or and or-energy Theorem or or s dened as the scalar product o orce and dsplacement. or s done when a non-zero net orce acts on a mong object. I a orce F moes an object oer a dstance d, wor can be ound by usng the ormula: F! " F! " d!!!! F " d I F and d are parallel, the wor s! F d cos".! Fd. I they are not parallel, then the wor s From ths ormula, one can conclude that or the wor to be done, the ollowng condtons must be met: # The object must moe (.e. d $ 0). A orce can be exerted on an object wth no wor done, e.g. pushng on a wall, holdng up 100 lb, etc. # I F and d are perpendcular, no wor s done (cos" = 0). For example, carryng somethng s not wor because the angle between the orce (upwards) and dsplacement (horzontal) s equal to 0. # The SI unt o wor s Joule (J), and 1 J = 1 N x 1 m. # I the angle between orce and dsplacement s less than 90 0, cos" >0, and the wor s poste. I 90 o <" < 180 o, cos" <0, and the wor s negate. Frcton always does negate wor because t always acts n the drecton opposte (180 o ) to the moton o the object. or ether changes the elocty o an object or counteracts the wor done by an opposng orce. For example, a car s mong at a constant speed, the engne does wor on the car to counteract the wor done by rcton n the opposte drecton. I an object s mong wth constant elocty, the net orce actng on t s zero. In ths case, the net amount o wor done on t must also be zero ( net =F net d).
Energy Energy s one o the most undamental concepts o Physcs. It s a ery abstract concept that does not hae a sngle denton. Energy s a characterstc o a system. Energy n a system ges t the capablty to perorm some operaton. hen wor s done on a system or by a system, the energy o the system changes. In other words, the system gans or loses energy through the process o wor. I poste wor s done, the system gans energy. I wor s negate, the system loses energy. I no wor s done, the total energy o the system does not change. There are many types o energy. Knetc energy (K or E ) s the energy o moton. It depends only upon the square o the speed and the mass o the object. K! 1 m or - Energy Theorem An object s mong wth an acceleraton a oer a dstance d. Then accordng to the ormula,! " a d : F!

or and or-energy Theorem 1. A box, ntally at rest, s pulled a dstance o 5 m across a loor by a horzontal orce o 3 N. At the end o the 5 m, the netc energy o the box s 87 J. a. hat was the net wor done on the box? Accordng to the or-energy theorem, the net wor done on the box s equal to the change n the netc energy. net! " E! 87J b. How much wor was done by the 3 N orce? = F d = (3 N)(5 m) = 115 J c. How much wor was done by rcton? The net wor s equal to the sum o the wor done by the appled orce and the wor done by the rcton. net = A + = net A =87 J 115 J = 8 J d. How much wor was done by the gratatonal orce? The gratatonal orce s perpendcular to the dsplacement. Thus, the gratatonal orce does no wor. g = 0 J.. Bll carres a 35 N pacage rom the ground up to the th loor o a 15 m hgh oce buldng. How much wor s done by Bll on the pacage? The orce Bll s applyng to the pacage s drected up. He must be applyng a orce drected up to the pacage that s equal to the pacage s weght. He s also mong up. Thereore, # = 0. F = 35 N d = 15 m =? = F d cos# = F d = (35 N)(15 m)(cos 0º) = 55 J
3. A 4 g brc sldes a dstance (d) o 5m along an cy slope o nclnaton angle o 30 o. The coecent o netc rcton s! = 0.0. hat wll be the speed o the brc at the end o the slope?

Note that cos(90 - ") = sn" (trgonometry), thereore, g = m g d sn ". Note that d sn" = h where h s the heght o the slope. Thus, the wor s equal to m g h. The normal orce encloses 90 o wth the dsplacement, so n = F n d cos(90 o ) = 0. The wor o the rcton s r = -!#F n #d = -! m g d#cos(").

5. Hooe s law states that F!" x. a. Fnd the wor requred to compress the sprng through a dstance x. Because the orce s not constant throughout the dstance moed, we need to ntegrate the product o the dstance and the orce to determne the wor.

Thus, Usprng! x.
Conserate Forces and Potental Energy Conserate Forces Denton: A orce s called conserate the wor t does on an object depends only on the ntal and nal postons o the object and s ndependent o the path taen between those postons. Graty s one such conserate orce. Near Earth s surace, the wor done by graty on an object o mass m depends only on the change n the object s heght h. In the case o conserate orces, we assgn a number--the potental energy, U--to each conguraton o the system. The zero leel o the potental energy s arbtrary; t can be assgned to any poston. I the place wth zero potental energy s chosen, the potental energy at any pont A s the wor done by the orce when the body moes rom the pont A to the pont 0 wth zero potental energy. So, U(A) = A0. The wor s addte. I the body moes rom A to B and then to pont 0, then! " B A0 AB 0, U ( A)! " U ( B) or! U ( A) # U ( B). AB AB Examples o Potental Energy The Gratatonal Potental Energy Graty s an example o a conserate orce. The wor done on an object o mass m when t s rased heght h at constant elocty by an external orce s mgh. U g = mgh s called the gratatonal potental energy o the object. The only physcally sgncant quantty s the change n potental energy, and not the absolute alue o the potental energy. For ths reason, n problem solng, we usually choose a conenent pont (table top leel, ground leel, sea leel, etc.) and set the potental energy at ths leel to be zero. All heghts are measured rom ths leel. Then, the object s below the zero leel, ts potental energy s negate. It s mportant to stress agan that only the change n potental energy s physcally sgncant. Gratatonal Potental Energy: U g = mgy Change n Gratatonal Potental Energy: $ U = U - U g g g o = mgh - mgh o
The Elastc Potental Energy Sprngs, rubber bands, and other sprngy objects also exert conserate orces. At relately small elongatons, the orce exerted by a sprng s proportonal to the amount x by whch the sprng has been stretched, Fspr! " x, (The - sgn ndcates that the orce s drected n the opposte drecton to the stretch.) s the constant o proportonalty and s called the sprng s sprng constant. Ths proportonalty between the orce F and the amount o stretchng (or compresson) x s nown as Hooe s Law. The wor done by a sprng wth a gen sprng constant depends only on x, so an assocated potental energy s U x x 1 spr ( )!. Note that x = 0 s at the equlbrum (unstretched) poston o the sprng. Nonconserate orces Unle conserate orces, the wor done by nonconserate orces depends on the path the object moes and not just on the ntal and nal ponts. Frcton s an example o a nonconserate orce. A nonconserate orce s oten called a dsspate orce.
