Physics Chapter 5
Work and Energy
WorkWork - (if force is constant) – is the product of the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.W = F||d
Work is a scalar quantity and can be positive or negative, but you don’t have to indicate direction/angle in your answer.
Unit is Joule (N•m)The object must MOVE in the DIRECTION
(positive or negative) that the force is exerted on THE OBJECT.Holding a flag in the air (no work on the flag)Walking forward while holding the flag in the
air (no work on flag)
Work and Direction of Force
If force is applied at an angle, then the work must be computed using the component of force in the direction of the motion.Ex: you are pushing a lawnmower…
Work and Direction of Force
Force (parallel to ground) doing work is FcosWork (W) = Fcosd= FdcosWork that the grass/lawn is doing on the

vacuum cleaner pulled 4.0 meters by a force of 45 N at an angle of 30.0 degrees above horizontal?
Here’s the equation: W = Fd = F cos d = Fdcos

Energy - an object has energy if it can produce a change in itself or its surroundings.
Kinetic Energy - energy due to the motion of an object.
KE = 1/2mv2
Kinetic Energy
Doing Work to Change Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy is related to the amount of work done on the object.Work done equals the KE
gained by the object.
Example pg. 173
A 7.0 kg bowling ball moves at 3.00m/s. How much kinetic energy does the bowling ball have? How fast must a 2.45 g ping pong ball move in order to have the same kinetic energy as the bowling ball?
Known, unknowns and formulas
mbb=7.0kg
Vbb=3.00m/s
mppb=2.45g = 0.00245kg
KEbb = 1/2mbbvbb2 = KEppb
= 1/2mppbvppb2
Solve for Kinetic Energy of Bowling Ball
KEbb = 1/2mbbvbb2 = (½(7.0kg)
(3.00m/s)2=
=31.5 J = 32J
Solve for vppb
KEbb = 32J = KEppb = 1/2mppbvppb2
vppb = 32J/(1/2mppb)
vppb = 32J/[(1/2)(0.00245kg)]
vppb =160m/s
Example 2
What is the speed of a 0.20 kg baseball that has a Kinetic Energy of 390Joules?
m= 0.20 kg, KE = 390J, v=?KE = ½ mv2 v= √2KE/mv= √2(390J/0.20kg) = 62m/s
Example 3What is the mass of a
satellite traveling at 92 km/h with a kinetic energy
of 240,000 J
KE = 240,000, v=92km/h?????92km/hX1000/3600=26m/sKE=1/2mv2 , m=2KE/v2 m=2(240,000J)/(26m/s)2 = 710kg

Effect of Doing Work
As positive work is done on an object (lifting a box), energy is transferred to that object (it can now fall and crush something).
As negative work is done on an object (lowering a box), energy is transferred from the object to the one lowering the box.
The Work-Energy TheoremThe net work done on an
object is equal to its change in kinetic energy.Wnet = KEf - KEi = KE
If the net work is positive, the kinetic energy increases.
If the net work is negative, the kinetic energy decreases.
Example
On a frozen pond, a person kicks a 10.0 kg sled, giving it an initial speed of 2.20 m/s. How far does the sled move if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ice is 0.10?
Known, unknowns and formulasms=10.0kg
Vs=2.20m/sk = 0.100KEf = 0Fnet = Fk…the only force working
once the sled is kicked, but it is NEGATIVE in direction!!
Fnet=-Fk=-k Fn = k mgWnet = -Fkd = KEf – KEi
-k mg d = -KEi = -1/2msvs2
Solve for d
d =-1/2msvs2 /-(k mg)=
-1/2(10.0kg)(2.20m/s)2/-(0.10)(10.0kg)(9.81m/s2)
=2.46mIt still travels a positive distance, but it
slows down as it is traveling so its change in kinetic energy, friction and acceleration are negative.
Practice 5C
Potential Energy - energy stored in an object because of its state or position.
Gravitational potential energy depends on an object’s position above a zero level.PEg = mghPEg = mghf - mghi = Work done
Potential energy can be stored in bent or stretched objects=Elastic Potential Energy
PEelastic=1/2kx2
x = distance compressed or stretchedk = spring constant
g is positive for potential energy!
What is the Potential Energy of a 24.0 kg mass 7.5 m above the ground
PEg = mgh =
(24.0)(9.81)(7.5m) = 1.8X103 J
What is the Potential Energy of a spring
stretched 5.0 cm that has a spring constant of 79
N/m?PEE = ½ kx2 =
½ (79N/m)(.05m)2 = = 0.099J
Total Potential energy =Elastic Potential Energy + Gravitational Potential Energy
PETotal=1/2kx2 + mgh
ExampleA 70.0 kg stuntman is attached to
a bungee cord with an unstretched length of 15.0 m. He jumps off a bridge spanning a river from a height of 50.0 m. When he finally stops, the cord has a stretched length of 44.0 m. Treat the stuntman as a point mass, and disregard the weight of the bungee cord. Assuming the spring constant of the bungee cord is 71.8 N/m, what is the total potential energy relative to the water when the man stops falling?
Known, unknows and formulasms=70.0kg

Potential and Kinetic Energy
When a ball is thrown into the air, the kinetic energy you give the ball is transferred to potential energy and then back into the same amount of kinetic energy -- Total Energy is constant.ETOTAL = KET + PET
Mechanical Energy
Mechanical Energy (ME) is the sum of KE and ALL forms of PE associated with an object or group of objects.
ME = KE + PE
Law of Conservation of Energy
States that within a closed, isolated system, energy can change form, but the total amount of energy is constant.(Energy can be neither created nor destroyed).

Power
Work is not affected by the time it takes to perform it.
Power is the rate of doing work.P=Wnet/t = Fnet,||d/t OR P= Fnet,|| v
Remember… Wnet = KEF = maFriction/Resistance is a force that needs to be included in Fnet calculations
Units are in watts (W)One Watt = 1 Joule/secondKilowatt = 1000 watts

Example 3. A 1.2 x 103 kg elevator carries a maximum load of 900.0 kg. A constant frictional force of 5.0 x 103 N retards the elevator’s upward motion. What minimum power must the motor deliver to lift the fully loaded elevator at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s?
Hint: The key to this problem is to find the required net force required in the vertical
Fnet = Fw elevator + Fw load + Ffriction = g(me + ml) + Ff
Fnet = 9.81 m/s2(1.2 x 103 kg + 900.0 kg) + 5.0 x 103 N
Fnet = 25 601 N (without rounding)

Example 4
A 1450 kg car accelerates from rest to 5.60m/s in 5.00sec. If Fk is 560.0N, what is the power developed by the engine?
Given: m=1450kg, vi=0, vf=5.60m/s, t=5.00s, Fk=560.0N
Need: acceleration to determine net force (F=ma)! Then you need x (this is d) to find Work. Then you can calculate Power.
a=v/ t=5.60m/s/(5.00s)=1.12m/s2
**engine has to overcome friction(Fk) and cause acceleration (F=ma)
Fnet=Fk+ma=560.0N+(1450kg)X(1.12m/s2) = 2184N
**use an old formula to find xx=1/2(vi+vf)Xt= ½(0+5.60m/s)X5s = 14m
**Now find powerP=W/ t = Fnetd/ t = 2184NX14m/5.00sP=6115Watts = 6.115kW
