1
Work and Energy Definition of Work Kinetic Energy Potential Energy
Conservation of Mechanical Energy Power Efficiency
2
The product of Force and distance moved In the direction of the force
What is work? The product of Force and distance moved In the direction of the force
3
In the direction of the force
Force and displacement must be in the same dimension Parallel or antiparallel If parallel, work done is positive If antiparallel, work done is negative If force is perpendicular to displacement, work done is zero.
4
Negative work is also referred to as Work done against the antiparallel force
5
F s Work = F x s Positive work Units for Work: Nm or Joule, J
6
Weight Work done by Weight Zero Normal Friction Negative Tension Friction Normal Force
7
No work for Gravity and Normal force s Work = (F cos 30) x s
8
Examples
9
How do you calculate for total work?
10
To calculate for total work
Sum of all of the work done by each force Or Net force x displacement
11
Points on Total Work If net force is zero, total work is also zero.
If net work is not zero, then the body is accelerating. Equation
12
The stored ability to do work
What is energy? The stored ability to do work
13
Kinetic Energy of an object
Stored ability to do work because of its motion. Work –Energy Theorem
14
Examples
15
The work done by gravity
16
Second case
17
(Gravitational) Potential Energy of an object
Stored ability to do work as a result of it position. Conservation of Mechanical Energy
18
Examples
19
The rate of doing work Work done per unit time Equation Units
Power The rate of doing work Work done per unit time Equation Units
20
Power and Quality of work
are not the same.
21
Power output per power input
Efficiency Power output per power input
22
Example A simple pendulum, consisting of a mass m, is attached to the end of a 1.5 m length of string. If the mass is held out horizontally, which makes a 60°angle with the vertical, and then released from rest, what is its speed at the bottom?
23
Example If the kg roller coaster leaves Point Q from rest, how fast is it traveling at Point R?
24
Example If the 1000-kg roller coaster leaves Point Q from rest, what is its speed at Point S?
