Conservaton o nergy The total energy o a system can change only by amounts o energy that are transerred nto or out o the system W mec th nt Ths s one o the great conservaton laws n nature! Other conservaton laws to ollow: Lnear Momentum Angular Momentum Charge Baryon Number
Law o Conservaton o nergy Count up the ntal energy n all o ts orms. K U nternal Count up the nal energy n all o ts orms. K U These two must be equal. K K U U nternal nternal nternal

Daly Quz, September 7, 4 A hydrogen atom wth knetc energy o 4 ev s approachng another hydrogen atom n ts ground state. The potental energy s shown to the rght. nlarge
Notce a Sprng potental? Ths potental wll be used n understandng molecular structure and condensed matter.
Sample Problem 8-33 Two atoms o masses M and m wth M>>m. Total energy > and <. Total energy >. m s unbound. It wll approach M untl r.75nm and then be repelled back to nnty. The knetc energy wll ncrease up to a maxmum at a separaton dstance o about r. nm Total energy <. m s bound to M and ther separaton oscllates between.5nm < r <.9 nm.
