What is Work and Energy? • Energy(E)- the ability to do work • Work (W)- A change in energy (ΔE) or the product of Force and distance (d) • W=Fd • Work is only being done when components of the applied force are parallel to the displacement • Both are scalar and are measured in joules • 1 joule=kg m2/s2 or 1 joule=N*m
When is work being done? • If a hold a 30 kg object at a height of 1.5 meters is work being done? • I am exerting energy…. • Work is NOT being done on the OBJECT, work is being done on muscles, but not the object • The distance that the object has moved is zero so no work is done • W=Fd W=F0
Example • If the same 30 kg object was pushed to the right with an acceleration of 2m/s2 for 2.0 meters, how much work is done on the object? • W=Fd • Remember F=ma • M=30 kg • a=2 m/s2 • d=2.0 m • W=? • F=ma • F=30(2) = 60N • W=Fd • W=60(2) =120 J
Example • If I were to lift the 30.0 kg object up off the ground to a height of 1.5 m, how much work is done on the object? • When an object is being lifted against gravity, use g for the acceleration (9.8 m/s2) • W=mgd • m=30 kg • g=9.8 m/s2 • d=1.5 m • W=? • W=30(9.8)(1.5) W= 440 J

Clicker Question • A 10.0 kg pumpkin is moved horizontally 5.00 m at a constant velocity across a level floor using a horizontal force of 3.00 N. How much work is done in moving the pumpkin? • A) 30 J • B) 294 J • C) 15 J • D) 0 J
Example- Honors • A 50.0 kg banana box is pulled 11.0 m along a level surface by a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the floor of 35oand the tension in the rope is 90.0 N, how much work is done on the box? • Use the force component that is parallel to the displacement! • m=50.0 kg • d=11.0 m • Theta=35 degrees • Fapplied=90.0 N • W=? • W=Fd • F(x)=?
Example • A 1385 kg car traveling at 61 km/h is brought to a stop while skidding 42 m. What is the work done on the car by frictional forces? • m=1385 kg • vi-=61 km/hr • Vi=17 m/s • Δx=42 m • Vf=0 • W=? • W=Fd • F=? • F=ma
Nonconservative Forces • The work produced by nonconservative forces are dependent on the paths taken • Friction and air resistance are types of nonconservative forces • A conservative force, such as gravity, are not dependent on the path taken
How does an angle impact work? If you have a 10.0 kg object, how much work is done on the object if it is lifted 1 meter straight off the ground? On a ramp that is 30 degrees off the ground (A)? 60 degrees(B)? 1.0m A 10 Kg B 10 Kg
How does an angle impact work? Wf = Ffd Ff = ukFN FN gets larger as the angle gets smaller So… Ff gets smaller, But you still need to Add the Fg So the work Increases with a Higher angle 1.0m A 10 Kg B 10 Kg
Continued • Work against gravity will not change, however! • If they end at the same height the work against gravity will not change • The amount of force needed will change according to the angle, but the distance will change as well to get to the same height • So the work against gravity is the SAME
Work, Energy, and Power Potential Energy
Potential Energy • Energy can either be potential energy or kinetic energy • Potential energy is stored energy • Examples • Chemical • Elastic (bungee cord, trampoline, bow) • Electrical (static charges) • Gravitational potential energy Energy can be converted into different forms by doing work

Example • When a 2.00 kg mass is attached to a vertical spring, the spring is stretched 10.0 cm such that the mass is 50.0 cm above the table • What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the mass relative to the table? • What is the spring’s elastic potential energy is the spring constant is 400.0 N/m?

Work, Energy, and Power Conservation of Energy
Law of Conservation of Energy • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted into other forms of energy • TOTAL energy is always conserved • Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy as an object moves • When only conservative forces act on object potential energy is completely converted to kinetic energy • When nonconservative forces like friction act on an object, some energy will be converted to heat
