Potential Energy • Potential Energy is stored energy • Potential Energy is position dependent (KE is speed dependent) • Ex. object at higher height has more PE • Types of PE: gravitational, elastic, electric, magnetic, chemical, nuclear. • /
Conservative Forces • When the work done by a force moving from position 1 to 2 is independent of the path, the force is Conservative. • The work done by a Conservative Force is zero for any closed path. • Conservative Forces have associated Potential Energies • /
Non Conservative Forces • Produce thermal energy, e.g. friction • Work done by Non Conservative Forces is path dependent, e.g. longer path, more work required • /
Ex. Elastic Potential Energy • 100N/m spring is compressed 0.2m. • F = -kx = -(100N/m)(0.2m) = -20N • U = ½kx2 = ½(100N/m)(0.2m)2 = 2J • /
Ex. Gravitational Potential Energy • Ex: A 2kg object experiences weight (2kg)(9.8N/kg) = 19.6N. • At 3m above the floor it has a stored energy of mgy: • (2kg)(9.8N/kg)(3m) = 48.8Nm = 48.8J. • /
Conservation of Energy • Individual energy levels change. • Sum of all individual energies is constant. • /

s Example: The smaller the frictional force fk, the larger the distance, s, it will travel before stopping.

By energy conservation, the sum of all energies in each column is the same, = E1 = mg(1) = 19.6J Calculate v2: (use 1st and 2nd columns) mg(1) = ½ m(v2)2. g = ½ (v2)2. v2 = 4.43m/s Calculate PE-thermal: (use 1st and 5th columns) mg(1) = mg(1/2) + PE-thermal mg(1/2) = PE-thermal PE-thermal = 9.8J
Calculate PE-elastic: (use 1st and 3rd columns) PE-elastic + PE-thermal = mg(1) PE-elastic + 9.8 = 19.6 PE-elastic = 9.8J Calculate v4: (use 1st and 4th columns) ½ m(v4)2 + PE-thermal = mg(1) ½ m(v4)2 + 9.8 = 19.6 ½ m(v4)2 = 9.8 (v4)2 = 2(9.8)/2 v4 = 3.13m/s
Equilibrium • Stable: small displacement in any direction results in a restoring force toward Equilibrium Point • Unstable: small displacement in any direction results in a force away from Equilibrium Point • Neutral: small displacement in any direction results in zero force
