The biceps and triceps muscles in your arm work the same way: when you flex yourarm, the biceps muscle contracts as it releases its stored elastic potential energy; at thesame time, the triceps muscle is stretched, storing up elastic potential energy. The armextends by contracting the triceps muscle and releasing its stored energy; at the sametime, the biceps muscle is stretched, storing energy. The biceps and triceps muscleswork in tandem: one contracts, releasing energy to move the joint, while the other isstretched, storing energy. Every joint in your body moves in a similar way, usingopposing pairs of muscles that make force by contracting.

10.2 - Work and energy transformations

So far, we have considered the energy in a system before and after a change. However, energy can alsoenter or leave a system. Mechanical energy enters or leaves a system through work, the action of forces.Work done on a system increases the system's total energy. Work done by a system decreases thesystem's total energy. This section broadens the scope of conservation of energy to include work done onor by a system.

Work and energy

How doforces

change theenergy of a

system?

Recall that work is a form of energy. The work done by a force is the force multiplied by thedistance moved in the direction of the force. Consider a system containing an uncompressedspring at its free length. A force acts from outside the system to compress the spring adistance, x. The final energy of the system is the initial energy it started with plus the workdone on the system by the external force.

What if thesystem does

work?

Again, consider the system to consist only of the spring. If the spring is now used to launcha ball, the system does work on something outside the system: the ball. When a systemexerts a force that does work outside the system, then the final energy is the initial energyminus the work done by the system.

Work andconservation

of energy

If all forces act inside the system, then the total energy of the system remains constantbecause all the energy lost by one part of the system is gained by another part. If forces actoutside the system, then the energy of the system either increases when work is done on thesystem or decreases when the system does work on the outside environment.

Objective 1: A racecar is moving with a speed of 200 km/h on a circular section of a racetrack that has a radius of 300 m. The racecar and the driver have a mass of 800 kg. (in slide presentation)

a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration felt by the driver? answer: 10.3 m/s2 (1.0 g)

Objective 2: A racecar is moving with a speed of 200 km/h on a circular section of a racetrack that has a radius of 300 m. The racecar and the driver have a mass of 800 kg.

b) What is the centripetal force acting on the car? answer: 8240 N

Objective 3: In the case of a car rounding a turn as shown, what physical force is acting radially to keep the car moving in a circular path?

answer: Static friction between the tires and the road provides the centripetal force.

Prior knowledge

This lesson introduces centripetal force and centripetal acceleration. Students should be familiar with Newton’s 1st and 2nd laws of motion and with the variables used to describe circular motion.

Teach as if you spent days prepping each lesson.

Centripetal force Content The lesson begins by defining centripetal force. Students explore the relationships

between velocity, centripetal acceleration, and centripetal force for objects in circular motion through a guided inquiry activity, using an interactive simulation. The quantitative relationships between these variables are presented and connected to Newton’s second law. The four-step problem solving method is demonstrated and applied to solve circular motion problems.

Learning objectives

The student will be able to: 1) describe and analyze the motion of objects moving in circular motion; 2) apply Newton’s second law to circular motion problems; and 3) interpret free-body force diagrams.

Materials/ technology resources

1) Demonstration: yo-yo or any small object on a string 2) Slide presentation: “CentripetalForce.ppt” 3) Interactive simulation: “Circular motion” 4) Interactive calculators: “Centripetal acceleration” and “Centripetal force” 5) Student work: “CentripetalForce.pdf”

Lesson plan segments

• Demonstration: Swing the yo-yo in a circle at constant speed and ask the students if it is accelerating. Lead them to see that the velocity vector is changing (in direction, though not in magnitude), and that circular motion is the strange case of acceleration at constant speed.

• Slide presentation: The presentation defines centripetal force and provides a guided inquiry into the relationships between velocity, centripetal acceleration, and centripetal force using an interactive simulation. These relationships are then formalized using Newton’s second law of motion. The presentation distinguishes between centripetal and centrifugal forces, poses problems related to circular motion, and demonstrates the application of the four-step problem solving method.

• Investigation: In part 1 of the investigation students examine the direction of velocity, acceleration and force vectors. In part 2 they model a mass swung overhead. In part 3 they graph the proportional relationship between the radius and velocity for an object with constant acceleration.

• Student work: Centripetal force assignment Students should work in pairs to complete the assignment while using the interactive simulation. Bring the class together for a discussion of the relationships depicted in the two graphs in part three.

• Reading: from the Essential Physics textbook

Centripetal force

Investigation 7A: Circular Motion Part 1: Directions of the velocity, force and acceleration vectors

1. Set m = 5.0 kg, r = 5.0 m, and v = 5.0 m/s. 2. Play the simulation and then pause it at various positions around the circle. 3. On the circle below, sketch the velocity, force and acceleration vectors for at least five

positions around the circle. Questions:

a. Which vector quantity or quantities are radial and which are tangential? Are the radial ones pointed inwards (towards the center) or outwards?

b. Do the lengths of the velocity, acceleration or force vectors change as the object moves around the circle?

The innovative,powerful self quiz



Each section review page features a “Take a Quiz” button that randomly generates a 3-5 question self-quiz. Each time the button is pressed, both the questions and the values within questions randomly change so the same quiz never repeats twice.

The “Take a Quiz”button

Students acquire and retain concepts better when they can test themselves frequently in a low-risk situation.

Research shows

Students can check their comprehension and problem-solving abilities concept by concept and skill by skill. This is ideal for “flipped classrooms,” as it motivates students to practice and allows them to keep trying problems on their own time until they can master the content. The “show solutions” feature allows students to learn from their errors and then create a new quiz to check if they can get the correct answers independently.

A unique tool for student self-assessment

Immediate feedbackStudents can score their quiz as many times as they want⎯ and even see solutions. Items turn red or green for incorrect or correct answers.

Turn in for creditThe self-quiz counts how many attempts the student makes to score the test. Students can print their best score for credit or keep creating new quizzes until they can get all items correct with only one attempt at scoring.

Automatically graded quizzes can be printed or emailed to the teacher for credit.

The simulation assumes that you must purchase theland (urban, suburban, or rural sites) or lease it fromthe government (offshore, such as for the Cape Windproject off the Massachusetts coast); the costs willchange depending on your siting choice. Useresources such as the maps at right to determine thetypical wind speed for your potential sites.

Dangerahead

But our modern lifestyle may be living on borrowed time. After all, most of the powersupplying our farms, cars, and factories comes from burning fossil fuels—and fossil fuelscontain solar energy that took millions of years to store. Scientists disagree on how muchcoal, oil, and natural gas remains, but at some point—possibly during your lifetime—wewill need to use more energy to obtain these resources than they give back.

Advantagesof windpower

The vital yet controversial role that energy plays in our livesunderlies the passion with which people pursue renewableenergy—natural processes that can be harnessed to powerour modern lifestyle without being destroyed, disrupted, ordepleted. Renewable energy sources include sunlight, wind,geothermal energy (hot springs and geysers), and movingwater (waterfalls, rivers, ocean waves, and tides). Of these,wind holds much promise in the eyes of manyconservationists: it poses relatively few hazards; it isabundant; and it can be harvested on many scales, from tinybackyard windmills to enormous offshore turbines.

Test Investigate how the power produced and cost per kilowatt-hour vary with the designparameters (diameter, height, number of turbines, siting costs, average wind speed, and lifeexpectancy). Identify the controlled variables in your investigation.

Evaluate Evaluate your design to determine which solutions best meet the design criteria. Yourdesign will pay back its cost over its lifetime when the cost per kilowatt-hour equals theaverage cost in your area. Research the average cost of electricity in your area (or state),which is usually provided in dollars per kilowatt-hour ($/kWh). A monthly homeelectricity bill is one way to determine the local cost of electricity.

“This is a great interactive way for students to learn physics. It allows for so many iterations of actually manipulating different variables. I think the instant feedback will allow students to constantly stay engaged in what they are learning.”

“The new Essential Physics program is excellent. Technology and interactive programs help students visualize physics. The real world examples show students how science is used in their everyday lives, including at home and in the workplace. It has material for regular, pre−AP and AP physics B incorporated into the book. This will be helpful for all of my classes.”
