The force exerted by the catcher is opposite in direction to the displacement of the ball, so the work is negative. Or using the definition of work (W = F d cosθ), since θ = 180 o, then W < 0. Note that because the work done on the ball is negative, its speed decreases. Follow-up: What about the work done by the ball on the catcher? 55/91

ConcepTest 6.7 Work and KE A child on a skateboard is moving at a speed of 2 m/s. After a force acts on the child, her speed is 3 m/s. What can you say about the work done by the external force on the child? 1) positive work was done 2) negative work was done 3) zero work was done The kinetic energy of the child increased because her speed increased. This increase in KE was the result of positive work being done. Or, from the definition of work, since W = KE = KE f KE i and we know that KE f > KE in i this case, then the work W must be positive.

ConcepTest 6.8b Speeding Up I A car starts from rest and accelerates to 30 mph. Later, it gets on a highway and accelerates to 60 mph. Which takes more energy, the 0 30 mph, or the 30 60 mph? 1) 0 30 mph 2) 30 60 mph 3) both the same 64/91

ConcepTest 6.8b Speeding Up I A car starts from rest and accelerates to 30 mph. Later, it gets on a highway and accelerates to 60 mph. Which takes more energy, the 0 30 mph, or the 30 60 mph? 1) 0 30 mph 2) 30 60 mph 3) both the same The change in KE (1/2 mv 2 ) involves the velocity squared. So in the first case, we have: 1/2 m (30 2-0 2 ) = 1/2 m (900) In the second case, we have: 1/2 m (60 2-30 2 ) = 1/2 m (2700) Thus, the bigger energy change occurs in the second case.

Thus, the ball s initial KE must be 4 times greater in order to just reach the hole this requires an increase in the initial speed by a factor of 2, 2 since KE = 1/2 mv 2. 67/91

ConcepTest 6.2a Friction and Work I A box is being pulled across a rough floor at a constant speed. What can you say about the work done by friction? 1) friction does no work at all 2) friction does negative work 3) friction does positive work 68/91

How much more potential energy would you gain if you take the longer path? 1) the same 2) twice as much 3) four times as much 4) half as much 5) you gain no PE in either case Since your vertical position (height) changes by the same amount in each case, the gain in potential energy is the same. Follow-up: How much more work do you do in taking the steeper path? Follow-up: Which path would you rather take? Why? 79/91

ConcepTest 6.14 Elastic Potential Energy How does the work required to stretch a spring 2 cm compare with the work required to stretch it 1 cm? 1) same amount of work 2) twice the work 3) 4 times the work 4) 8 times the work 80/91

ConcepTest 6.14 Elastic Potential Energy How does the work required to stretch a spring 2 cm compare with the work required to stretch it 1 cm? 1) same amount of work 2) twice the work 3) 4 times the work 4) 8 times the work The elastic potential energy is 1/2 kx 2. So in the second case, the elastic PE is 4 times greater than in the first case. Thus, the work required to stretch the spring is also 4 times greater. 81/91

ConcepTest 6.15 Springs and Gravity A mass attached to a vertical spring causes the spring to stretch and the mass to move downwards. What can you say about the spring s potential energy (PE s ) and the gravitational potential energy (PE g ) of the mass? 1) both PE s and PE g decrease 2) PE s increases and PE g decreases 3) both PE s and PE g increase 4) PE s decreases and PE g increases 5) PE s increases and PE g is constant 82/91

ConcepTest 6.15 Springs and Gravity A mass attached to a vertical spring causes the spring to stretch and the mass to move downwards. What can you say about the spring s potential energy (PE s ) and the gravitational potential energy (PE g ) of the mass? 1) both PE s and PE g decrease 2) PE s increases and PE g decreases 3) both PE s and PE g increase 4) PE s decreases and PE g increases 5) PE s increases and PE g is constant The spring is stretched, so its elastic PE increases, since PE s = 1/2 kx 2. The mass moves down to a lower position, so its gravitational PE decreases, since PE g = mgh. 83/91

ConcepTest 6.16 Down the Hill Three balls of equal mass start from rest and roll down different ramps. All ramps have the same height. Which ball has the greater speed at the bottom of its ramp? 1 2 3 4) same speed for all balls 84/91

ConcepTest 6.16 Down the Hill Three balls of equal mass start from rest and roll down different ramps. All ramps have the same height. Which ball has the greater speed at the bottom of its ramp? 1 2 3 4) same speed for all balls All of the balls have the same initial gravitational PE, since they are all at the same height (PE = mgh). Thus, when they get to the bottom, they all have the same final KE, and hence the same speed (KE = 1/2 mv 2 ). Follow-up: Which ball takes longer to get down the ramp? 85/91

ConcepTest 6.17a Runaway Truck A truck, initially at rest, rolls down a frictionless hill and attains a speed of 20 m/s at the bottom. To achieve a speed of 40 m/s at the bottom, how many times higher must the hill be? 1) half the height 2) the same height 3) 2 times the height 4) twice the height 5) four times the height 86/91

To achieve a speed of 40 m/s at the bottom, how many times higher must the hill be? 1) half the height 2) the same height 3) 2 times the height 4) twice the height 5) four times the height Use energy conservation: initial energy: E i = PE g = mgh final energy: E f = KE = 1/2 mv 2 Conservation of Energy: E i = mgh = E f = 1/2 mv 2 therefore: gh = 1/2 v 2 So if v doubles, H quadruples! 87/91

ConcepTest 6.21a Time for Work I Mike applied 10 N of force over 3 m in 10 seconds. Joe applied the same force over the same distance in 1 minute. Who did more work? 1) Mike 2) Joe 3) both did the same work 88/91

ConcepTest 6.21a Time for Work I Mike applied 10 N of force over 3 m in 10 seconds. Joe applied the same force over the same distance in 1 minute. Who did more work? 1) Mike 2) Joe 3) both did the same work Both exerted the same force over the same displacement. Therefore, both did the same amount of work. Time does not matter for determining the work done. 89/91

ConcepTest 6.21b Time for Work II Mike performed 5 J of work in 10 secs. Joe did 3 J of work in 5 secs. Who produced the greater power? 1) Mike produced more power 2) Joe produced more power 3) both produced the same amount of power 90/91

ConcepTest 6.21b Time for Work II Mike performed 5 J of work in 10 secs. Joe did 3 J of work in 5 secs. Who produced the greater power? 1) Mike produced more power 2) Joe produced more power 3) both produced the same amount of power Since power = work / time, we see that Mike produced 0.5 W and Joe produced 0.6 W of power. Thus, even though Mike did more work, he required twice the time to do the work, and therefore his power output was lower. 91/91
