  2. Work

  3. Definition of Work • What do you think? • Work is done on an object when a force causes a displacement of the object.

  4. Pushing Your Car • Imagine you car has ran out of gas. • You have to push. • If you push with a constant horizontal force then the work done is equal to the magnitude of the force times the magnitude of displacement of the car. • W = Fd

  5. Is Work Done When . . . • If you hold a chair at arms length is work done on the chair? • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! • Work is not done on an object unless the object is moved with the action of a force. • The muscles in your tired arms are doing work inside your body, but not on the chair.

  6. Work • Work is done only when components of a force are parallel to a displacement. • Imagine pushing a crate along the ground. • If all your force is horizontal, all your effort moves the crate. • If your force is at an angle, only the horizontal component of your force moves the crate and contributes to work.

  7. Crate

  8. Work • If θ = 0° then cos 0° = 1 and W = Fd. • If θ = 90° then cos 90° = 0 and W = 0. • So no work is done on the crate when force is applied downward at a 90° angle. • Work = Fdcosθ • If many forces are acting on an object we can find the net work done. • Worknet = Fnetdcosθ

  9. Work Dimensions • Work has the dimensions of force time length. • Which is N x m (Newton’s x meters) • Also known as Joules (J) • What is a Joule? • 1 J is about the amount of work it take to lift an apple from your waist to the top of your head.

  10. Example • How much work is done on a vacuum cleaner pulled 3.0 m by a force of 50.0 N at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal?

  11. Solution • Work = Fdcosθ • Plug and chug • W = (50.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30.0°) • W = 130 J

  12. Your Turn • A tugboat pulls a ship with a constant net horizontal force of 5.00 x 103 N and causes the ship to move through a harbor. How much work is done if the ship moves a distance of 3.00 km? • A shopper at Publix pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed at an angle of 25° downward from the horizontal. Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as the shopper moves 50.0 m down an aisle. • If 2.0 J of work is done in raising a 180 g apple, how far is it lifted?

  13. The Sign of Work • The sign of work is important. • Positive or negative. • Work is positive when the force is in the same direction as the displacement. • Work is negative when the force is in the direction opposite of the displacement.

  15. Energy

  16. Kinetic Energy • The energy of an object that is due to the object’s motion is called kinetic energy. • Kinetic energy depends on speed and mass.

  17. Example • A 7.00 kg bowling ball moves at 3.00 m/s. How fast must a 2.45 g table-tennis ball move in order to have the same kinetic energy as the bowling ball? Is this speed resonable for a table-tennis ball in play?

  18. Solution • KE = ½ mv2 • KEbowling ball = ½ (7.00 kg)(3.00 m/s)2 • KEbowling ball = 31.5 J • Solve for speed of table-tennis ball • Vtable-tennis ball = √(2KE/m) • Vtable-tennis = √(2 x 31.5 J)/(2.45 x 10-3 kg) • Vtable-tennis ball = 1.60 x 102 m/s • Little fast for table-tennis

  19. Your Turn II • Calculate the speed of an 8.0 x 104 kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 1.1 x 109 J. • What is the speed of a 0.145 kg baseball if its kinetic energy is 109 J? • A car has a kinetic energy of 4.32 x 105 J when traveling at a speed of 23 m/s. What is its mass.

  20. Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem • The net work done by all the forces acting on an object is equal to the change in the object’s kinetic energy. • The net work done on a body equals its change in kinetic energy. Wnet= ∆KE net work = change in kinetic energy

  21. Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem • The work-kinetic energy theorem allows us to think of kinetic energy as the work that an object can do while the object changes speed or as the amount of energy stored in the motion of an object. • Example: swinging the hammer in the “ring-the-bell” game has kinetic energy and can therefore do work on the puck. The puck can do work against gravity by moving up and striking the bell. When the bell is struck, part of the energy is converted into sound.

  22. Example • On a frozen pond, a person kicks a 10.0 kg sled, giving it an initial speed of 2.2 m/s. How far does the sled move if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ice is 0.10?

  23. Solution • Looking for displacement. • Given: m = 10.0 kg vi = 2.2 m/s vf = 0 m/s µk = 0.10 • Pick your equations

  24. Solution • Wnet = Fnetdcosq • The net work done on the sled is provided by the force of kinetic friction. Wnet = Fkdcosq • Remember Fk = µkFn = µkmg • So . . . Wnet = µkmgdcosq

  25. Solution • The force of kinetic friction is in the direction opposite d, q = 180°. Because the sled comes to rest, the final kinetic energy is zero. Wnet = ∆KE ∆KE = KEf - KEi ∆KE = 0 – Kei ∆KE = – Kei ∆KE = –(1/2)mvi2

  26. Solution

  27. Your Turn III • A student wearing frictionless in-line skates on a horizontal surface is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 45 N. How far must the student be pushed starting from rest, so that her final kinetic energy is 352 J? • A 2.0 x 103 kg car accelerates from rest under the action of two forces. One is a forward force of 1140 N provided by traction between the wheels and the road. The other is a 950 N resistive force due to various frictional forces. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to determine how far the car must travel for its speed to reach 2.0 m/s. • A 75 kg bobsled is pushed along a horizontal surface by two athletes. After the bobsled is pushed a distance of 4.5 m starting from rest, its speed is 6.0 m/s. Find the magnitude of the net force on the bobsled.

  28. Potential Energy • Potential Energy is the energy associated with an object because it has the potential to move due to its position relative to some other location. It is stored energy. • Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with an object due to the object’s position relative to a gravitational source. • Gravitational potential energy depends on height from a zero level.

  29. Potential Energy • Picture an egg falling off a table. • As it falls it gains kinetic energy. Where does that energy come from? • Gravitational potential energy associated with the egg’s initial position on the table relative to the floor. • Gravitational Potential energy can be calculated: PEg= mgh gravitational PE = mass  free-fall acceleration  height

  30. Zero Level • If a ball falls from the top of the taller building to the roof of the smaller building what can we call zero level? • If we use the ground the ball still has potential energy. • If we use the roof of the smaller building then there is no more potential energy.

  31. Potential Energy • Elastic potential energy is the energy available for use when a deformed elastic object returns to its original configuration. • Rubber band, Pinball, Spring • Can be calculated: • The symbol k is called the spring constant, a parameter that measures the spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched.

  32. Elastic Potential Energy

  33. Example • A 70.0 kg stuntman is attached to a bungee cord with an unstretched length of 15.0 m. He jumps off a bridge spanning a river from a height of 50.0 m. When he finally stops, the cord has a stretched length of 44.0 m. Treat the stuntman as a point mass, and disregard the weight of the bungee cord. Assuming the spring constant of the bungee cord is 71.8 N/m, what is the total potential energy relative to the water when the man stops falling?

  34. Solution • Given:m = 70.0 kg k = 71.8 N/m g = 9.81 m/s2 h = 50.0 m – 44.0 m = 6.0 m x = 44.0 m – 15.0 m = 29.0 m PE = 0 J at river level

  35. Solution • The zero level for gravitational potential energy is chosen to be at the surface of the water. The total potential energy is the sum of the gravitational and elastic potential energy.

  36. Solution

  37. Your Turn IV • A spring with a force constant of 5.2 N/m has a relaxed length of 2.45 m. When a mass is attached to the end of the spring and allowed to come to rest, the vertical length of the spring is 3.57 m. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring. • The staples inside a stapler are kept in place by a spring with a relaxed length of 0.115 m. If the spring constant is 51.0 N/m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when its length is 0.150 m? • A 40.0 kg child is in a swing that is attached to ropes 2.00 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy associated with the child relative to the child’s lowest position under the following conditions: • When the ropes are horizontal • When the ropes make a 30.0° angle with the vertical • At the bottom of the circular arc

  39. Conservation of Energy

  40. Conserved Quantities • When we say that something is conserved, we mean that it remains constant. • The quantity can change into various forms, but we always have the same amount.

  41. Mechanical Energy • Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy associated with an object or group of objects. ME = KE + ∑PE • Mechanical energy is often conserved. MEi = MEf initial mechanical energy = final mechanical energy (in the absence of friction)

  42. Example • Starting from rest, a child zooms down a frictionless slide from an initial height of 3.00 m. What is her speed at the bottom of the slide? Assume she has a mass of 25.0 kg.

  43. Solution • Given: h = hi = 3.00 m m = 25.0 kg vi = 0.0 m/s hf = 0 m Unknown: vf = ?

  44. Solution • Choose an equation or situation: The slide is frictionless, so mechanical energy is conserved. Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are the only forms of energy present.

  45. Solution • The zero level chosen for gravitational potential energy is the bottom of the slide. Because the child ends at the zero level, the final gravitational potential energy is zero. PEg,f = 0

  46. Solution • The initial gravitational potential energy at the top of the slide is PEg,i = mghi = mgh Because the child starts at rest, the initial kinetic energy at the top is zero. KEi = 0 Therefore, the final kinetic energy is as follows:

  47. Solution • Substitute values into the equations: PEg,i = (25.0 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(3.00 m) = 736 J KEf = (1/2)(25.0 kg)vf2 Now use the calculated quantities to evaluate the final velocity. MEi = MEf PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf 736 J + 0 J = 0 J + (0.500)(25.0 kg)vf2 vf = 7.67 m/s

  48. Your Turn V • A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5.40 m and friction is disregarded, what is the speed of the fish when it hit the water? • A 755 N diver drops from a board 10.0 m above the water’s surface. Find the diver’s speed 5.00 m above the water’s surface. Then find the diver’s speed just before hitting the water. • A pendulum bob is released from some initial height such that the speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing is 1.9 m/s. What is the initial height of the bob?

  49. Mechanical Energy • Mechanical Energy is not conserved in the presence of friction. • As a sanding block slides on a piece of wood, energy (in the form of heat) is dissipated into the block and surface.

  50. Sanding Block • Kinetic friction between the moving block and the surface causes the kinetic energy to be into a nonmechanical form of energy. • Mechanical energy is no longer conserved. • The energy is still all accounted for, but in a form that is harder to calculate.
