Work and Energy Work: Transfer of energy Quantitatively: The work W done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of displacement. W = (Fcos ) x = F x x Units: N m = Joule 1 calorie = 4.184 J Fcos F 1 Calorie = 4184 J = 1 kcal x MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 6
Non-constant force/angle W=(Fcos ) x: what if Fcos is not constant while covering x? x F Fcos Example: what if or F changes while pulling the block? Area= A=(Fcos ) x Fcos W= ( A)=total area x x x The work done is the area under the graph of Fcos vs x MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 7
Example 4 m A person drags a block over a floor with a force parallel to the floor. Force 4N 2N After 4 meters, the floor turns rough and instead of a force of 2N a force of 4N must be applied. 0 The force-distance diagram shows the situation. 4 8 m distance How much work did the person do over 8 meter? a) 0 J b) 16 J c) 20 J d) 24 J e) 32 J Work: area under F-x diagram: 4x2 + 4x4 = 24 J MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 8
Work and Energy Positive work is done when the angle is less than 90 degrees, energy goes into the object 1) energy can be stored (potential energy increases) 2) motion can be created (kinetic energy increases) MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 9
Work and Energy Negative work when the angle between the force and the displacement is more the 90 degrees, energy is removed: 1) stored energy can be decreased (potential energy decreases) 2) motion can be reduced (kinetic energy decreases) Special case for friction force, the angle is 180 degrees; potential or kinetic energy is removed and heat is created No work when the angle between the force and the displacement is equal to 90 degrees MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 10
Work and Energy Sled is pulled across a surface at constant speed. Where does the energy go in this case? Answer: two forces are acting; the energy goes into friction (the ground/sled heat up!) MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 11
Clicker Question: Tension and Work A ball tied to a string is being whirled around in a circle. What can you say about the work done by tension? a) tension does no work at all b) tension does negative work c) tension does positive work No work is done because the force acts in a perpendicular direction to the displacement. Using the definition of work W = F (Δs) cos because = 90 º, then W = 0. T v MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 12
Power: The rate of energy transfer Work (the amount of energy transfer) is independent of time. W=(Fcos ) x total over all time To measure how fast we transfer the energy we define: Power = P = (Work/time) = (W/ t) (J/s=Watt) P = (Fcos ) x/ t = (Fcos ) v average 1 Watt = 0.00134 horsepower MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 13
A Runner While running, a person dissipates about 0.60 J of mechanical energy per step per kg of body mass. A) If a 60 kg person develops a power of 70 Watt during a race (distance = L), how fast is she running (1 step=1.5 m)? B) What is the force the person exerts on the road? W=F x P=W/ t=fv A) Work per step: (0.60 J/kg) (60 kg) = 36 J Work during race: (36 J) [( L ) / ( step-length )] = (36 J) ( L) / (1.5 m) = (24L) J/m Power = W/ t = 24 L/ t = 24 v = 70 Watts v =2.9 m/s B) F=P/v so F=24 N MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 14

Conservative Forces A force is conservative if the work done by the force when Moving an object from A to B does not depend on the path taken from A to B. Example: work done by gravitational force Using the stairs: W g = mgh f -mgh i = mg(h f -h i ) h=10m Using the elevator: W g = mgh f -mgh i = mg(h f -h i ) The path taken (longer or shorter) does not matter: only the displacement does!

Non-Conservative Forces A force is non-conservative if the work done by the force when moving an object from A to B depends on the path taken from A to B. object on rough surface top view Example: Friction You have to perform more work against friction if you take the long path, compared to the short path. The friction force changes kinetic energy into heat. (In this example difference forces are applied so that the KE is the same at the end.) MSU Physics 231 Fall 2015 33
