represented by the symbol KE.
Work and Energy
 Substituting KE into the equation
results in W = KEf − KEi.
 The right side is the difference, or change, in kinetic
energy.
 The work-energy theorem states that when work is
done on an object, the result is a change in kinetic
energy.
 The work-energy theorem can be represented by the
following equation.
 Work is equal to the change in kinetic energy.

Work and Energy

We call the abnormally large unit of energy a Joule

1J = 1 N m = 1kg m2/s2

Lifting a 1N apple 2 meters above the ground requires 2
Joules of work / energy.

Through the process of doing work, energy can move
between the external world and the system.

The direction of energy transfer can go both ways. If the
external world does work on a system, then W is positive
and the energy of the system increases.

If, however, a system does work on the external world,
then W is negative and the energy of the system
decreases.

The longer barrel
cannon
The shorter barrel
cannon
Same distance
I have no idea
Sa
1.
Work Examples:

Each cannon ball exerts the same amount
of force, however the longer barrel will exert
that force for a longer distance.
 The longer barrel cannon does more work
onto the cannon ball.
 This results in a greater change in kinetic
energy of the cannon ball.
 Greater kinetic energy is equivalent to
greater velocity.
Calculating Work
 Work
can be done by each force acting on
an object.
 The total work done onto an object is the
sum of all the work done by each
individual force acting on the object.
 You can also find the total work done by
finding the net force acting on an object
and multiplying it by the object’s
displacement.
Work Examples

Example #1: A student lifts a 1kg book 1m off of
the floor at constant speed.
 What is the total work done onto the book?

What is the work done onto the book by the
student?

What is the work done onto the book by gravity?
Work Examples

Example #2: The student then begins walking 30m
down the hall to his next class. His steady walking
speed through the hall is 2m/s.
 What is the work done onto the book by the student
when he begins to walk?

What is the work done onto the book by the student
when he slows down to a stop?

What is the total work done onto the book from being at
rest in the first class to being at rest in the second
class?
Work Examples

Example #3: The student then sets his book
down onto the floor next to his desk in the
second class. He lowers the1kg book 1m at
constant speed.
 What is the total work done onto the book?

What is the work done onto the book by the
student?

What is the work done onto the book by gravity?
Calculating work
Calculating Work


Other agents exert forces on the pushed car as well.
Earth’s gravity acts downward, the ground exerts a
normal force upward, and friction exerts a horizontal
force opposite the direction of motion.
 The upward and
downward forces are
perpendicular to the
direction of motion and
do no work. For these
forces, θ = 90°, which
makes cos θ = 0, and
thus, W = 0.
Calculating Work

The work done by friction acts in the direction
opposite that of motion—at an angle of 180°.
Because cos 180° = −1, the work done by
friction is negative.

Negative work done by a force exerted by
something in the external world reduces the
kinetic energy of the system.

Positive work done
by a force increases
the kinetic energy.
A 105-g hockey puck is sliding across the ice. A player
exerts a constant 4.50-N force over a distance of 0.150 m.
How much work does the player do on the puck? What is
the change in the puck’s energy?

You will receive 1 bonus point per M&M
consumed and burned off (10 M&M limit).
Example: You choose to eat 4 M&M’s and you
answer all questions accurately and burn off all
4 M&M’s by the end of the period, you will
receive 4 bonus points.
However, you must burn off all consumed
energy by the end of the period. Failing to do
so will result in zero bonus points.
Example: Eating 4 M&M’s and only burning off
3 of them by the end of the period.


An object that has the ability to do something
has potential energy.
A block at rest on a 1m high desk has the
potential to fall due to the force of gravity.
If the block has a mass of 1kg, gravity could
“potentially” do ______ J of work onto the block.
This is how much Gravitational potential
energy the block has while at rest on top of the
desk.
A common shortcut to find the gravitational PE
of an object is PEg=mgh.
Where h is the objects height above the ground.
What is the gravitational potential
energy of a 20kg boulder sitting on
a 50m high cliff?

Efficiency
 This
example is true for ideal situations,
however no machine is 100% efficient.
 In all of the previous examples, we would
have to exert more than 150N because the
efficiency of the machines would be less
than 100%
 The amount of ideal work done compared
to the amount of actual work done is the
machines efficiency.
 % efficiency = ideal / actual * 100
Efficiency
 When
using the ramp, the actual force
exerted pushing the crate was 200N. What
is the % efficiency of the ramp?
The efficiency of the pulley system used to
lift the crate is 50%. What was the actual
force exerted onto the rope?

Suddenly, you see a car run a red light and enter the
intersection just ahead of you. You slam on your brakes
and skid in a straight line to a stop, leaving skid marks
100 feet long. A policeman observes the whole incident
and gives a ticket to the other car for running a red light.
He also gives you a ticket for exceeding the speed limit
of 30 mph. When you get home, you read your physics
book and estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction
between your tires and the road was 0.60, and the
coefficient of static friction was 0.80. You estimate that
the hill made an angle of about 10owith the horizontal.
You look in your owner's manual and find that your car
weighs 2,050 lbs. Will you fight the traffic ticket in court?

Conservation of Energy





The total energy of the stone at any given
moment is its potential energy plus its kinetic
energy.
Total Energy = PE + KE
The total energy of the stone is the same at
any time along the stone’s path as it falls.
The energy just transfers from all potential
energy (at the top) to all kinetic energy (at the
bottom).
When the object makes contact with the
ground, the energy is transferred again into
several other sources (heat, sound, bouncing).

Solving problems using the
conservation of energy



Because energy is conserved, the total
energy of an object at an initial position is
equal to the total energy at any other
position.
KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
½mvi2+mghi= ½mvf2+mghf

Advanced problem

In a belly flop diving contest, the winner is
the diver who makes the biggest splash.
The splash is dependent not only on style,
but also on how much kinetic energy the
diver has on impact. Consider a contest in
which each contestant jumps from a 3m
high diving board. One diver has a mass of
136kg and simply steps off the platform.
Another diver has a mass of 102kg and
leaps upward from the platform. How high
would the second diver have to leap to
make a competitive splash?
Project
A
ball is launched vertically into the air
with an initial speed of _______ how high
did the ball go?
Winter Olympics

You have landed a summer job with a company that has been given
the contract to design the ski jump for the next Winter Olympics. The
track is coated with snow and has an angle of 25o from the
horizontal. A skier zips down the ski jump ramp so that he leaves it
at high speed. The winner is the person who jumps the farthest after
leaving the end of the ramp. Your task is to determine the height of
the starting gate above the end of the ramp, which will determine the
mechanical structure of the ski jump facility. You have been told that
the typical ski-jumper pushes off from the starting gate at a speed of
2.0 m/s. For safety reasons, your design should be such that for a
perfect run down the ramp, the skier's speed before leaving the end
of the ramp and sailing through the air should be no more than 80
km/hr. You run some experiments on various skies used by the
jumpers and determine that the coefficient of static friction between
the snow and the skis is 0.10 and its coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.02. Since the ski-jumpers bend over and wear very aerodynamic
suits, you decide to neglect the air resistance to make your design.
