v Group Work • A perfectly elastic ball of mass m collides with velocity v directly perpendicular into a rigid, massive wall. • What is the direction of the net force on the ball as it squishes into the wall? • What is the direction of the net force on the ball as it pushes away from the wall?
Group Work • A perfectly elastic ball of mass m collides with velocity v directly perpendicular into a rigid, massive wall. • What is the sign of the work done on the ball as it squishes into the wall? • What is the sign of the work done on the ball as it pushes away from the wall?
Group Work • A perfectly elastic ball of mass m collides with velocity v directly perpendicular into a rigid, massive wall. • If the ball’s initial and final speeds are equal, what is the net work done on the ball?
Announcements • Exam 2 Thursday • impulse, momentum, Newton’s third law, conservation of momentum, work, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy • Standards 6–9 • First re-do of Standards 2–5 Thursday too • If you do the practice problems before Wed
Work-Energy Theorem • The work done on an object by the net force acting on it is its change in kinetic energy. ∑F·Dr = DK
Objective • Calculate the average power necessary to change an object’s energy by a given amount in a given time.
w = Dt DE Power = Dt Power Rate of doing work DE=change in energy ( = work) Dt=time interval
DE Power = Dt Energy kg m2 kg m2 W = = time s2 s s3 Units of Power = J/s = W = watt
Group Work • The 2004 Tour de France’s Alpe d’Huez time trial stage was a steep climb with its finish 1200 m higher than the start. Lance Armstrong won with a timeDt of 39:41 (2381 s). He and his gear had a combined mass of 84 kg. What was Lance’s average powerDE/Dt during the stage? Hint: Use change in gravitational potential energy for DE.
w F·Dd Power = = F·v Dt Dt v=velocity Power A different but equivalent formula = Dd=change in position
Example Problem Show that (force·velocity) gives the same units as (work/time). force units = velocity units = work units = time units =
What’s the point? • Nature keeps careful account of energy.
Objectives • Track energy transfers in interactions.
Think Question Which is greater? A.The force F1 exerted downward on the lever arm B.The force F2 exerted upward on the rock C.They are the same magnitude
Think Question Which is greater? A.The distance d1 traveled by the lever arm B.The distance d2 traveled by the rock C.They are the same distance
Poll Question Which is greater? A.The work done on the lever arm B.The work done on the rock C.They are the same
Simple Machines • Input and output forces can be different • Trade-off is distance traveled • Work is unchanged • work input = work output
Conservation of Energy • Energy can be transferred between objects or transformed into different forms, but the total amount of energy can never change.

Think Question Which changes its momentum the most? • A moving object that stops when it hits a barrier. • A moving object that bounces back from a barrier. Hint: Momentum is a vector.
Poll Question Which changes its kinetic energy the most? • A moving object that stops when it hits a barrier. • A moving object that bounces back from a barrier. Hint: kinetic energy depends on speed, not direction.
Inelastic Collisions • Total kinetic energy decreases. • Work done against friction and drag: • is not stored as potential energy • cannot be recovered as kinetic energy • Thermal energy increases. • Energy is conserved!
Reading for Next Time Uniform circular motion Big ideas: Direction of motion changes but speed does not. Acceleration and net force are well-defined, with a specific direction.
