How much is that?

If the force is at an angle to the motion, it does the following work:the following work:

(7-3)

θ is the angle between force and motion direction.g

Pulling at θ= 20 , F=15N, d=2 mW= Fd cos θ =15*2* cos 20 = 28 J

7-1 Work Done by a Constant ForceTh k l b itt th d tThe work can also be written as the dot product of the force and the displacement:

θ is the angle between force and motion di tidirection.

The work done may be positive, zero, or negative, depending on the angle between the force and the motion:

Here for F and d we only use their sizes (absolute value). The sign of the work is determined only by the angle between that force and motionby the angle between that force and motion.

Special cases:

When force is perpendicular

When force is Opposite to motion directionp p

to motion direction, it does no work.

to motion direction, cos(180)=-1.Examples:

Examples:Normal force is always perpendicular to surface

Examples:Kinetic friction force does negative work. perpendicular to surface.

Wfk = – fk dAlways!

If there is more than one force acting on an object we can find the work done by each forceobject, we can find the work done by each force and add them together to find the total work.

(7-5)

Total work: Wtotal = W1 + W2 +W3+ …..the sum of the work done by each forces.

Q: Is Work a scalar or a vector?Scalar!It l h h i dd d dIt only says how much energy is added or used,(positive or negative), but doesn’t indicate motiondirections or force directionsdirections or force directions.When we add work to get total work, we add aspositive and negative simple numbers. p g pWe don’t add work as vector arrows.

7-2 Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy TheoremTheorem

When positive work is done on an object, its speed increases; when negative work is done, its speed decreases.

7-2 Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy TheoremTheorem

After algebraic manipulations of the equations ofAfter algebraic manipulations of the equations of motion, we find: The total work done to one object is always equal to the change of its ½mv2

Therefore, we define the kinetic energy:(7-6)(7-6)

Kinetic energy has SI unit: J gy(same dimension as Work) 1 kg m2/s2 = 1 (kg m/s2)m =1Nm =1 Joule 12

7-2 Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy TheoremTheorem

Work-Energy Theorem: The total work done onWork Energy Theorem: The total work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy.

It’s true for ALL MOTIONS,no only for constant a motion!!! 13

To get total work done by all forces, add work in Joules directly as simple numbers!You only need to worry about the angles betweenYou only need to worry about the angles between each force and actual motion when you calculate work done by each force.yAfter the work is calculated. Add them as simple numbers, no worry about direction any more. 15

7-3 Work Done by a Variable ForceIf the force is constant, we can interpret the work done graphically:
