Energy: scalar quantity associated with a state (or condition) of one or more objects.
I. Kinetic energy
Energy associated with the state of motion of an object. K 1 mv2 (7.1) 2
Units: 1 Joule = 1J = 1 kgm2/s2 = N m
II. Work
Energy transferred "to" or "from" an object by means of a force acting on
the object. To +W From -W

Work done by the force = Energy transfer due to the force.
- To calculate the work done on an object by a force during a displacement, we use only the force component along the object's displacement. The force component perpendicular to the displacement does zero work.

- Assumptions: 1) F=cte, 2) Object particle-like. Units: 1 Joule = 1J = 1 kgm2/s2

A force does +W when it has a vector component in the same direction as the displacement, and ?W when it has a vector component in the opposite direction. W=0 when it has no such vector component.
Net work done by several forces = Sum of works done by individual forces.
Calculation:
1) Wnet= W1+W2+W3+... 2) Fnet Wnet=Fnet d
II. Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem
K K f Ki W
(7.4)
Change in the kinetic energy of the particle = Net work done on the particle
III. Work done by a constant force
- Gravitational force:

cos
(7.5)
Rising object: W= mgd cos180? = -mgd Fg transfers mgd energy from the object's kinetic energy.
Falling object: W= mgd cos 0? = +mgd Fg transfers mgd energy to the object's kinetic energy.
- External applied force + Gravitational force:
K K f Ki Wa Wg
(7.6)
Object stationary before and after the lift: Wa+Wg=0
The applied force transfers the same amount of energy to the object as the gravitational force transfers from the object.
IV. Work done by a variable force
- Spring force:
F kd
(7.7)
Hooke's law
k = spring constant measures spring's stiffness. Units: N/m
