Work and Energy Work done by a Force Kinetic Energy Potential Energy Conservative Force Non Conservative Force Conservation of Mechanical Energy Thermal Energy Power Machines Physics 150/250 Lesson 5

d F || F
4
Total work done on an object is the sum of the work done by all forces on the object
8
An object in the Presence of Force can have POTENTIAL ENERGY which is the negative of the work done by the force in moving the object through a displacement d
9
It has Potential Energy if the work done by the force on the object does NOT depend on the path the force makes the object travel between two fixed points
10
If a force has this property it is called a CONSERVATIVE FORCE
11
In such cases Work Done on Object by Force = Change of Kinetic Energy of Object = Negative of Change of Potential Energy of Object due to the Force
13
Gravity IS a conservative force Friction is NOT a conservative force
14
initial position final position Force of Gravity d initial height h i final height h f
16
As W K U K U 0 K U We callK U the Total Mechanical EnergyE of the object in the presence of a conservative force E=0 Conservation of Mechanical Energy
17
If the force is non conservative Mechanical Energy is NOT conserved Frictional work generates Thermal Energy (Heat) (Non mechanical energy) Friction is non conservative Thus we cannot associate Potential Energy with Friction
18
change of kinetic energy of object
19
Power Rate of doing work Rate of changing energy
20
Machines Ideal machines are 100% efficient Simple machines can amplify forces
