Conservation of Energy and Work

Principles of Physics - Foederer

Page 2: Principles of Physics - Foederer. All energy in existence is already here. It cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred among systems. So, E total

All energy in existence is already here. It cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred among systems. So, Etotal before transfer = Etotal after transfer

Conservation of Energy

Page 3: Principles of Physics - Foederer. All energy in existence is already here. It cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred among systems. So, E total

A 0.100kg egg is dropped from the top of the bleachers which are 5.5 m high. How fast was it travelling when it hit the ground if there was no air resistance?

Example

PE→KE

Since energy is conserved, PEtop = KEbottom

mgh =1/2 mv2

(0.100 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(5.5 m) = 1/2 (0.100 kg)v2

v = 10.4 m/s

How does energy change form or enter/leave a system? 

Work is done on an object or by an object

Work = change in energy a force is applied to the object to change its motion or

condition

W = Fd   W = work (J)

F = force (N)d = distance (m)

Work

**This force could be applied, friction, gravitational, etc. for the distance that it is causing the change

 Open system – energy can be transferred out of the system to another system.

Example A box slides down an incline. Its PE

changes to KE◦ There is less KE at the bottom of the incline than

there was PE at the top◦ Energy was lost as heat from friction as the box

slid

 

Energy is conserved

A car with mass 200 kg has a motor that supplies a force of 950 N. The car travels a distance of 6.3 m when the motor is turned on. During the 6.3 m distance 5, 557 J of work is done on the car by friction. What is the velocity of the car after travelling 6.3 m?

Example (Open system)

W→KE

Since energy is lost because of friction, Wmotor - Wfriction = KE

Fd – Wfriction=1/2 mv2

(950N)(6.3 m) – 5557 J= 1/2 (200 kg)v2

v = 2.1 m/s

Closed system – all energy stays within the system

Example The box slides down an incline with no

friction. Its entire PE changes to KE.

Energy is conserved

Work is done on system to raise bob to position A (W = Etotal)◦ Work is relative to its height at equilibrium (C)

 As pendulum is being raised, work energy is changing to PE 

When at position A all work is now PE (Etotal = PE)

 As pendulum swings from its initial position A and back again, PE changes to KE and back 

Etotal = PEA = PEB + KEB= KEC= PED + KED= PEE

Pendulum (Closed System)Excellent example of conservation of energy
