4 Conservative Forces and Potential Energy In general, for a conservative force F the particle might move along an arbitrary path s: U = F dr s and 1 F = U where: U = x U i + y U j + z U k 1 If you are not yet familiar with this vector calculus notation, you will not need it for this course.

5 Energy Diagrams Potential can be plotted as a function of position. eg. potential of200 a spring: Chapter 7 Energy of a System U s a 1 U 2 kx 2 s x max 0U s 1 2 a kx 2 U s The restoring force exerted by the spring always acts toward x 0, x the x position max of stable 0 equilibrium.

Chapter 7 Energy of a System 1 U 2 kx 2 s U s E function for plotted versus x in F exerted by the spring a x max 0 x max The restoring force exerted by the spring always acts toward x 0, the position of stable equilibrium. x As we saw in Quick tive of the slope of equilibrium position some external force equilibrium, x is po exerted by the spring released. If the exter negative; therefore, F release. In this case, the force is always back toward the x = 0 point, so this is a stable equilibrium. Examples: spring force ball inside a bowl

For any finite displacent of the particle, the force on e particle is directed away from 0. U Positive slope Negative slope x 0 x 0 x 0 In this case, the force is always away from the x = 0 point, so this is a unstable equilibrium. Examples: the L1 Lagrange point between the Sun and Earth ball on upside-down a bowl

8 Neutral Equilibrium A system can also be in neutral equilibrium. In this case, no forces act, even when the system is displaced left or right. Example: ball on a flat surface

Find the force that acts at the point (x, y). Page 208, # A single conservative force acting on a particle within a system varies as F S 5 12Ax 1 Bx 2 2i^, where A and B are constants, F S is in newtons, and x is in meters. (a) Calculate the potential function U(x) associated with this force for the system, taking U 5 0 at x 5 0. Find (b) the change in potential and (c) the change in kinetic of the system as the particle moves from x m to x m. 51. A single conservative force acts on a 5.00-kg particle M within a system due to its interaction with the rest of the system. The equation F x 5 2x 1 4 describes the force, where F x is in newtons and x is in meters. As the particle moves along the x axis from x m to x m, calculate (a) the work done by this force on the particle, (b) the change in the potential of the Q/C

15 Isolated and Nonisolated Systems Isolated systems do not exchange with the environment. Nonisolated systems do. Non-isolated systems can lose to the environment or gain from it. Note: in these lectures, I mean the system is isolated or not with respect to specifically.

19 Isolated Systems: No Energy Transfers For an isolated system: If we choose the system so that it does not have the internal degrees of freedom, then the internal can be neglected and is conserved. (It is a constant.) Or equivalently: E mech = K + U K + U = 0

20 Nonisolated Systems: Energy Transfer For a nonisolated system we can write: More explicitly: where E system = ( Etransfers ) K + U + E int = W + Q + T E int is the change in in internal degrees of freedom within the system (eg. molecular vibrations) W is work done on the system Q is heat transferred to the system T includes transfer by all of the other transfer mechanisms

21 Nonisolated System Special Case K + U + E int = W + Q + T Suppose U = E int = Q = T = 0. Or in other words, that work was done on a system, but the only change in the system was its speed, then:

22 Nonisolated System Special Case K + U + E int = W + Q + T Suppose U = E int = Q = T = 0. Or in other words, that work was done on a system, but the only change in the system was its speed, then: K = W The Work-Kinetic Energy theorem.

23 Nonisolated System Special Case K + U + E int = W + Q + T Suppose U = E int = Q = T = 0. Or in other words, that work was done on a system, but the only change in the system was its speed, then: K = W The Work-Kinetic Energy theorem. It can be viewed as a special case of conservation in a non-isolated system. Or it is the case all forces on a system are external forces.
