Ch 6 Work and Energy1
• Work is when a force is applied and an object is displaced
• If no displacement occurs or no force is applied then no work is done.
• The definition of work when the force is parallel to the displacement
Work in 1 dimension
2
In the SI system, the units of work are joules:
As long as this person does not lift or lower the bag of groceries, he is doing no work on it. The force he exerts has no component in the direction of motion.
3
• If the force is at an angle to the displacement you must determine the component of the force that is directed parallel to the displacement.
Work in 2 dimensions
4
Work done by forces that oppose the direction of motion, such as friction, will be negative.

The work done may be positive, zero, or negative, depending on the
angle between the force and the displacement
6
If there is more than one force acting on an object, we can find the work done by each force, and also the work done by the net force
Wtotal=W1 + W2 + W3 … = Σ W

6-3 & 6-4 KE, PE and Work Energy Principle• Kinetic energy (KE) is energy of motion
• Gravitational potential energy (PE; often just called potential energy) is energy of position
8
Mechanical Energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of an object
Energy was traditionally defined as the ability to do work. Not all forces can do work, but ME can
ME= KE + PE

• For objects moving at speeds much slower than the speed of light Kinetic energy is calculated by
Kinetic Energy KE
KE=1/2mv2 10
• An object can have potential energy by virtue of its position or height– A wound-up spring– A stretched elastic
band– An object at some
height above the ground
Potential Energy PE
PE=mgy
11
• The net force done on an object is equal to the change in the object’s kinetic energy
• Work and kinetic energy can be equated and have the same units; joules.
Work-Energy Principle or Theorem
Wnet=ΔKE
12
Potential energy can also be stored in certain materials when they are
compressed; the figure below shows potential energy yielding
kinetic energy.
13
The force required to compress or stretch a spring is:
where k is the spring constant, and needs to be measured for each spring.Negative because it is a restoring force, acting in the opposite direction of displacement
Hooke’s Law
14
• The force increases as the spring is stretched or compressed
• Potential energy of the compressed or stretched spring measured from its equilibrium position
Elastic potential energy

6-5 Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
Conservative forces are ones that do not depend on, or are independent, of the path taken. An example is gravityIf the object were to return to the starting point no net work would be done

• Nonconservative forces are ones that do depend on the path taken.
• Also called dissipative forces because the energy is not stored as mechanical energy but changed into a different type such as heat energy
• An example is friction
17
Potential energy can only be defined for conservative forces.
18
6-6 Mechanical Energy and Its Conservation•If there are no nonconservative forces, the sum of the changes in the kinetic energy and in the potential energy is zero
• If only conservative forces are acting the total ME of the system stays constant or is conserved
•This is the principle of conservation of mechanical energy
19
Total mechanical energy ME= KE + PE therefore
20
Energy conservation• The total energy is neither increased nor
decreased, only transformed from one form to another and transferred from one object to another. The total amount remains the same.
This is the Law of Conservation of Energy
21
6-10 Power
Power is the rate at which work is done
The difference between walking and running up these stairs is power – the change in gravitational potential energy is the same.
In the SI system, the units of power are watts:
22
Efficiency• The ratio of power output to input
• Always less than 1 because engines always lose some input power to friction
Efficiency=Pou
