1. Work, Power & Energy Chapter 7 Explaining the Causes of Motion Without Newton (sort of)

2. Work • The product of force and the amount of displacement along the line of action of that force. Units: ft . lbs (horsepower) Newton•meter (Joule) e

3. Work = F x d To calculate work done on an object, we need: The Force • The average magnitude of the force • The direction of the force The Displacement • The magnitude of the change of position • The direction of the change of position

4. Calculate Work • During the ascent phase of a rep of the bench press, the lifter exerts an average vertical force of 1000 N against a barbell while the barbell moves 0.8 m upward • How much work did the lifter do to the barbell?

8. - & + Work • Positive work is performed when the direction of the force and the direction of motion are the same • Negative work is performed when the direction of the force and the direction of motion are the opposite

9. Calculate Work • During the descent phase of a rep of the bench press, the lifter exerts an average vertical force of 1000 N against a barbell while the barbell moves 0.8 m downward • How much work did the lifter do to the barbell?

15. Work on a cycle ergometer • Work = Fd • Force • belt friction on the flywheel • mass ie 3 kg • Displacement • revolution of the pedals • Monark: 6 m • “Work” per revolution • 3kg x 6 m = 18 kgm

16. Work on a stair stepper • Work = Fd • Force • Push on the step • ???? • Displacement • Step Height • 8 inches • “Work” per step • ???N x .203 m = ???Nm

17. Energy • Energy (E) is defined as the capacity to do work • Many forms • No more created, only converted • chemical, sound, heat, nuclear, mechanical • Kinetic Energy (KE): • energy due to motion • Potential Energy (PE): • energy due to position or deformation

18. Kinetic Energy Energy due to motion reflects • the mass • the velocity of the object KE = 1/2 mv2

19. Kinetic Energy Units: reflect the units of mass * v2 • Units KE = Units work

20. Calculate Kinetic Energy How much KE in a 5 ounce baseball (145 g) thrown at 80 miles/hr (35.8 m/s)?

21. Calculate Kinetic Energy Table of Variables Mass = 145 g  0.145 kg Velocity = 35.8 m/s

22. Calculate Kinetic Energy Table of Variables Mass = 145 g  0.145 kg Velocity = 35.8 m/s Select the equation and solve:

23. Calculate Kinetic Energy How much KE possessed by a 150 pound female volleyball player moving downward at 3.2 m/s after a block?

24. Calculate Kinetic Energy Compare KE possessed by: • a 220 pound (100 kg) running back moving forward at 4.0 m/s • a 385 pound (175 kg) lineman moving forward at 3.75 m/s Bonus: calculate the momentum of each player

25. Potential Energy Two forms of PE: • Gravitational PE: • energy due to an object’s position relative to the earth • Strain PE: • due to the deformation of an object

26. Gravitational PE • Affected by the object’s • weight • mg • elevation (height) above reference point • ground or some other surface • h GPE = mgh Units = Nm or J (why?)

27. Calculate GPE How much gravitational potential energy in a 45 kg gymnast when she is 4m above the mat of the trampoline? Take a look at the energetics of a roller coaster

28. Calculate GPE How much gravitational potential energy in a 45 kg gymnast when she is 4m above the mat of the trampoline? Trampoline mat is 1.25 m above the ground

29. GPE relative to mat Table of Variables m = 45 kg g = -9.81 m/s/s h = 4 m GPE relative to ground Table of Variables m = 45 kg g = -9.81 m/s/s h = 5.25 m Calculate GPE

30. Strain PE Affected by the object’s • amount of deformation • greater deformation = greater SE • x2 = change in length or deformation of the object from its undeformed position • stiffness • resistance to being deformed • k = stiffness or spring constant of material SE = 1/2 kx2

31. Strain Energy • When a fiberglass vaulting pole bends, strain energy is stored in the bent pole • When a tendon/ligament/muscle is stretched, strain energy is stored in the elongated elastin fibers (Fukunaga et al, 2001, ref#5332) • k = 10000 n /m x = 0.007 m (7 mm), Achilles tendon in walking • When a floor/shoe sole is deformed, energy is stored in the material .

32. Work - Energy Relationship • The work done by an external force acting on an object causes a change in the mechanical energy of the object

33. Work - Energy Relationship • The work done by an external force acting on an object causes a change in the mechanical energy of the object • Bench press ascent phase • initial position = 0.75 m; velocity = 0 • final position = 1.50 m; velocity = 0 • m = 100 kg • g = -10 m/s/s • What work was performed on the bar by lifter? • What is GPE at the start & end of the press?

34. Work - Energy Relationship • Of critical importance • Sport and exercise =  velocity • increasing and decreasing kinetic energy of a body • similar to the impulse-momentum relationship

35. Work - Energy Relationship • If more work is done, greater energy • greater average force • greater displacement • Ex. Shot put technique (121-122). • If displacement is restricted, average force is __________ ? (increased/decreased) • “giving” with the ball • landing hard vs soft

36. Power • The rate of doing work • Work = Fd Units: Fd/s = J/s = watt
