  2. Work done by a constant Force • W = Fs = |F| |s| cos  = Fs s • |F| : magnitude of force • |s| = s : magnitude of displacement • Fs = magnitude of force in • direction of displacement : • Fs= |F| cos  • : angle between displacement and force vectors • Kinetic energy : KE= 1/2 m v2 • Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem: F s KE= Wnet

  3. Yi = h Yf = hf Yi = h0 Work Done by Gravity • Example 1: Drop ball Wg = (mg)(S)cos S = h0-hf Wg = mg(h0-hf) cos(00) = mg(h0-hf) = PEinitial – PEfinal S S mg mg y y x x

  4. Yi = h0 Yf = hf Work Done by Gravity • Example 2: Toss ball up Wg = (mg)(S)cos S = h0-hf Wg = mg(h0-hf)cos(1800) = =-mg(h0-hf) = PEinitial – PEfinal S mg y x

  5. Work Done by Gravity • Example 3: Slide block down incline h0 Wg = (mg)(S)cos S = h/cos Wg = mg(h/cos)cos Wg = mgh with h= h0-hf  h S mg hf • Work done by gravity is independent of path taken between h0 and hf • => The gravitational force is a conservative force.

  6. correct 1 3 2 Concept Question Imagine that you are comparing three different ways of having a ball move down through the same height. In which case does the ball reach the bottom with the highest speed? 1. Dropping2. Slide on ramp (no friction)3. Swinging down4. All the same In all three experiments, the balls fall from the same height and therefore the same amount of their gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. If their kinetic energies are all the same, and their masses are the same, the balls must all have the same speed at the end.

  7. Conservation of Mechanical Energy • Total mechanical energy of an object remains constant provided the net work done by non-conservative forces is zero: Etot = Ekin + Epot = constant or Ekin,f+Epot,f = Ekin,0+Epot,0 Otherwise, in the presence of net work done by non-conservative forces (e.g. friction): Wnc = Ekin,f – Ekin,0 + Epot,f-Epot,i

  8. correct Example Problem Suppose the initial kinetic and potential energies of a system are 75J and 250J respectively, and that the final kinetic and potential energies of the same system are 300J and -25J respectively. How much work was done on the system by non-conservative forces? 1. 0J 2. 50J3. -50J4. 225J5. -225J Work done by non-conservative forces equals the difference between final and initial kinetic energies plus the difference between the final and initial gravitational potential energies. W = (300-75) + ((-25) - 250) = 225 - 275 = -50J.

  9. Power • Average power is the average rate at which a net force does work: Pav = Wnet / t SI unit: [P] = J/s = watt (W) Or Pav = Fnet s /t = Fnet vav

  10. Work done by a Variable Force • The magnitude of the force now depends on the displacement: Fs(s) Then the work done by this force is equal to the area under the graph of Fs versus s, which can be approximated as follows: W = S DWi= S Fs(si) Ds = (Fs(s1)+Fs(s2)+…) Ds

  11. Example Problems: • [C&J Chapter 6, problem 10] P = 256 N => Wnet = 0 and Fnet,x = 0 • [C&J Chapter 6, problem 78] Energy conservation (FN=0 => Wnc =0 ): Etot,f= Etot,i  m g r cos q + ½ m vf2 = m g r (1) Centripetal force is provided only by gravitational force (FN=0) : - m g cos q = -m vf2/r (2) => Solve Eq.(2) for vf2 , plug in Eq.(1) and solve for q: cos q = 2/3 => q = 48 degrees
