Introducton to Energy The concept of energy s one of the most mportant topcs n scence and engneerng Every physcal process that occurs n the Unverse nvolves energy and energy transfers or transformatons Energy s not easly defned Energy Approach to Problems The energy approach to descrbng moton s partcularly useful when Newton s Laws are dffcult or mpossble to use An approach wll nvolve changng from a partcle model to a system model Ths can be etended to bologcal organsms, technologcal systems and engneerng stuatons Systems A system s a small porton of the Unverse We wll gnore the detals of the rest of the Unverse A crtcal skll s to dentfy the system Vald System Eamples A vald system may be a sngle object or partcle be a collecton of objects or partcles be a regon of space vary n sze and shape 1
Work The work, W, done on a system by an agent eertng a constant force on the system s the product of the magntude F of the force, the magntude r of the dsplacement of the pont of applcaton of the force, and cos where s the angle between the force and the dsplacement vectors Work, cont. W = F r cos The dsplacement s that of the pont of applcaton of the force A force does no work on the object f the force does not move through a dsplacement The work done by a force on a movng object s zero when the force appled s perpendcular to the dsplacement of ts pont of applcaton Work Eample The normal force and the gravtatonal force do no work on the object cos = cos 90 = 0 The force F s the only force that does work on the object More About Work The system and the agent n the envronment dong the work must both be determned The part of the envronment nteractng drectly wth the system does work on the system Work by the envronment on the system Eample: Work done by a hammer (nteracton from envronment) on a nal (system) The sgn of the work depends on the drecton of the force relatve to the dsplacement Work s postve when projecton of F onto r s n the same drecton as the dsplacement Work s negatve when the projecton s n the opposte drecton Unts of Work Work s a scalar quantty The unt of work s a joule (J) 1 joule = 1 newton. 1 meter J = N m Work Is An Energy Transfer Ths s mportant for a system approach to solvng a problem If the work s done on a system and t s postve, energy s transferred to the system If the work done on the system s negatve, energy s transferred from the system 2
Work Is An Energy Transfer, cont If a system nteracts wth ts envronment, ths nteracton can be descrbed as a transfer of energy across the system boundary Ths wll result n a change n the amount of energy stored n the system Clcker Queston Assumng that the earth s movng around the sun wth a unform crcular moton. The work done by the gravtaton force on earth s: A. Postve B. Negatve C. Zero D. Impossble to determne Scalar Product of Two Vectors The scalar product of two vectors s wrtten as AB It s also called the dot product AB A B cos s the angle between A and B Appled to work, ths means W Frcos Fr Scalar Product, cont The scalar product s commutatve A B B A The scalar product obeys the dstrbutve law of multplcaton A BC A BA C Dot Products of Unt Vectors ˆˆ ˆˆ ˆ ˆ jjkk1 jˆˆ kˆˆ jk0 Usng component form wth vectors: A A ˆ ˆ ˆ Ayj Azk BB ˆ ˆj kˆ By Bz AB A B A B A B y y z z Work Done by a Varyng Force Assume that durng a very small dsplacement,, F s constant For that dsplacement, W ~ F For all of the ntervals, f W F 3

If the system cannot be modeled as a partcle, then the total work s equal to the algebrac sum of the work done by the ndvdual forces W net W by ndvdual forces Remember work s a scalar, so ths s the algebrac sum Work Done By A Sprng A model of a common physcal system for whch the force vares wth poston The block s on a horzontal, frctonless surface Observe the moton of the block wth varous values of the sprng constant Hooke s Law The force eerted by the sprng s F s = - k s the poston of the block wth respect to the equlbrum poston ( = 0) k s called the sprng constant or force constant and measures the stffness of the sprng Ths s called Hooke s Law Hooke s Law, cont. When s postve (sprng s stretched), F s negatve When s 0 (at the equlbrum poston), F s 0 When s negatve (sprng s compressed), F s postve 4
Hooke s Law, fnal The force eerted by the sprng s always drected opposte to the dsplacement from equlbrum The sprng force s sometmes called the restorng force If the block s released t wll oscllate back and forth between and Clcker Queston The work done by a sprng to be compressed from =0 to =a s: W 0 = -ka 2 /2.
