New Topic - Potential Energy

Consider a ball at some height above the ground.
h
Before the ball falls it has the potential to
do an amount of work mgh.
We say the ball has a potential energy
of U = mgh.
By falling the ball loses its potential
energy, work is done on the ball, and it
gains some kinetic energy,
W = DK = 1/2 mv2 = -DU = mgh

to horizontal. The cart (with mass 1 kg) is released. It
bounces back and forth on the track. It falls 1 meter
down the track, then bounces back up to its original
position. How much total work is done by gravity on the
cart when it reaches its original position.

Some Definitions

Conservative Forces - those forces for which the
work done does not depend on the path taken,
but only the initial and final position.

Potential Energy - describes the amount of work
that can potentially be done by one object on
another under the influence of a conservative
force
W = -DU
only differences in potential energy matter.

Potential Energy

For any conservative force F we can define a
potential energy function U in the following way:
W =
 F.dr = - DU
 The
work done by a conservative force is equal and
opposite to the change in the potential energy function.

For a force to be a conservative force, when
applied to a single test body:

space.
b. it must have the same direction at all points in
space.
c. it must be parallel to a displacement in any

Question - 2

The force a spring exerts on a body is a
conservative force because :
1.
a spring always exerts a force opposite to the
displacement of the body.
the work a spring does on a body is equal for
compressions and extensions of equal magnitude.
the work a spring does on a body is equal and
opposite for compressions and extensions of
equal magnitude.
the net work a spring does on a body is zero
when the body returns to its initial position.

Work/Energy for Conservative Forces
The air track is is again at an angle of 30 degrees
with respect to horizontal. The cart (with mass 1 kg)
is released 1 meter from the bottom and hits the
bumper with some speed, v1. You want the cart to go
faster, so you release the cart higher. How high do
you have to release the cart so it hits the bumper with
speed v2 = 2v1?

Conservation of Energy

If only conservative forces are present, the total energy
(sum of potential and kinetic energies) of a system is
conserved.
E=K+U
DE = DK + DU
= W + DU
= W + (-W) = 0
E = K + U is constant !!!
using DK = W
using DU = -W

Both K and U can change, but E = K + U remains constant.

A 0.04-kg ball is thrown from the top of a 30-m tall
building (point A) at an unknown angle above the
horizontal. As shown in the figure, the ball attains a
maximum height of 10 m above the top of the
building before striking the ground at point B. If air
resistance is negligible, what is the value of the
kinetic energy of the ball at B minus the kinetic
energy of the ball at A (KB – KA)?

For which path does friction do more work ?

A Non-Conservative Force
Path 2
Since |W2|>|W1| the puck
will be traveling slower at
the end of path 2.
Work done by a nonconservative force takes
energy out of the system.
Path 1
W1 = -mmg d1
W2 = -mmg d2
since d2 > d1,
-W2 > -W1

Work/Energy for Non-Conservative Forces
The air track is is again at an angle of 30 degrees
with respect to horizontal. The cart (with mass 1 kg)
is released 1 meter from the bottom and hits the
bumper with some speed, v1. This time the vacuum/
air generator breaks half-way through and the air
stops. The cart only bounces up half as high as
where it started. How much work did friction do on
the cart ?

Generalized Work Energy Theorem:

Suppose FNET = FC + FNC (sum of conservative and nonconservative forces).

The total work done is: WTOT = WC + WNC

The Work Kinetic-Energy theorem says that: WTOT = DK.
 WTOT = WC + WNC = DK

WNC = DK - WC

But WC = -DU
So
WNC = DK + DU = DE
