Emovement (KE) 
Ethermal
Ebond
Espring
Eelectric
Egravity
Energy is converted from one form to another,
but never created or destroyed!

4. Energy System Expressions
Ethermal = C T = mcpT, Temperature is the indicator.
Between phase changes, only thermal
energy changes.
Ebond = |m H|, m is the indicator.
At a physical phase change, only the bond-energy
system changes. H is the heat of the particular
phase change. m is the amount that changed phase.
In a chemical reaction, there are several bond energy changes corresponding to diff. molecular species (reactants or products). Here H is the heat of formation for a particular species.

Ebond

5. Energy Interaction Diagrams - Closed SystemEa Eb Ec
Conservation of Energy
The total energy of a closed physical system must remain
constant. So, the change of the energies of all energy systems associated with the physical system must sum to zero.
Change in closed system energy = ∆Ea + ∆ Eb + ∆ Ec = 0

6. Energy Interaction Diagrams - Open System
Energy added
Energy removed Ea Eb Ec
Conservation of Energy
The change of the energies of all systems associated with an open physical system must sum to the net energy added or removed. Energy is added or removed as Heat or Work.
Change in open system energy = ∆Ea + ∆ Eb + ∆ Ec
= (Energy added) - (Energy removed) = Q + W.

7. Example for Open System
Energy added = J
Clicker! Ea
Suppose we have a system where 100J of heat comes in from the outside. Joe claims that the only energy system that changes is Ea and that Ea is negative (Ea decreases).
Can Joe be correct?
Yes, its possible that he is correct.
Yes, Joe is definitely correct.
No way is Joe’s description correct.

19. Kinetic Energy System (KE)
Kinetic energy is simply Emoving.
For translational energy, the indicator is speed;
the faster an object moves, the more KE it has.
There is a quantitative relationship between KE and speed. Also, it is proportional to the mass of the object:
The direction of motion of the object is unimportant. KE
Speed

Work
KEtrans = ½ m v2

20. Work KE Speed Remember this equation for an open system?
You have worked a lot with Q, Heat. Now we introduce Work:
Work: A transfer of energy that takes place from a physical system to another physical system due to an interaction that involves a Force. KE
Speed
Baseball
Work
1) The pitcher’s hand “pushed” the baseball.
2) The pitcher’s hand exerted force on the baseball.
3) As a result, the baseball started moving (its KE increased).

21. May the Force Be With You!
"an energy field,
created by all living things,
that surrounds us, penetrates us,
and binds the galaxy together."

22. Force
To be more precise, we need the concept of “Force” : “Push” or “Pull”
An overall push (or pull!) in the direction the object is travelling has the effect of speeding it up.
Consider a block being pushed by you on a level surface with no friction:
1) Block is already moving, you push in same direction:
direction of Force
Force as an agent of interaction of two objects, we are more interested in the interaction itself.
Force is an agent of the interaction and the result of that interaction is different depending on the relative direction of the applied force and the object’s motion.
Energy was transferred into the KE system of the block in forms of work KE
Speed
Work
direction of travel

23. Force
To be more precise, we need the concept of “Force” : “Push” or “Pull”
An overall push (or pull!) in against the direction the object
is travelling has the effect of slowing it down.
Consider a block being pushed by you on a level surface with no friction:
2) Block is already moving, you push in opposite direction:
Energy was transferred out of the KE system of the block in forms of work
direction of Force KE
Speed
Work
direction of travel

24. What’s force got to do with work?
Transfer of energy into or out of a physical system by a force exerted by another physical system.
The change in energy results from an interaction in which an object
moves through a distance parallel to the force exerted on it.
Work = Fparallel ∆x = F|| ∆x
[Joule] = [Newton] [m]=[Nm]

25. Work Example
How much energy was transferred to the KE system of the baseball in form of Work?
Conservation of Energy says…
∆KE = Work
∆KE = KEfinal - KEinitial =1/2(m)(vf2) - 0 KE
Speed
Baseball
Work
(290 J, assume v=100mph=44m/s, m=0.3kg)
Physics way of saying , Nolan Ryan pitched a ball at 100mph,
The pitcher’s hand exerted 290 N amount of force on the baseball over a distance of 1m parallel to the ball’s velocity.
Thus, the pitcher 290Joule amount of work on the ball, which is equal to the increase in the KE of the baseball.
100mph=160km/60min=160,000m/3600sec=44m/sec
290Joule
2. What about force?
Work = F|| ∆ x= F|| (1m)
F|| = 290 N

26. Properties of Forces Force is a vector quantity
i.e. Forces have both magnitude and direction
Force is the agent of interaction of TWO objects
e.g. The pitcher’s hand and the baseball
The two forces involved in an interaction are opposite and equal
(Newton’s Third Law)
Fhand on the baseball = - Fbaseball on the hand

28. Pull Where did the energy go?? vf=0 vi=0
Work was done on the mass: Work = F||∆x
Where did the energy go??

vf=0
What is the indicator of the object change?
Temperature? Phase? Speed? ∆x
PEgrav
Height
Work m
vi=0
Conservation of Energy says…
∆PEgrav = Work
= Fyou on mass ∆height= mg(hfinal - hinitial)

29. Potential Energy System (PE)
Potential energy due to gravity: Eheight. (There are other types of PE, such as PE in a spring, or chemical PE.)
For gravitational PE, the indicator is height; a higher object (with respect to something else) has more PEgravity. Can we show this?
The quantitative relationship between PE and height:
(g~10 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.)
PEgravity = mgh

30. Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy-system exists for each pair of
objects interacting by the gravitational force
Usually, we focus on the gravitational potential energy due to
the interaction between an object and the Earth.
PEgravity = mgh
∆PEgravity depends on two quantities: the change in vertical distance that the object moved, and the mass of the object.

PEgrav
Height

31. KE  PEgravity
1) You throw a ball to the height of the first floor window.
2) Now you want to throw a ball to the height of the 4th floor.
Question: How much faster do you need to throw it?
2 times as fast
Twice as fast
Thrice as fast
4 times as fast
16 times as fast

32. Bowling Ball What is the height of
the bowling ball after one full swing?
Same
(b) Higher
(c) Lower

33. Bowling Ball When is the speed of the bowling ball maximum?c a b
When is the speed of the bowling ball maximum?
Starting point
(b) When rope is vertical
(c) After reaches point c.

34. Bowling Ball When is the PEgravity of the bowling ball maximum?c a b
When is the PEgravity of the bowling ball maximum?
Starting point
(b) When rope is vertical
(c) After reaches point c.

35. Conservation of Energy
Consider a simple pendulum:
At the height (peak) of the amplitude, the object is at rest. Egravity = mgh (define h above the low point)
At the bottom of the motion, the object is moving quickly, and h=0. Etrans = ½ m v2
Conservation of Energy dictates that:
PEgravity = KEtranslational
mgh = ½ m v2
All of the PE goes into KE, and then back again!

36. Work  Kinetic Energy Only?
Pull
Work  Kinetic Energy Only?
Mass is pulled part way up a well
(like in FNT). This time work is done but there is
no change in KE when v=0. Work entering or leaving does NOT automatically mean KE is increasing or decreasing. Similar to how heat entering or leaving does NOT automatically mean the temperature is changing. m

40. Potential Energy: Springs
Springs contain energy when you stretch or compress them. We will use them a lot in Physics 7.
The indicator is how much the spring is stretched or compressed, x, from its equilibrium (rest) state.
k is a measure of the “stiffness”
of the spring, with units [k] = kg/s2.
x: Much easier to stretch a spring a little bit than a lot!
PEspring = ½ kx2 x

41. PEvertical spring = ½ ky2 +C
Mass-Spring Systems
PEvertical spring = ½ ky2 +C
k is a property of the spring only
PEmass-spring does not depend on mass
PE = 0 arbitrary

42. Mass-Spring Systems
Is the KE (kinetic energy) of a mass-spring system a function of position?
a) No, in this case the potential energy is a
function of position.
b) The kinetic energy can be treated as a function
of position provided the system is closed.
c) The kinetic energy can always be treated as a
function of position in a mass-spring system.
d) The kinetic energy can be treated as a function
of position provided the system is open.
e) Not enough information is given.

43. PEgravity = KEtranslational
Kinetic Energy
In any situation, KE is:
Sometimes from the conservation of energy:
we can express KE in terms of position (h, y, etc).
KE can never be negative!
KEtrans = ½ m v2
PEgravity = KEtranslational
mgh = ½ m v2
