  1. Mechanical Energy • What is mechanical energy? • the “something” that causes work to be done • What kinds of mechanical energy are there? • kinetic (associated with motion) • potential (associated with elevation) Units - Joules

  2. KE + PE = E v=0

  3. KE + PE = E v=0 KE = 1/2 m v2 take m = 1.0 kg

  4. KE + PE = E v=0 0 KE = 1/2 m v2 take m = 1.0 kg

  5. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 PE = m g h

  6. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 50 50 Now, release the ball.

  7. KE + PE = E 5 m y v=0 0 50 50 ? ? ? y = 1m v0 = 0 m/s vf = ? ay = 10 m/s/s t = ? vf = 4.5 m/s

  8. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 ? ? KE = 1/2 m v2 = 1/2 (1) (20) = 10 J

  9. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 ? PE = m g h = (1) (10) (4) = 40 J

  10. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50

  11. KE + PE = E 5 m v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3

  12. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 Let’s Check

  13. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 KE = 1/2 m v2 = 1/2 (1) (6.3) 2 = 20 J

  14. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 Question: How fast will the ball be traveling when it is 1 m from the ground?

  15. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 50 40 10 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3

  16. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 50 40 10 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 KE = 1/2 m v2

  17. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 50 40 10 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 40 = 1/2 (1) v2

  18. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 50 40 10 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 80 = v2

  19. KE + PE = E 5 m 20 30 50 50 40 10 v=0 0 50 50 v=4.5 10 40 50 v=6.3 v = 8.9 m/s

  20. A car (m=1000 kg) driving at 20 m/s goes over a ramp angled at 370 with height 5 m. How fast is the car traveling when it hits the ground 15 m below the end of the ramp? 5 m 15 m 370

  21. KE PE E KE PE E KE PE E A car (m=1000 kg) driving at 20 m/s goes over a ramp angled at 370 with height 5 m. How fast is the car traveling when it hits the ground 15 m below the end of the ramp? 5 m 15 m 370

  22. Problem • A 15 kg block on wheels is initially traveling 5 m/s. A force of 2 N pushes the block for 10 m. How much kinetic energy is there during this interval? 2 N 10 m

  23. KEf KEi Work Changes KE There is a change in kinetic energy which is what we call work. 1/2 m vf2 - 1/2 m v02 = F d The quantity F d is called the work!

  24. Problem • A 15 kg block on wheels is initially traveling 5 m/s. A force of 2 N pushes the block for 10 m. How much is the kinetic energy is there during this interval? Or how much work is done? Work = F Dx = (2 N) (10 m) = 20 Joules 2 N 10 m

  25. F KE x DKE is + F x KE DKE is - How does KE change?

  26. Work-out?

  27. How much work is done? T = 1000 N 37o

  28. How much work is done? T = 1000 N T = 1000 N 37o 37o Dx = 5m

  29. Power • Given: Aaron can do 5 billion joules of work! • Question: Is Aaron a powerful man?!? • Bigger question: Does it take Aaron a minute to do all this work, or the rest of his life? • Power is how much work Aaron can do in one second.

  30. joule watt = second Work Power = Dt DEnergy Power = Dt F Dx Dx Power = = F Dt Dt Power = F v

  31. 1000 joules kilowatt = second 1000 joules second kilowatt-hour ? hour = 3600 seconds kilowatt - hour = x 3600 sec = 3,600,000 joules
