B. Forms of Energy
1. scalar value measured in joules, J = 1 N•m
2. work, W = F||d (J)
a. Only component of F parallel to d does work
F
d
1. F|| = Fcos W = (Fcos)d
2. include sign W > 0 when F d
b. Wnet > 0 (acceleration), Wnet < 0 (deceleration)
c. Wnet = 0
1. Fnet = 0 (lift)
2. F when d (orbit)
d. work done by variable force—stretching a spring
1. graph spring force (Fs) vs. position (x)
-
2. Fs = kx slope = Fs/x = k
3. W = Fsx area = ½bh = ½x(kx) = ½kx2 = W
3. power, P = W/t (W)
a. rate that work is done: Watt, W = J/s
b. P = Fvav, where v is average (W/t = F(d/t) = Fvav)
c. graphing
1. P = slope of W vs. t graph
2. P = area under F vs. v graph
d. kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy
(1KWh = 3.6 x 106 J)
4. mechanical energy
a. work-energy theorem: work done to an object increases mechanical energy; work done by an object decreases mechanical energy
b. scalar quantity, like work
c. kinetic energy—energy of motion
1. positive only
2. K = ½mv2 = p2/2m
Steps
|
Algebra
|
start with
assume Ko = 0 vo = 0
solve for ad
|
v2 = v02 + 2ad
v2 = 2ad
ad = ½v2
|
start with
substitute ma for F
substitute ½v2 for ad
rearrange
|
K = W = Fd
K = (ma)d = m(ad)
K = m(½v2)
K = ½mv2
|
start with
square both sides
divide both sides by 2m
substitute K for ½mv2
|
mv = p
m2v2 = p2
m2v2/2m = p2/2m
K = p2/2m
|
d. potential energy—energy of relative position
1. gravitational potential energy
a. based on arbitrary zero
(usually closest or farthest apart)
b. Ug = mgh (near the Earth's surface)
Steps
|
Algebra
|
start with
substitute mg for F
substitute h for d
|
Ug = W = Fd
Ug = (mg)d
Ug = mgh
|
c. Ug = -GMm/r (orbiting system)
1. G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2
2. r = distance from center to center
3. Ug = 0 when r is Ug < 0 for all values of r because positive work is needed reach Ug = 0
2. spring (elastic) potential energy, Us = ½kx2
a. Us = W to stretch the spring
b. see work by a variable force above
C. Conservation of Energy
1. work done on object A by a "nonconservative" force (push or pull, friction) results in the gain in mechanical energy for object A equal to the loss of energy by the source of the nonconservative force
2. work done on object A by a "conservative" force (gravity, spring) results in the change in form of mechanical energy (U K) for object A, but no loss in energy
a. conservative forces (Fg and Fs)
1. Fg d : Ug K, Fg d : K Ug
2. Fs d : Us K, Fs d : K Us
b. process isn't 100 % efficient
1. friction (W = Ffd) reduces mechanical energy
2. mechanical energy is converted into random kinetic energy of the object's atoms and the temperature increases = heat energy—Q
3. total energy is still conserved
3. work done by object A on object B
a. W = mAad (uses up kinetic energy to decelerate)
b. energy loss by object A = energy gain by object B
c. some energy is lost due to friction

5. elastic collision formula proof (p and K are conserved)
½mA(vA2 - vA'2) = ½mB(vB'2 - vB2) (vA2 - vA'2) = (vB'2 - vB2)
mA(vA – vA') = mB(vB' – vB) (vA – vA') = (vB' – vB)
(vA – vA')(vA + vA') = (vB – vB')(vB + vB') vA - vB = -(vA' - vB')
(vA – vA') = (vB' – vB)
|
6. solving conservation of energy problems
determine initial energy of the object, Eo
if elevated h distance: Ug = mgh
if accelerated to v velocity: K = ½mv2
if spring compressed x distance: Us = ½kx2
determine energy added/subtracted due to an external push or pull: Wp = ±F||d
determine energy removed from the object by friction: Wf = Ffd = (mgcosd
d is the distance traveled
is the angle of incline (0o for horizontal)
determine resulting energy, E' = Eo ± Wp – Wf
determine d, h, x or v
if slides a distance d: 0 = Eo ± Wp – mgcosd'
if elevates a height h: E' = mgh'
If compresses a spring x: Us: E' = ½kx'2
if accelerated to velocity v: E' = ½mv'2
general equation (not all terms apply for each problem)
K + Ug + Us ± Wp – Wf = K' + Ug' + Us''
½mv2 + mgh + ½kx2 ± Fpd – Ffd = ½mv'2 + mgh' + ½kx'2
|
7. solve ballistics problems
|
M
(vM = 0)
m vm
bullet collides inelastically with block: mvm = (M + m)v'
block swings or slides (conservation of energy)
block swings like a pendulum to height h
K = Ug ½(M + m)v'2 = (M + m)gh h = v'2/2g
block slides a distance d along a rough surface
K = Wf ½(M + m)v'2 = (M + m)gd d = v'2/2g
