1 Work and Energy Conservation of Energy

2 Conserved Quantities Conserved – remains constant –M–M–M–May change form Mass and energy are both conserved

4 Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy – the sum of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy –Typically involves things we can see Not atomic or chemical energies Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + sum of all potential energies ME=KE+ΣPE Non-mechanical energy – energy that is not mechanical, such as nuclear, chemical, internal, and electrical

5 Mechanical Energy

6 Conservation of mechanical energy – in the absence of friction, the total amount of mechanical energy in a system is conserved Initial mechanical energy = final mechanical energy MEi=MEf

7

8 Other than friction, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of forces acting on an object Mechanical energy is conserved when an object experiences variable acceleration

9 Friction and Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy is not conserved in the presence of friction –T–T–T–Total energy is still conserved Total energy is always conserved in non- nuclear reactions Friction converts mechanical energy into non-mechanical energies such as sound and heat
