Conservation of Energy
Energy is a quantity that can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed.
The total amount of energy present in any process remains the same.
Physics chapter 7 3
Work
Has a very specific definition in physics.Involves a force moving a body through
a displacement.If the force is in the same direction as
the motion,

Physics chapter 7 4
Vector equation for work
If the force is directed at an angle to the displacement, then only the component of the force that is parallel to the displacement does work.

Physics chapter 7 5
Vector equation for work
Important – work is a scalar quantity, not a vector, even though it is derived from two vectors.
Work does not have a direction.
Physics chapter 7 6
Work
If q is between 0° and 90°, cos q is positive, so work done is positive.
If q is between 90° and 180°, cos q is negative, so work done is negative.
If q is 90°, cos q is zero, so work done is zero.
Physics chapter 7 7
Example
Lifting, carrying, and lowering a book.

Units on work
The unit for work is a joule.

Example
During your winter break you enter a dogsled race across a frozen lake. To get started you pull the sled (m = 80 kg) with a force of 180 N at 20° above the horizontal. You pull the sled 5 m.
Find the amount of work you do

On your own
A truck of mass 3000 kg is to be loaded onto a ship by a crane that exerts an upward force of 31 kN on the truck. This force is applied over a distance of 2 m.
Find the work done by the crane on the truck
Physics chapter 7 11
Work and energy with varying forces
The equations we’ve developed so far for work involve constant forces and motion along a straight line.
Now let’s look at varying forces.We could also look at motion along
curved lines, but we would need to use integrals, which you don’t know how to do yet.
Physics chapter 7 12
The spring force
The farther you stretch a spring, the harder it is to stretch.
The force you must apply follows the following equation, known as Hooke’s Law
Where k is called the force constant of the spring or the spring constant. k has units of N/m

Where x1 is the initial position of the spring, x2 is the final position of the spring
x = 0 is the equilibrium position of the spring (when it is neither stretched nor compressed.)
Physics chapter 7 15
Example
A 4-kg block on a frictionless table is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 400 N/m. The spring is initially compressed with the block at x1 = -5 cm.
Find the work done on the block as the block moves to its equilibrium position x2 = 0
Physics chapter 7 16
On your own
To stretch a spring 3.00 cm from its unstretched length, 12.0 J of work must be done. How much work must be done to compress this spring 4.00 cm from its unstretched length?

Work and Kinetic Energy
The total work done on a body is related to changes in the speed of the body.

Where does kinetic energy come from?
If an object falls off a cliff, gravity does work on it as it falls, and increases its kinetic energy.
But where does that energy come from?
Physics chapter 7 27
Potential Energy
Energy seems to be stored in some form related to height.
This energy is related to the position of a body, not its motion.
It is called potential energy. – measures potential or possibility for work to be done.
(Some kinds of potential energy are related to things other than height.)
Physics chapter 7 28
Work done by gravity
Work done by gravity as a body falls from height y1 to height y2.

Also works if object is rising – then y2 is greater than y1, so the work is negative, as it should be.

Conservation of Mechanical Energy
When only gravity does work, the total mechanical energy is constant.

Physics chapter 7 32
Where do I measure y from?
Wherever you want.It is only the change in potential energy
that we are interested in, not the value of U at a particular point.
So choose your zero potential energy point wherever it is convenient.
Physics chapter 7 33
Example
Standing near the edge of the roof of a 12-m high building, you kick a ball with an initial speed of vi = 16 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, use conservation of energy to find How high above the height of the building the ball
rises Its speed just before it hits the ground

You throw a 0.200-kg ball straight up in the air, giving it an initial upward velocity of 20.0 m/s. Use conservation of energy to find how high it goes.

Example
A child of mass 40 kg goes down an 8.0 m long slide inclined at 30° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide and the child is 0.35. If the child starts from rest at the top of the slide, how fast is she traveling when she reaches the bottom?
5.60 m/s
Physics chapter 7 37
Curved path
The shape of the path makes no difference for gravitational potential potential energy.
You can still use the same equations for conservation of energy.

The work done by conservative forces:Can always be expressed as the difference
between the initial and final values of a potential energy function.

starting and ending points.)Equals zero when the starting and ending
points are the same.
