Energy approach: Net work = increase in kinetic energy
- acceleration at any instant is caused by forces
- equivalent to Newton’s dynamics- scalars, not vectors - compares energies “before and after”

Units : N • m = joule (J)
Work = (component of F parallel to motion) x (distance)
We can be write this as:
This is the “scalar product”, or “dot product”. Work is a scalar.If work is done on a system, W is positive (eg: lifting an object)If work is done by a system, W is negative (eg: object falling)
Work = F • d = Fdcos(θ)

Example: How much work is done to stretch a spring scale from zero to the 20-N mark (a distance of 10 cm)?We can’t just multiply “force times distance” because the force changes during the motion. Our definition of “work” is not complete.
Forces which are not constant:
ixfx
Varying force: split displacement into short segments over which F is nearly constant.
F(x)

FFor each small displacement x, the work done is approximately F(x) x, which is the area of the rectangle.

We get the total work by adding up the work done in all the small steps. As we let x become small, this becomes the area under the curve, and the sum becomes an integral.

An Ideal Spring
Hooke’s Law: The tension in a spring is proportional to the distance stretched.
or, F = kx
The spring constant k has units of N/m
Directions: The force exerted by the spring when it is stretched in the +x direction is opposite the direction of the stretch (it is a restoring force):
F = -kx and E=½kx2
Physics 1D03 - Lecture 19
Example:
Show that for a spring, E= ½ kx2.

A spring is hanging vertically. A student attaches a 0.100-kg mass to the end, and releases it from rest. The mass falls 50 cm, stretching the spring, before stopping and bouncing back.During the 50-cm descent, the total work done on the mass was:
a) zerob) 0.49 Jc) -0.49 Jd) none of the above

A physicist uses a spring cannon to shoot a ball at a gorilla. The cannon is loaded by compressing the spring 20 cm. The first 10 cm of compression requires work W. The work required for the next 10 cm (to increase the compression from 10 cm to 20 cm) would be:
a) Wb) 2Wc) 3Wd) 4W
