Work and Energy

KINETIC ENERGY (KE): energy
associated with motion of an object

POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE): energy
associated with position of an object
WORK

WORK: the product of the component of the
force along the direction of displacement and
the magnitude of the displacement.
• W=F • dcosq
where d = magnitude of displacement
• When the force is not in the direction of the
displacement, then either sin or cos is needed.
• Units of work: 1 Joule = 1 N•m
In order to do work, you must exert
a force over a distance.
The con may
expend energy when
he pushes on the
wall, but if it doesn’t
move, no work is
performed on the
wall.
The force must be in the same direction as the
movement. If not, you have to use a vector
component of the force that is in the same
direction. Hence the cosine.
A lot of the time, you will
see the work equation
written like this:
W = FD cos q
Why?
Example: A man cleaning his apartment pulls
a vacuum cleaner with a force of 50. N at an
angle of 30.0. A frictional force of
magnitude 40. N dampens the motion, and the
vacuum is pulled a distance of 3.0 m.
Calculate:
a)the work done by the 50. N pull;
b)the work done by the frictional force;
c)the net work done on the vacuum by all
forces acting on it.
Example: A man cleaning his apartment pulls a vacuum cleaner with a force
of 50. N at an angle of 30.0. A frictional force of magnitude 40. N
dampens the motion, and the vacuum is pulled a distance of 3.0 m.
Calculate:
a)the work done by the 50 N pull;
b)the work done by the frictional force;
c)the net work done on the vacuum by all forces acting on it.

This is known as the work-energy theorem.
Work-Energy Theorem

The net work done on an object by the
force or forces acting on it is equal to
the change in the kinetic energy of the
object.
– The speed of an object will increase if the
net work done on it is positive;
– The speed of an object will decrease if the
net work done on it is negative.
KEi + PEi + Pei(s) + Workadded = KEf + PEf + Pef(s)
+ Worklost
This is where we
are going with this
unit.
We will now break
this equation down
piece by piece.
Note: Energy can be in all four or any combination of the
four types on either side. You need to decide which
pieces you will use.
Example: A 1400-kg car has a net forward force of 4500 N
applied to it. The car starts from rest and travels down a
horizontal highway. What are its kinetic energy and speed
after it has traveled 100.m? (ignore friction and air resistance)

Potential Energy

Gravitational potential energy: the
energy an object has due to its position
in space.
PE = mgh

In working problems, choose the zero level for
PE (the pt. at which the grav. PE=0) so that
you can easily calculate the difference in PE
Example: A 60.0-kg skier is at the top of a slope. At
the initial point A, the skier is 10.0 m vertically
above point B. Find the gravitational PE of the skier
at A and B, and the difference in PE between the 2
pts.
choose B = 0
PEi = mghi
PEi = (60.0kg)(9.8m/s2)(10.0m)
PEi =5880 J
PEf = mghf
PEf = (60.0kg)(9.8m/s2)(0m) B
PEf =0 J

Example: A 60.0-kg skier is at the top of a slope. At
the initial point A, the skier is 10.0 m vertically
above point B. Find the gravitational PE of the skier

pts.

Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy can not be created or destroyed.
Actually, It’s
conservation of
mass - energy
Remember E=mc2
That is to say, energy
and mass are
interchangeable.
Although energy cannot be destroyed, it
can go places where we can never recover it.

Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Although energy may be changed into a
different form, the final value will be the
same as the initial value (energy is not
lost).
Ei = Ef
KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf
½ mvi2 + mghi = ½ mvf2 + mghf
Kinetic vs. Potential Energy
Calculate the KE and PE energy at each of the 5 spots on the
ski run. Assume the skier starts from rest. (m = 51 kg)
Kinetic vs. Potential Energy
Calculate the KE and PE energy at each of the 5 spots on
the roller coaster. Assume the skater starts from rest.
Example: A diver weighing 750. N (mass =
77.0 kg) drops from a board 10.0 m above
the surface of the pool of water.
A) Use the conservation of
mechanical energy to find her
speed at a point 5.00 m above the
water surface.
10 m
B) Find the speed of the diver just
before she strikes the water.
Example: A diver weighing 750. N (mass = 77.0 kg) drops
from a board 10.0 m above the surface of the pool of water.
A) Use the conservation of mechanical energy to find
her speed at a point 5 m above the water surface.
B) Find the speed of the diver just before she strikes the water.
hf = 5 m
½ mvi2 + mghi = ½ mvf2 + mghf
½(77)(0)+(77)(9.8)(10)=½(77)(vf2)+(77)(9.8)(5)
Vf = 9.90 m/s
Example: A diver weighing 750 N (mass = 77.0 kg) drops from
a board 10 m above the surface of the pool of water.
A) Use the conservation of mechanical energy to find her speed
at a point 5 m above the water surface.
B) Find the speed of the diver just before she strikes
the water.
hf=0
½ mvi2 + mghi = ½ mvf2 + mghf
½(77)(0)+(77)(9.8)(10)=½(77)(vf2)+(77)(9.8)(0)
Vf = 13.9 m/s
Example: A sled and its rider together weigh 800. N.
They move down a frictionless hill through a vertical
distance of 10.0 m. Use conservation of energy to
find the speed of the sled-rider system at the bottom
of the hill, assuming the rider pushes off with an
initial speed of 5.00 m/s.
½ mvi2 + mgyi = ½ mvf2 + mgyf
½ vi2 + gyi = ½ vf2 + gyf
½(5)2+ (9.8)(10)=½(vf2)+ (9.8)(0)
vf = 14.9 m/s

Conservative / Nonconservative
Forces

A force is CONSERVATIVE if the work
it does on an object between 2 points is
independent of the path the object takes
between the 2 points. (The work done
depends only on the initial and final
positions.) (example: Work done by
gravity)
Conservative / Nonconservative
Forces

A force is NONCONSERVATIVE if the
work it does on an object moving
between 2 points depends on the path
taken. (i.e. Work done by sliding
friction)
Conservation of Energy with
Nonconservative Forces.
A 15 kg kid, initially at rest, slides down
a 8.0 m high slide. Ideally, what is his
final velocity at the bottom of the slide?
 KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf
 0 + mgh = 1/2 mv2 + 0
 (15kg)(9.8m/s2)(8.0m) = 1/2 (15kg)v2
 vf = 12.5m/s ~13m/s

In reality, the final velocity of the
kid is only 10 m/s. Where did
the extra energy go?
Friction is an nonconservative force which used
up some of the initial potential energy. To
account for friction, we need to add back in
the work done by (or energy lost by) friction.
KEi + PEi + Workadded = KEf + PEf + Worklost
Example:
Work of someone
pushing
Example:
Work done by
friction
Note: Usually work done by friction is negative (because
it is in the opposite direction). But since we are
ADDING BACK IN the work done by friction it is
positive.
How much work was done by
friction as the kid slid down the
slide? (m = 15 kg, yi = 8.0m vf = 10 m/s)
KEi + PEi + Workadded = KEf + PEf + Worklost
0 + mgh + 0 = 1/2mvf2 + 0 + Wfriction
(15kg)(9.8m/s2)(8.0m) = 1/2(15kg)(10.m/s)2 + Wf
1176 J = 750 J +Wf
Wf = 426 J ~ 430J
Potential Energy Stored in a Spring
PEs = ½ kx2
where k = spring constant
x = distance spring is compressed or stretched
(KE + PEg + PEs)i = (KE + PEg + PEs)f
Example: A block of mass 0.500 kg rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
The block is pressed lightly against a spring, having a spring constant k=80.0
N/m. The spring is compressed a distance of 2.00 cm and released. Find the
speed of the block at the instant it loses contact with the spring at the x = 0
position.
0.500 kg
(KE + PEg + PEs)i = (KE + PEg + PEs)f
(PEs)i = (KE)f
½kxi2 = ½mvf2
½(80)(0.02)2 = ½(0.5) vf2
v = 0.253 m/s
Example: The launching mechanism of a toy gun
consists of a spring of unknown spring constant. By
compressing the spring a distance of 0.120 m, the gun
is able to launch a 20.0-g projectile to a maximum
height of 20.0 m when fired vertically from rest.
Determine the value of the spring constant.
(KE + PEg + PEs)i = (KE + PEg + PEs)f
(PEs)i = (PEg)f
½kxi2 = mgh
½(k)(0.12)2 = (0.02)(9.8)(20)
k = 544 N/m
