PHY 151: Lecture 7 Conservation of Energy 7.1 Nonisolated System (Energy)
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 1 In a nonisolated system: Energy crosses boundary of the system due to interaction with the environment For example, the work-kinetic energy theorem: Interaction of system with environment is work done by external force Quantity in system that changes is kinetic energy
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 2 Methods of energy transfer: Work: transfers energy by applying a force and causing a displacement of the point of application of the force Mechanical Waves: allow a disturbance to propagate through a medium Heat: is driven by a temperature difference between two regions in space
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 3 Matter Transfer: matter physically crosses the boundary of the system, carrying energy with it Electrical Transmission: transfer is by electric current Electromagnetic Radiation: energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 4
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 5 Energy is conserved This means that energy cannot be created or destroyed If the total amount of energy in a system changes, it can only be due to the fact that energy has crossed the boundary of the system by some method of energy transfer
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 6 Mathematically, Esystem = ST Esystem is the total energy of the system T is the energy transferred across the system boundary Note: Twork = W and Theat = Q Others do not have standard symbols, so we use: TMW (mechanical waves) TMT (matter transfer) TET (electrical transmission) TER (electromagnetic radiation)
Nonisolated System (Energy) - 7 The primary mathematical representation of the energy analysis of a nonisolated system is If all of the terms on the right are zero, the system is an isolated system The Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem (K = W) is a special case of the more general equation above

Example 7.2 You are designing an apparatus to support an actor of mass 65 kg who is to “fly” down to the stage during the performance of a play. You attach the actor’s harness to a 130-kg sandbag by means of a lightweight steel cable running smoothly over two frictionless pulleys. You need 3.0 m of cable between the harness and the nearest pulley so that the pulley can be hidden behind a curtain.
Example 7.2 For the apparatus to work successfully, the sandbag must never lift above the floor as the actor swings from above the stage to the floor. Let us call the initial angle that the actor’s cable makes with the vertical . What is the maximum value can have before the sandbag lifts off the floor?
