Chapter 7 The Conservation of Energy

Consider an object dropped near the surface of the earth. If the distance is small then the gravitational force between the earth and the object will be nearly constant. If the object drops from a height y 1 to a height y 2, the work done by its weight will be:

Potential Energy The gravitational potential energy is defined as: Here, h is the height. Or

The initial and final values for the gravitational potential energy of the falling object are: The change in the gravitational potential energy is then equal to negative the work done.

Conservation of Energy Suppose a body is allowed to fall under the influence of gravity near the surface of the earth. If no other forces are present then the total mechanical energy of the system will be conserved.

As a body falls its kinetic energy increases and its potential energy decreases. Therefore, the total energy of the system can be expressed by the following:

Conservation of Mechanical Energy Note: The path that a body takes during its descent is independent of the previous equation. Therefore, if we wish to apply the conservation of energy to a problem, we need only consider the vertical displacement, through which it falls.

Example The highest hill of a particular roller coaster is 27-m. If the loaded cars have an initial speed of 5.0 m/s when they crest the largest hill, determine the maximum speed of the roller coaster during the ride.

Solution If we assume that air resistance and friction are negligible, then the maximum speed can be obtained from the conservation of energy.

Solution cont. Solving for the final speed we get:

The maximum speed of the roller coaster should be slightly less than our calculated value due to friction and air resistance.

Elastic Potential Energy Previously, we determined the work done compressing or stretching a spring. Using the work energy theorem we can now write the following:

The potential energy can now be defined as:

Example Wile Coyote, in an attempt to catch the Road Runner, constructs a catapult. The catapult has a spring constant of 100,000 N/m and is compressed by 3.5 m. A large rock with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on the catapult. As usual, things go wrong and Wile is launched with the rock into the air.

Example cont. If Wile’s mass is 40-kg, determine the maximum speed of Wile as he is launched with the rock. Determine the maximum height of the rock and Wile.

Solution If we apply the conservation of energy to the problem we get:

Solving for the speed we get:

Solution part 2 To determine the maximum height we assume that the rock and Wile will travel straight upward. The maximum height occurs when the kinetic energy is zero. Therefore,

Solution part 2 cont.

Example Consider a pendulum. If there is no friction or air resistance present, then the total mechanical energy of the pendulum must remain constant. At the most upward portion of the swing the energy is all potential. Meanwhile, at the lowest portion of the swing the energy is all kinetic.

L  m yy Pendulum

Example Continued Determine the relationship for the maximum kinetic energy of the pendulum.

Solution We can write the vertical displacement in terms of the length of the pendulum.

L  m yy Pendulum L cos  L(1-cos 

The energy of the system is then given by the following:

If the pendulum starts from rest then the maximum kinetic energy is:

Non-conservative Forces A non-conservative force is one in which the total mechanical energy is not conserved. For such cases we must subtract the work done by these non-conservative force from the total energy of the system. The work done by non-conservative forces, unlike conservative forces, is path dependent.

Example Consider the naked roller coaster once again with a total mass of 2000-kg. Suppose that the drag force of the air and the frictional force of the track gave a net resistive force of 750-N. Furthermore, assume that the length of track from the top of the hill to the bottom is 100-m. Determine the speed of the passengers at the bottom of the hill.

Solution

Solution cont.

On Force and Potential Energy Consider the equation of work in one dimensional. If the force is parallel to the displacement then we can write the following:

By the work energy theorem this is also equal to negative the change in the potential energy.

Now consider the work done by a force applied over a tiny displacement. Rearranging and letting  x go to zero we get:

Example As a check lets see what result we obtain if we apply the previous equation to the potential of a spring.

Force and Potential Energy in 3-D We wish to derive a force from a potential energy. However, force is a vector quantity, while potential energy is a scalar. Therefore, we need a vector operator that can transform a scalar into a vector.

The Gradient Consider the following vector operator in Cartesian coordinates. This operator differentiates a scalar function and converts the result into a vector.

If we operate on the negative of our potential with the gradient we get the force.
