Fall wk 4 – Thus.21.Oct.04 Welcome, roll, questions Exercise on rising CO 2 levels Energy and Work Looking ahead: Winter seminar texts Energy Systems, EJZ
2
Measured rising CO 2 levels Intro to Energy, Cassedy & Grossman
3
Predicting future CO 2 levels You found equations for ppm of CO 2 (t in yrs) (a)Linear rise: L(t) = 8/7 t + 315 (b)Exponential rise: z(t) = 315 (1.005) t (c)Oscillations: c(t) = 4 cos 2 t To predict CO 2 level in 2100, use (a) or (b). To predict when CO 2 level will reach 550 ppm, solve (a) or (b) for time.

Energy and work Mechanical energy = potential + kinetic Mechanical energy is conserved (E before = E after ) In the absence of dissipative forces If the force is conservative (e.g. gravity, elec) Potential energy depends on the source: Gravitational, chemical, electrostatic, spring, others?
5
Conservation of energy In a conservative system, energy can change from kinetic energy potential energy K = ½ mv 2 U = mgh Force = slope of potential energy curve. Where is the net force=0? Where is it greatest?
6
Conservative forces No dissipation, e.g. friction Work done = change in kinetic energy Increase in K = decrease in U Work is independent of path Work = force * distance. Which path takes more work? What is the work done in going around a loop?
7
Conservation of energy 1. Which kid will be going fastest at the bottom? A.Paul B. Kathleen C. Same 2. Which kid will reach the bottom first?
8
Energy in oscillations In an oscillating system, energy can slosh back and forth between kinetic and potential
9
Simple harmonic motion Kinetic energy = ½ mv 2 Potential energy = ½ kx 2

Force and Power Energy = Force * distance: E = F x Power = Energy/time: P = E/t P = (F x)/t Velocity = v = x/t P = F (x/t) P = F v Power = Force * velocity
13
Energy derivations (extra) Force = mass * acceleration = m a a = dv/dt and v = dx/dt, so F = m dv/dt = m v (dv/dx) K = Kinetic energy = force * distance = F dx K = [m v (dv/dx)]dx = m v dv = ½ mv 2 Kinetic energy = ½ mv 2 We can define a potential energy U in a conservative force: F = -dU/dx
