ENERGY

WORK• An object that has energy has the ability to produce a change

•Work is how we transfer energy, it is equal to the change in energy

•In order to do work on an object, you must increase the energy within it

•Any type of energy can do work

Kinetic Energy

• Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy of motion

• More speed means more KE

Gravitational Potential Energy

• Potential Energy is Stored Energy

Heat Energy • Heat is energy that is created by friction

• This could be from sliding, rubbing or deformation

WORK

WORK EXAMPLES•Let’s look at the following scenarios:

•Work or Not?

•Lifting a box above your head

•Holding that box there for 2 hours

•Sliding a box across a frictionless surface at constant speed

ENERGY EQUATIONS: WORK•Work is the product of the force applied in the direction of motion and the distance it is applied

•When the force and the movement are parallel, work is simply

θForce (F)

ENERGY UNITS•Notice: from the work formula, energy units are a combo of Force (Newtons) and distance (m) or Newton•meters (N•m)

•The SI units for energy are Joules (J).

•So, one Joule is equal to 1 Newton•meter.

POWER•In physics, power just means the rate of doing work

•So, faster work means more power

•The units come out to Joules per second. •We call this a Watt (W) for short

Work Example In the 1950s, an experimental train, which had a mass of 2.5 x 104 kg, was forced across a level track by a jet engine that produced a thrust of 5.0 x 105 N for a distance of 509 m. Find the work done on the train.

KINETIC ENERGY•Energy is the ability to do work

•Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy of motion

•More speed means more KE

KINETIC ENERGY

ENERGY EQUATIONS: KINETIC E•Let’s throw a block

•Work can transfer energy into the block

•Work is done while the block is being accelerated by the hand a distance of d

ENERGY EQUATIONS: KINETIC E•So, the work done is:

•This time the force is simply ma

•Remember that acceleration equation?:

ENERGY EQUATIONS: KINETIC E•Let’s substitute:

•The normal equation assumes starting from rest (vi = 0):

HW Q #1 pg 408You will need to do some estimating for parts of this problem. I am purposely leaving these a little vague. Specify where you got information that you had to look up or explain how you arrived at estimates for mass and velocity.

a. Estimate the Kinetic Energy of a Chihuahua moving as fast as it can.

POTENTIAL ENERGY•Potential Energy is stored energy

•Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is when energy is stored in an objects position (height)

•The higher an object goes, the more GPE

•(and the faster the speed it will have when it hits the ground)

ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY (EPE)•The other type of Potential Energy we will look at is Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)

•Instead of height, the energy is stored by stretching an object.

•More stretching means more EPE

•ex. rubber band, spring

POTENTIAL ENERGY

ENERGY EQUATIONS: GPE•For GPE, we still have force x distance, but this time the force is the objects weight, mg

•This gives us the equation:

•We use h instead of d since it will always be height for GPE

F=mg

m

ENERGY EQUATIONS: ELASTIC PE•EPE is trickier than GPE

•force changes depending on how much you stretch the object

•This force depends on both the distance stretched (x) and a spring constant (k)

•This equation is known as Hooke’s Law

ENERGY EQUATIONS: ELASTIC PE•This k comes from how much force is needed to stretch a spring per a certain distance

•What is the k for this spring?

ENERGY EQUATIONS: ELASTIC PE•Since the force at the beginning of the stretch is different than the end, we use an average to calculate the EPE:

•Since we usually start the stretch from rest:

ENERGY EQUATIONS: HEAT•When pushing a block at constant speed across a surface, the friction force is turned into heat

•Since added force is only working against friction (no a), all of the work done on the block is then turned into heat

f

ENERGY EQUATIONS: HEAT

•Remember that d is only during the friction

Proportionality Example By what factor does the Kinetic Energy of a car change if the speed doubles?
