Work and Energy Energy comes in many forms. We will most often encounter two kinds of energy: Kinetic Energy – Energy of Motion. Any moving object has kinetic energy. The formula is KE = ½ mv2 Potential Energy – Stored Energy. There will be several types of potential energy: * Gravitational – Energy stored by lifting an object above the earth. We will have a more robust formula later, but for now: Ugrav = mgh * Elastic – Energy stored by stretching or compressing a spring. The formula is Uelastic = ½ kx2 * Electric – Energy stored by charges in an electric field. We will see this next quarter. Prepared by Vince Zaccone For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB

Work and Energy Work is energy transferred to a moving object when a force acts on it. To do work, the force must line up with the motion of the object. Perpendicular forces do no work. We will have two formulas involving work. W = Fdcos(θ) W = ΔKE Our main concept that ties it all together is Conservation of Energy. This says that the total energy of a system does not change. We can write down a formula that accounts for all the forms of energy: KEi + Ui + WNC = KEf + Uf This will be the template for most of the problems you will do involving energy.

Example: A 100kg box (initially at rest) is pushed across a horizontal floor by a force of 400N. If the coefficients of friction are μk=0.2 and μs=0.4, find the total work done on the box and the final speed when the box is pushed 10m. Assume the applied force is horizontal.

Example: A 100kg box is released from rest at the top of a frictionless 10-meter high ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Find the final speed of the box when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. Compare to the impact speed when the box is pushed over the edge and free-falls to the ground instead. 10m 30° Prepared by Vince Zaccone For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB

2) A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50kg straight up in the air, as shown in the figure. The spring has a spring constant of k=667N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0cm from its equilibrium position y=0 and then released, find the ball’s maximum height hmax(measured from the equilibrium position of the spring.) There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y-axis.

Also note that both blocks move at the same speed. In the absence of friction, we would just set these energies equal. We must account for friction by finding the work done by friction, and adding it to the initial energy. Note: this work will be negative, so we will end up with less energy than we started with, as expected (kinetic friction will always take energy away from the system).
