B. Forms of Energy

1. scalar value measured in joules, J = 1 N•m

2. work, W = F||d (J)

a. Only component of F parallel to d does work

F

θ

d

1. F|| = Fcosθ ∴ W = (Fcosθ)d

2. include sign ∴ W > 0 when F → d →

b. Wnet > 0 (acceleration), Wnet < 0 (deceleration)

c. Wnet = 0

1. Fnet = 0 (lift)

2. F ↑↓ when d → (orbit)

d. work done by variable force—stretching a spring

1. graph spring force (Fs) vs. position (x)

| Fs | |

| | slope = k |x |

| | | |

| |Area = W | |

2. Fs = kx ∴ slope = ΔFs/Δx = k

3. W = Fsx ∴ area = ½bh = ½x(kx) = ½kx2 = W

3. power, P = W/t (W)

a. rate that work is done: Watt, W = J/s

b. P = Fvav, where v is average (W/t = F(d/t) = Fvav)

c. graphing

1. P = slope of W vs. t graph

2. P = area under F vs. v graph

d. kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy

(1KWh = 3.6 x 106 J)

4. mechanical energy

a. work-energy theorem: work done to an object increases mechanical energy; work done by an object decreases mechanical energy

b. scalar quantity, like work

c. kinetic energy—energy of motion

1. positive only

2. K = ½mv2 = p2/2m

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |v2 = v02 + 2ad |

|assume Ko = 0 ∴ vo = 0 |v2 = 2ad |

|solve for ad |ad = ½v2 |

|start with |K = W = Fd |

|substitute ma for F |K = (ma)d = m(ad) |

|substitute ½v2 for ad |K = m(½v2) |

|rearrange |K = ½mv2 |

|start with |mv = p |

|square both sides |m2v2 = p2 |

|divide both sides by 2m |m2v2/2m = p2/2m |

|substitute K for ½mv2 |K = p2/2m |

d. potential energy—energy of relative position

1. gravitational potential energy

a. based on arbitrary zero

(usually closest or farthest apart)

b. Ug = mgh (near the Earth's surface)

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |Ug = W = Fd |

|substitute mg for F |Ug = (mg)d |

|substitute h for d |Ug = mgh |

c. Ug = -GMm/r (orbiting system)

1. G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2

2. r = distance from center to center

3. Ug = 0 when r is ∞ ∴ Ug < 0 for all values of r because positive work is needed reach Ug = 0

2. spring (elastic) potential energy, Us = ½kx2

C. Conservation of Energy

1. work done on object A by a "nonconservative" force (push or pull, friction) results in the gain in mechanical energy for object A equal to the loss of energy by the source of the nonconservative force

2. work done on object A by a "conservative" force (gravity, spring) results in the change in form of mechanical energy (U Δ K) for object A, but no loss in energy

a. conservative forces (Fg and Fs)

1. Fg ↓ d ↓: Ug → K, Fg ↓ d ↑: K → Ug

2. Fs ↓ d ↓: Us → K, Fs ↓ d ↑: K → Us

b. process isn't 100 % efficient

1. friction (W = Ffd) reduces mechanical energy

2. mechanical energy is converted into random kinetic energy of the object's atoms and the temperature increases = heat energy—Q

3. total energy is still conserved

3. work done by object A on object B

a. W = mAad (uses up kinetic energy to decelerate)

b. energy loss by object A = energy gain by object B

c. some energy is lost due to friction

4. examples

| | |Process |Energy |

|1 |Work done to |pull a pendulum bob off center |W → Ug |

| |Transformation |release pendulum |Ug → K |

| |Work done by |hit a stationary object |K → W |

|2 |Work done to |throw a ball into the air |W → K |

| |Transformation |ball rises and falls |K Δ Ug |

| |Work done by |falling ball dents ground |K → W |

|3 |Work done to |load a projectile in spring-gun |W → Us |

| |Transformation |release projectile |Us → K |

| |Work done by |projectile penetrates target |K → W |

5. elastic collision formula proof (p and K are conserved)

|½mA(vA2 - vA'2) = ½mB(vB'2 - vB2) → (vA2 - vA'2) = (vB'2 - vB2) |

|mA(vA – vA') = mB(vB' – vB) (vA – vA') = (vB' – vB) |

|(vA – vA')(vA + vA') = (vB – vB')(vB + vB') → vA - vB = -(vA' - vB') |

|(vA – vA') = (vB' – vB) |

6. solving conservation of energy problems

|determine initial energy of the object, Eo |

|if elevated h distance: Ug = mgh |

|if accelerated to v velocity: K = ½mv2 |

|if spring compressed x distance: Us = ½kx2 |

|determine energy added/subtracted due to an external push or pull: Wp = |

|±F||d |

|determine energy removed from the object by friction: Wf = Ffd = |

|(μmgcosθ)d |

|d is the distance traveled |

|θ is the angle of incline (0o for horizontal) |

|determine resulting energy, E' = Eo ± Wp – Wf |

|determine d, h, x or v |

|if slides a distance d: 0 = Eo ± Wp – μmgcosθd' |

|if elevates a height h: E' = mgh' |

|If compresses a spring x: Us: E' = ½kx'2 |

|if accelerated to velocity v: E' = ½mv'2 |

|general equation (not all terms apply for each problem) |

|K + Ug + Us ± Wp – Wf = K' + Ug' + Us'' |

|½mv2 + mgh + ½kx2 ± Fpd – Ffd = ½mv'2 + mgh' + ½kx'2 |

7. solve ballistics problems

| |

|? |

|m vm |

|bullet collides inelastically with block: mvm = (M + m)v' |

|block swings or slides (conservation of energy) |

|block swings like a pendulum to height h |

|K = Ug ∴ ½(M + m)v'2 = (M + m)gh ∴ h = v'2/2g |

|block slides a distance d along a rough surface |

|K = Wf ∴ ½(M + m)v'2 = μ(M + m)gd ∴ d = v'2/2μg |
