Work-Energy Theorem The work done on an object by the net force acting on it is its change in kinetic energy. ∑F·  r =  K

Objective Calculate the average power necessary to change an object’s energy by a given amount in a given time.

Power Rate of doing work  E = change in energy ( = work)  t = time interval Power = EE tt = w tt

Units of Power = J/s= W = watt Power = EE tt W = kg m 2 s 2 s kg m 2 s3s3 = Energy time

Group Work 2.The 2004 Tour de France’s Alpe d’Huez time trial stage was a steep climb with its finish 1200 m higher than the start. Lance Armstrong won with a time  t of 39:41 (2381 s). He and his gear had a combined mass of 84 kg. What was Lance’s average power  E/  t during the stage? Hint: Use change in gravitational potential energy for  E.

Power A different but equivalent formula Power = w tt = F·dF·d tt = F·v v = velocity  d = change in position

Example Problem Show that (force·velocity) gives the same units as (work/time). force units = velocity units = work units = time units =

Conservation of Energy

What’s the point? Nature keeps careful account of energy.

Objectives Track energy transfers in interactions.

Which is greater? A. The force F 1 exerted downward on the lever arm B. The force F 2 exerted upward on the rock C. They are the same magnitude Think Question

Which is greater? A. The distance d 1 traveled by the lever arm B. The distance d 2 traveled by the rock C. They are the same distance Think Question

Which is greater? A. The work done on the lever arm B. The work done on the rock C. They are the same Poll Question

Simple Machines Input and output forces can be different Trade-off is distance traveled Work is unchanged –work input = work output

Conservation of Energy Energy can be transferred between objects or transformed into different forms, but the total amount of energy can never change.

Think Question Which changes its momentum the most? A.A moving object that stops when it hits a barrier. B.A moving object that bounces back from a barrier. Hint: Momentum is a vector.

Poll Question Which changes its kinetic energy the most? A.A moving object that stops when it hits a barrier. B.A moving object that bounces back from a barrier. Hint: kinetic energy depends on speed, not direction.

Inelastic Collisions Total kinetic energy decreases. Work done against friction and drag: –is not stored as potential energy –cannot be recovered as kinetic energy Thermal energy increases. Energy is conserved!

Reading for Next Time Uniform circular motion Big ideas: –Direction of motion changes but speed does not. –Acceleration and net force are well-defined, with a specific direction.
