Unit 08 Work and Kinetic Energy Today s Concepts: Work & Kinetic Energy Work in a non-constant direction Work by springs Mechanics Lecture 7, Slide 1 Stuff you asked about: Can we go over the falling, sliding, and swinging question? I would like to see some examples in class on work. Not sure if i fully grasp the concept could you go over bridge question 3 More spring examples please Please go over more problems in class. I am not sure when to use which equation because the prelecture listed a lot of them. I need more help with understanding how the angle gets incorporated when solving these problems. I also did not understand the work on the box in the truck problem. I would like to go over Potential Energy (U); where Wc = Ui-Uf = -(Uf-Ui) = -delta U The difference between work and net work. more example problems Please explain the first bridge question! Please review the Work Done on Spring equation along with an example I do not feel confident on any of the prelecture topics. Please go over all of them! more practice problems with the spring please Review Bridge question one. Can we go over the skier problem from the prelecture Mechanics Lecture 7, Slide 2 1

Bridge Question A hockey player does work on a hockey puck in order to propel it from rest across the ice. When a constant force is applied over a certain distance, the puck leaves his stick at speed v. If instead he wants the puck to leave with a speed 2v, by what factor must he increase the distance over which he applies the same force. A) 2 B) 2 C) 2 2 D) 4 E) 8 Bridge Question If instead he wants the puck to leave with a speed 2v, by what factor must he increase the distance over which he applies the same force. A) 2 I believe it would be half of the distance because it would then travel twice the speed. B) 2 W=Fd, so the distance would need to be multiplied by 2 to double the speed. C) 2 2 the velocity is squared. D) 4 Kinetic energy is proportional to V(squared), therefore to go twice the velocity (2v), you would need to go four times the distance (4d). E) 8 5
the whole pre-lecture was confusing. the apple has zero kinetic energy and thus 0 work because it started and stopped at rest; however a ball that is dropped does have work, when it too starts and stops at rest??? makes no sense The fact that work can be zero after something moves can be confusing. Mechanics Lecture 5, Slide 11 As the student lifted the apple, what kind of work did the student do on the apple? As the student lifted the apple, what kind of work did gravity do on the apple? A. Positive B. Negative C. zero As the student lifted the apple, what total work done on the apple? (Note that the term potential energy was not used.) Mechanics Lecture 5, Slide 12 6

You push two boxes along a straight line from one side of a room to the other. Each box begins and ends at rest. The contact surfaces and areas between box and floor are the same for both, but one box is heavy and the other is light. Which of the following statements is correct? a) You do more work on the heavy box, and more net work is done on the heavy box. b) You do more work on the heavy box, but the net work done on both boxes is equal. c) You do the same amount of work on both boxes, and the same amount of net work is done on both boxes. d) You do more work on the light box, but more net work is done on the heavy box. e) You do the same amount of work on both boxes, but more net work is done on the heavy box. Mechanics Lecture 7, Slide 17 Question A box sits on the horizontal bed of a moving truck. Static friction between the box and the truck keeps the box from sliding around as the truck drives forward. a m S The work done on the box by the static frictional force as the truck moves a distance D to the left is: A) Positive B) Zero C) Negative Mechanics Lecture 7, Slide 18 9
Question a F m S D The work done on the box by the static frictional force as the truck moves a distance D is: A) Positive B) Zero C) Negative A) The box is moving along with the force of friction. The force and motion are in the same direction. B) Because there is no displacement there is no work. C) The static friction force must go the same direction as the acceleration. With that, the force and the distance are parallel to each other and the angle is 180 degrees, meaning that the work is less than zero.

You are loading boxes so that they come to rest on to a truck and can use one of two methods. In the first method, the boxes are lifted directly on to the back of the truck. In the second method, the boxes are slid up a ramp at an angle q with rollers on it, which we can assume are frictionless, coming to rest in the truck. Using the physics definition how does the work done by you in the two methods compare? 1 2 1. W 1 > W 2 2. W 1 = W 2 3.

Question you asked I am confused about the positive work and negative work and also the positive and negative forces for the spring problems. Easiest Method: 1) Use the formula to get the magnitude of the work 2) Use a picture to get the sign (look at directions) In this example the spring does ve work since F and Dx are in opposite direction. The axes don t matter. Physics 211 Lecture 7, Slide 31 Question A box attached at rest to a spring at its equilibrium length.

Example 8.7 (Box on Spring) 10cm 40cm A 20kg box is placed gently on a vertical spring which compresses it 10cm. I then compress the spring an additional 40cm with my hand.

Example 8.8 (Skier) 25 o 3.5m A 60kg skier starts from rest and goes down a 10.4m long 25 o slope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is m k =0.2. At the end of the slope, he flies off a 3.5m high cliff. What is his velocity just before he connects with the snow at the bottom of the cliff and skis coolly off for a hot chocolate? Mechanics Lecture 8, Slide 37 The Physics Donkey Because you re tired of hauling your TI-83 all over campus, you decide to bring your donkey and cart with you to COD. After physics class, you load all your books and stuff into the cart and tell the donkey to head off to Calc III. But the donkey replies (it s a talking physics donkey) There s no point in me trying. According to Newton s 3 rd Law, no matter how hard I pull on the cart, the cart will pull back on me with an equal and opposite force. The two forces add up to zero and the cart won t accelerate. Since the cart isn t moving now, and a=0, it will never move. The donkey lays down and takes a nap. Mechanics Lecture 5, Slide 38 19
Question Why is the physics donkey wrong? A. Because the donkey is less massive so the force of the donkey on the cart is always greater than the force of the cart on the donkey. B. Because the force of the donkey on the cart is greater than the force of the cart on the donkey for the brief instant of time when the donkey takes his first step. C. The donkey is correct that the forces are the same, but it doesn t matter in this case. D. Because the cart is more massive so the force of gravity is greater on the cart than on the donkey. E. The donkey is correct and the cart can not accelerate without an additional push. Mechanics Lecture 5, Slide 39 20
