Potential Energy Energy associated with a particular position of a body when subjected to or acted on by forces. –Field Forces act on bodies even if not touching, like gravity, magnetism, electricity –Direct Contact forces, like springs Energy associated with position is potential energy. –Example: Gravitational potential energy is U grav = mgy for a position “y”. But what is “y”? Where is “y” = 0?? Potential Energy is RELATIVE, not absolute…

27. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Elastic potential energy A body is elastic if it returns to its original shape after being deformed. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in an elastic body, such as a spring. The elastic potential energy stored in an ideal spring is U el = 1/2 kx 2. Figure 7.14 at the right shows a graph of the elastic potential energy for an ideal spring.

28. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Situations with both gravitational and elastic forces When a situation involves both gravitational and elastic forces, the total potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the elastic potential energy: U = U grav + U el. Figure 7.15 below illustrates such a situation. Follow Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2.

33. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Conservative and nonconservative forces A conservative force allows conversion between kinetic and potential energy. Gravity and the spring force are conservative. The work done between two points by any conservative force a) can be expressed in terms of a potential energy function. b) is reversible. c) is independent of the path between the two points. d) is zero if the starting and ending points are the same.

34. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Conservative and nonconservative forces A conservative force allows conversion between kinetic and potential energy. Gravity and the spring force are conservative. A force (such as friction) that is not conservative is called a non-conservative force, or a dissipative force.

37. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Conservation of energy Nonconservative forces do not store potential energy, but they do change the internal energy of a system. The law of the conservation of energy means that energy is never created or destroyed; it only changes form. This law can be expressed as  K +  U +  U int = 0.
