*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*The Purpose of a SpringSprings can be power amplifiers. Springs can return energy faster than the energy was stored in the spring.Power is the rate at which work is done. P = W/tWork done on an object changes the energy of the object by an amount equal to the work done.Therefore, power is the rate at which energy is changing.Power can also be calculated by multiplying the instantaneous net force acting on an object by the objects instantaneous velocity. P = Fv


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Pole Vault Example: Store EnergyThe vaulter applies force to the pole which causes the pole to bend

The more the pole bends, the more force is required to add additional bend.

The bend results in the storage of strain energy in the pole.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Pole Vault: Return Energy4. The vaulter then maneuvers into a position in which she does not supply enough resistance to maintain the bend in the pole.

The pole then releases the stored strain energy in the form of kinetic energy to the vaulter.

The correct timing of the return of energy from the pole and the fact that the energy is returned at a faster rate, enables the vaulter to jump higher.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Hookes LawIf a spring is bent, stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position, then it will exert a restoring force proportional to the amount it is bent, stretched or compressed.Fs = kx (Hookes Law)Related to Hookes Law, the work required to bend a spring is also a function of k and x.Ws = ( k)x2 = amount of stored strain energyK is the stiffness of the spring. Bigger means Stifferx is the amount the spring is bent from equilibrium


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Based on Hookes LawA force is required to bend a springThe more force applied the bigger the bendThe more bend, the more strain energy storedRelationship between F and x slope of the line = kStored strain energy = k x2


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Kinetic EnergyWhen the strain energy stored in a spring is released, it is converted into kinetic energy.The kinetic energy of an object is determined from an objects mass and velocity. KE = mv2A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s has a kinetic energy ofKE = (2)(3)2 = 9 J Mass doesnt change. This means that when strain energy is released, either the end of the spring or an object attached to it undergoes an increase in velocity. The power is amplified.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*The Work-Energy RelationshipThe work done on an object is equal to the net average force applied to the object multiplied by the distance over which the force acted. W = FdThis means that no matter how long or how hard you apply a force to an object, no work is done if that object doesnt move.Mechanical work is different from physiological work.100 J of work are done if a 100 N net force moves an object 1 m.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Total Energy = KE + PEAn objects total energy is calculated by adding its current kinetic (KE) and potential (PE) energies.Potential energy is dependent upon an objects current displacement from some reference point and a potential average force that will act on the object if it moves from its current position to that reference point.An example of PE is an object at a certain height (h) above the ground. PE = mghA 4 kg object 2 m above the ground has PE = (9.81)(4)(2) = 78.5 J of potential energy.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Total Energy = KE + PEIf the object is displaced from its current point to the reference point by that potential force, then its kinetic energy will increase by the amount of potential energy the object initially possessed.A 4 kg object, initially at rest, that falls 2 m will have a KE = PE = (9.81)(4)(2) = 78.5 J.Since KE = mv2,v = sqrt(2KE/m) Therefore, the object will have a velocity of v = sqrt[ 2(78.5)/4] = -6.3 m/s when it lands.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Potential Energy in a SpringA second example of PE is stored strain energy.Earlier it was shown that the strain energy stored in a linear spring is SE = ( k)x2, or FxIn this case, the F stands for the amount of force required to deform the spring by its current displacement x. The is required for this PE equation because over the range of displacement, the force will fall to zero. Thus F represents the average force applied over the displacement.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Strain PE vs. Gravitational PEThe area under the curve on the left equals the energy stored in a linear spring, or the amount of work required to deform the spring.The area under the curve on the right equals the potential energy due to the constant force of gravity (mg), or the work required to lift an object x m.Note that one area is square and the other triangular.


Pole Vault ExampleYelena Isinbayeva (1.74m/65kg) deflects her 4.5m pole to 70% of its full length. The pole has a bending stiffness of 1000 N/m. At this point in the vault, her vertical velocity is 3 m/s and she is 2.5 m above the ground. How much strain energy is stored in the pole?What is her potential energy due to gravity?How much kinetic energy does she have in the vertical direction?What will be her peak height in the vault?

Example: SlingshotJimmy loads a 2 kg water balloon into his giant slingshot which has a stiffness of 400 N/m. Jimmy stretches the slingshot 1.5 m from equilibrium and slings the balloon straight up into the air. If no strain energy is lost to heat or sound, how high will the balloon fly relative to the equilibrium point?

*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*A Tennis ServeDuring a tennis serve there are 3 springs in actionFrame2. Ball 3. StringsEach spring has a specific stiffness (k) and therefore a different ability to act as a power amplifier.The frame, the ball, and the strings all store and release energy differently


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*The StringsThe area under each line, is the amount of strain energy stored in the strings. You can see that less stiff springs (in this case strings) can store more strain energy for a given force.However, the ball also has the ability to store and release strain energy. Perhaps the ball departs the strings before the ball has returned to equilibrium.


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Ball leaves before it (the ball) returns to equilibriumThis must be considered when the strings, frame and ball act as springs simultaneously during contact in a serve.This graph represents the ball only


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Ball: a player cannot alter the ball stiffnessFrame Strings The frame of a tennis racquet is a poor spring. Therefore, it is better to have the strings and ball performing most of the power amplification. Thus the frame should be the stiffest element. Why would a good player still want stiff strings?


*Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK 376*Diving BoardHow would you determine the actual stiffness of a diving board?How does the stiffness of a diving board relate to the strain energy that can be stored temporarily in the board?Sketch a vertical force-time profile for the force that acts on a divers feet during his time of contact with the board. Sketch the corresponding vertical force-time profile for the force from his feet pressing on the board.
