Work, Energy, and Power Chapter 6 of Essential University Physics, Richard Wolfson, 3 rd Edition 1
With the knowledge we got so far, we can handle the situation on the left but not the one on the right. 2
Main Goal: We will learn that: Work done by the net force acting on an object determines the exact change in the object s Kinetic Energy. 3
Work WW FF xx FF xx xx WW = NN mm JJ 4
Force and Displacement 5
Example 6.1 WW = FF xx xx FF xx = 650 NN xx = 4.3 mm 6
Example 6.2 WW = FF xx xx FF xx = FF cccccc θθ FF = 60 NN θθ = 35 xx = 45 mm 7
Force and Displacement are actually vectors!! 8
Definition of Scalar (Dot, Inner) Product of Two Vectors: AA. BB AA BB cccccc θθ P1: AA. BB = BB. AA P2: AA. BB + CC = AA. BB + AA. CC 9
AA.? BB + CC = AA. BB + AA. CC CC BB BB + CC AA AA. BB + CC AA. BB AA. CC 10
AA = AA xx ii + AA yy jj + AA zz kk BB = BB xx ii + BB yy jj + BB zz kk AA. BB = AA xx ii + AA yy jj + AA zz kk. BB xx ii + BB yy jj + BB zz kk = AA xx BB xx + AA yy BB yy + AA zz BB zz 11
As Force and Displacement are vectors, Work is better defined by: FF = FF xx ii + FF yy jj + FF zz kk FF θθ rr rr = xx ii + yy jj + zz kk WW FF. rr = FF rr cccccc θθ = FF xx xx + FF yy yy + FF zz zz 12
Example 6.3 FF = 1.2 ii + 2.3 jj MMMM θθ rr = 380 ii + 460 jj mm WW =?? θθ =?? 13

Two objects are each displaced the same distance, one by a force F pushing in the direction of motion and the other by a force 2F pushing at 45 to the direction of motion. Which force does more work? a) F b) 2F c) they do equal work 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Two objects are each displaced the same distance, one by a force F pushing in the direction of motion and the other by a force 2F pushing at 45 to the direction of motion. Which force does more work? a) F b) 2F c) they do equal work 2F does 2 more work than F does. That's because 2F's component along the direction of motion is 2F cos 45, or 2F 2/2 = F 2. 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Let go back to the 1D scenario: (just to make the notation simpler for the time being) WW FF xx xx 17
How do we calculate Work when the force is not constant along the path? 18
WW xx ii = FF xx xx ii xx xx xx 2 xx 1 NN NN NN WW xx ii = FF xx xx ii xx ii=1 ii=1 lim xx 0 ii=1 WW xx ii = xx 2FFxx WW = xx dddd xx 1 19
Stretching a Spring: FF ssssssssssss, xx xx = kk xx FF xx xx = + kk xx 20
What is the Work that needs to be done to stretch a spring: xx 2FFxx WW = xx dddd xx 1 FF xx xx = + kk xx xx 1 = 0 xx 2 = xx xx 2kk = xx dddd xx 1 = 1 2 xx2 xx = xx 2 = xx xx = xx 1 = 0 = 1 2 xx2 1 2 02 = 1 2 xx2 21
FF xx xx = + kk xx WW = 1 2 kk xx2 22
Example 6.4 xx ii = 11 mm xx ff = 22 mm xx = xx ff xx ii = 11 mm kk = 250 NN/mm FF xx xx = kk xx xx 2FFxx WW = xx dddd = 1 xx 1 2 kk xx2 23

Three forces have magnitudes in newtons that are numerically equal to these quantities: (a) x, (b) x 2, and (c) x, where x is the position in meters. Each force acts on an object as it moves from x = 0 to x = 1 m. Notice that all three forces have the same values at the two endpoints namely, 0 N and 1 N. Which of the forces (a), (b), or (c) does the most work? a) x b) x 2 c) x 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

You can see this by plotting these two functions from x = 0 to x = 1 and comparing the areas under each. The case of x is intermediate. 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
