5. 2 Kinetic Energy and the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem d F Vi F Vf = V Given Wnet we can solve for an object’s change in velocity
d F vi Wnet = F d Wnet = (m a) d Wnet = m (v 2 - vi 2) / 2 Wnet = 1/2 m v 2 - 1/2 m vi 2 F vf = v v 2 = vi 2 + 2 a d = (v 2 - vi 2) / 2 Kinetic Energy = KE = (1/2) m v 2 Wnet = KEf – KEi = delta KE
5. 2 Kinetic Energy and the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem Objects with KE can do work on other objects The more KE object A has, the more work it can do on object B Remember, b/c Newton’s 3 rd law, when object A does work on object B, object B also does work on object A
Checking for comprehension Two football players are going to sack the QB. Player 1 has a mass of m and has a velocity of v. Player 2 has a mass of ½ m and has a velocity of 2 v. Who is more likely to cause serious injuries to the QB? Why? Ans: the less massive guy b/c…. He has more KE
Example Problem: A 1400 kg car has a net forward force of 4500 N applied to it. The car starts from rest and travels down a horizontal highway. What are its kinetic energy and speed after it has traveled 100 m? (Ignore the losses in KE because of friction and air resistance. ) Solve using Work-KE theorem and kinematic equations
5. 3 Potential Energy Objects with KE can do work on another object What about objects sitting still? They have the potential to do work Therefore they have potential energy
5. 3 Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy: the energy that an object has as a result of its position PE = mgh Wg = mghi - mghf Wg = PEi – PEf = - delta PE
1 kg 1 m 1 m Mr Gener: “What is the PE of the block? ” You: “Depends… Where does h = 0? ” Because location of h = 0 point is arbitrary, we need only to concern ourselves with the difference in PE between two locations
Example: A 60. 0 kg round guy is at the top of a slope. At the initial point A the round guy is 10. 0 m vertically above point B. a) Setting h = 0 at B, solve for the PE of the guy at A then B and then find the difference b) Setting h = 0 at A, solve for the PE of the guy at A then B and then find the difference Ans: delta PE = 5880 J. . Regardless of where h = 0

5. 4 Conservative and Nonconservative Forces Conservative force: the work it does on a object moving between two points is independent of the path the object takes between the two points Example: gravity A force is nonconservative if it leads to the dissipation of KE or PE (mechanical energy) Example: friction
5. 5 Conservation of Mechanical Energy The total mechanical energy in any isolated system remains constant if the objects interact only through conservative forces Wnet = Wc = Wg = PEi - PEf Wnet = KEf - KEi = PEi - PEf KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf ½ mvi 2 + mghi = ½ mvf 2 + mghf
Checking for comprehension: Block 1 2 vi Block 2 v i h h Two blocks, of the same mass, are 2 h above the ground. Block 1 has an initial velocity of 2 vi downward and block 2 has an initial velocity of vi upward a) Which block has more mechanical energy? 1 b) How would your answer change if block 1 started off only h above the ground? Not enough info
Example 5. 5: A sled and its rider together weight 800 N. They move down a frictionless hill through a distance of 10. 0 m. Assuming the initial speed of the rider-sled system is 5. 00 m/s down the hill, solve for the speed of the rider-sled system at the bottom of the hill? vi = 5. 00 m/s 10 m

5. 6 Nonconservative Forces and the Work-KE Theorem Remember Wnet = KEf - KEi Wnet = Wc+Wnc = KEf - KEi Wc = PEi - PEf Therefore: Wnc = KEf – KEi – (PEi – PEf) Wnc = (KEf + PEf) – (KEi + PEi)
5. 6 Nonconservative Forces and the Work-KE Theorem Wnc = (KEf + PEf) – (KEi + PEi) The work done by all nonconservative forces equals the change in the mechanical energy of the system The mechanical energy lost from the system is transformed into another form of energy such as sound, light or heat
Example Problem: A 3. 00 kg create slides down a ramp. The ramp is 1. 00 m long and inclined at an angle of 30. 0 o. The crate starts from rest at the top of the ramp, experiences a constant frictional force of magnitude 5. 00 N, and continues to move a short distance on the flat floor. Use energy methods to determine the speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. What happened to the energy lost due 1 m to friction? 30 o
Things to remember: ΣW = (F d) if F and d are parallel KE = ½ mv 2 PE = mgh For conservative forces: KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf Wnet = Wc + Wnc = ½ mvf 2 - ½ mvi 2 If mechanical energy is lost, the lost energy must have been transformed into another form of energy such as heat, sound or light
5. 8 Power is defined as the time rate of energy transfer Powerave = W / (Δt) = (F Δx) / Δt = F (Δx / Δt) =Fv Units for Power is J/s or watts
Example problem: An elevator of mass M carries a max load of mass m. A constant frictional force of Ff retards its motions upwards. What is the minimum power that the motor must deliver to lift the fully loaded elevator at a constant speed of v? a = 0 m/s 2 Ft – Ff – (M+m)g = 0 Ft v mg Ff Ft = Ff + (M+m)g P = F v = Ft v = [Ff + (M+m)g]v
