Work and Energy
So far, we have viewed motion
in terms of Newton’s 3 Laws.
What are they?
• Law of Inertia – a body at rest stays at rest & a
body in motion continues in its straight line
motion at a constant v unless a net external
force acts on it.
Law of Acceleration -An Fnet will cause a mass to
accelerate F = ma.
Action- Reaction - If a force is applied to a
particle by a body, the particle will apply an
equal but opposite force to the body.
Work, Power, & Energy
Energy, E offers an alternative analysis of motion and
its causes.
Changes in E is valuable in analyzing motion in
systems i.e. roller coasters, engines, power plants,
transformers.
What are some types of energy?
What is energy? Define it.
Def: Energy is ability to do work.
Work is done when force applied to an object
or particle causes motion parallel to force
direction.
Work and Energy are Scalar quantities.
W = F net x d cosq.
• F = parallel l l to displacement N.
• q = angle between force and displacement.
• q = 0, W = Fd.
.
.
• d = displacement – m.
• If Fap has no component parallel to motion W=0!
• Remember Fnet = S F, if more than 1parallel force, they
add.
Units

Joules (J)
• When a force F is applied to an object, it may
produce a displacement d.
W = F  d = F d cos ()
Work can be zero even if force is applied.
W = Fd cos a
• The work done is zero if:
– d = 0 m (no displacement)
– force perpendicular to the displacement.
Work is Scalar but:
Work is positive when the force component
causing the displacement is in the same
direction as the displacement.
Work is negative when the force
component causing the displacement is in
the opposite direction as the displacement.
Zero Work
• There are many important
examples of forces that do
not do any work.
• For example, the
gravitational force between
the earth and the moon
does not do any work!
Moving horizontally
while applying an
upward force is not
work. Yeah – right!!
Examples
• How much work is done to lift a 10 N chair 1
meter?
W = Fd
10N x 1m
10-J
• How much work is done to hold a 44 N
weight at a constant height of 2.0 m?
W = Fd
44N x 0
W=0
Forces acting at angles to motion
Consider the Force Component parallel to
displacement.
Ex 1: A man pulls a cart with a rope
that makes a 20o angle to the horizontal.
If he exerts a 100 N force, how much
work is done is he pulls the cart 8.0
meters?
W = F cos qd = 100 N (cos 20o)(8.0m)
= 752 Nm = 752 J
100 N

Ex 2. A student lifts a 1.5-kg box 2-m
straight up.
a. How much work did she do on
the box?
b. How much work did gravity
do on the box?
The force on the box was:
Fg = mg (1.5 kg)(10 m/s2) = 15-N.
The work done by the student was W = Fd
(15-N)(2-m) = +30 J.
Gravity did negative 30 J of work b/c it
was pulling in the opposite direction of the
displacement.

Energy
Energy = Ability to do work.
Energy is measured in Joules.
E measured in terms of
amount of work it can do.
If a battery has 9 J of E, it
can do 9 J of work.
Relationship between Work and
Energy.
• It takes work to change an object’s
energy from one form to another, or to
increase or decrease it.
• What are some forms of energy?
Common Energy Types:
Kinetic (KE) – energy of motion
Gravitational Potential (GPE) – energy due
to height in gravitational field.
Chemical- energy stored in chemical bonds
Elastic Potential – energy stored in shape
deformations.
Electrical Energy – due to charge
separation.
Internal or Heat Energy (Q) – due to
vibration of atoms.
Mass/Nuclear Energy = Stored between
subatomic particles. E = mc2.
Kinetic Energy, KE
is energy associated
with object in
motion.
The amount of KE = ½ mv2.
m = mass in kg.
v = velocity in m/s.
KE in Joules (J) or Nm.
Derivation of KE equation.

KE = W
KE = FDd
KE = maDd
KE = m (Dv) Dd = m Dv Dd
Dt

KE = ½ mv2.
Ex 3: Calculate the speed of a
80,000-kg airplane with KE =
1.1 x 109 J.
KE = ½ mv2
v  2 KE / m

2(1.1x10 J ) / 80,000kg
= 170 m/s
Work must be done to change the E of an
object.
W = DKE.
W = KEf - KEi
Ex 3: A pitcher does work to accelerate a 145g baseball
from rest to 25 m/s.
a) What is its KE?
b) How much work was done to reach this speed?
KE = 1/2mv2.
• a) ½(0.145kg)(25m/s)2 = 45 J
• b) since the KE is 45 J and the initial KE
was zero:
 DKE =KEf – KEi
 DKE = 45 J – 0 J = 45 J of work
Work – KE Theorem
Wnet = DKE
In order to change the velocity of
an object (DKE), work must be
done.
The amount of work done is
equal to the change in KE.
Ex 4: How much work is required
to accelerate a 1000 kg car from 20
m/s to 30m/s?
The work needed is equal to the DKE.
 DKE = KE2- KE1.
• W = 1/2mv2f - 1/2mv2i.
• =1/2(1000kg)(30m/s)2 -1/2(1000kg)(20m/s)2.
= 2.5 x 105 J.
Ex 4: On a frozen pond, a person kicks a 10-kg
sled giving it an initial speed of 2.2 m/s. It slides
and eventually comes to a stop.
• How much work is done bringing it to a stop?
• What force does work to stop the sled?
• How far will the sled move after being kicked
if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10
between the ice and the sled?
List
m = 10kg
vi = 2.2 m/s
vf = 0
m = 0.1
d=?
W = DKE = KEf – KEi
W = 0 - 1/2mvi2.
W = ½(10kg)(2.2)2.= 24.2 J
Friction stops the sled.
• W = 24.2 J
• Fd = 24.2 J
 mFnd=24.2 J
 mmgd = 24.2 J
• 0.1(10kg)(9.81m/s2)d = 24.2 J
• d = 2.48 m.
In the past we’ve used velocity,
acceleration equations to solve
for distance, velocity etc.
We can consider using KE and
work equations.

Force/distance Graphs
Area under curve = work or DE.
Do Now: A constant force is applied over a
distance to an object & graphed. How
would we calculate work from the graph?
Find the work done at 8-m.
What if the force is not constant but varies over
distance? How would we find the work done from
the graph?
½ (4mx5N)
= 10 Nm
Find the work done
between 4 – 8m.
Wtot = 20+10=30 Nm

Potential Energy – Stored Energy
An object can store energy as the result
of its position.
Gravitational
Potential
Energy
(GPE or PEg)
Energy due to position of object above some
base level (lowest available point).
PEg = work done to raise some
distance against gravity.
W = Fd
W = mgd
PEg = mgDh
Examples of work done by GPE
Pile driver
Dam or waterfalls
See Saw Circus Act.
Ex 2: A 12 N weight fell 2-m. How much
PE did it lose? What agent did work on the
weight? Was the work positive or negative?
PE = (mg) h
(12N)(2m) = 24 J
Positive F and d same
As objects fall under gravity, they lose PEg
but gain KE. (They go faster)
Ex 3: A 50 N weight falls for 10-m.
How much PE does it lose?
• 50N x 10m = 500 J
How much KE does it gain?
• 500 J
What is its velocity at that point?
• KE = ½ mv2.
• 500J = ½ (5kg) v2.
• 14 m/s.
Elastic PE
Elastic materials store energy when stretched or
compressed. The further they are deformed, the
more E they will store (the more work they can do).
It takes a force to
stretch or compress
a spring.
Each spring has a
constant, k, which
indicates how much
force is needed to
deform it.
Hooke’s Law
• How much force is needed to deform elastic
material.
• Hooke’s Law – Fs = kx.
• Force on spring, N (=weight),
• x is DL (m),
• k is constant in N/m.
Ex 4: A 12-N weight stretches a spring 25cm when hung from it. What is k for the
spring?
• F = kx
• F/x = k
• 12-N/0.25m = 48 N/m.
Graph F vs. x is direct linear
Fs = kx.
Slope = k
Elastic Energy

• PEs= ½ kx2.
– x is the dif btw relaxed length and new
length in meters sometime Dx.
– k is a constant for the material N/m.
– PE in joules.
Ex 5. A 2.0 kg mass is attached to a vertical
spring, the spring is stretched 10.0 cm such
that the mass is 50.0 cm above the table.
1. What is the GPE relative to the table?
9.81 J
2. What is the spring’s PEs if k = 400.0 N/m?
2.0 J
3. What is the total PE of the system? 11.8 J
Ex 6: A spring with a force constant of
5.2-N/m has a relaxed length of 2.45-m.
When a mass is attached to it the
vertical length of the spring is 3.57-m.
Calculate the PEs stored in the spring.

7. A spring has a constant of 500 N/m.
What is the work required to
compress it 3.0-cm?

Energy Lost to Friction
(or other internal forms)
• Often Mech. E is converted to heat
because of friction or can be converted to
other forms of internal E like sound.
• Think about a box being pushed on the
ground at a constant velocity by an applied
force of 20-N. What force is friction
exerting on the box?
Ex 1. A girl pushes a box at a constant
speed 10-m by doing 15-J of work. How
much work was done by friction?
Hint: Sketch the free body diagram.
• 15 J
• If some ME is “missing” after your
calculations are done, it was probably “lost”
to frictional heating.
• The “lost” ME is the difference between the
the total initial ME the total final ME.
• Set up an energy transformation equation and
take the difference between the two energies.
Ex 2. A 5 kg box slides down a hill
from a height of 6-m. If its KE at the
bottom of the hill is 200-J, how much
energy was lost to friction?
• PE = mgh should equal gain in KE
• =(5kg)(9.81m/s2)(6m)
• =294 J but KE only 200J
294 J – 200 J = 94 J Lost
Ex 3: A workman uses a pulley to raise
a 12-N box 12-m. If he does 200-J of
work in raising the box, how much
energy was lost to friction?
• 200 J – 144 J .
• 56 J
Energy & Work Something for Nothing?
Why do people use a ramp rather than steep
stairs to push a box or shopping cart?
• If a box gains 4 J of GPE, it takes 4 J of
work to give it the GPE regardless of
whether you lift it straight up or push it up a
(frictionless) ramp!
Consider sliding a box up a ramp to change its PEg.
force you apply is to overcome the weight.
(no friction).
As the ramp angle gets lower the distance to raise
the object must get longer to attain the same
DPE.
So F gets less, d gets proportionally longer.
For the same DPE, the distance can be
shorter or longer. But work Fd is the
same.
Either large F & short d, or small F &
long d.

Efficiency IB only
Usually, some energy is lost to heat, light, sound,
etc. We must do extra work.
Efficiency is a percentage:
useful work done x 100%
actual work done
Ex 4 reg:
An engine with a power output of 1.2 kW pulls an
object with weight of 1000 N at a constant speed
straight up. A constant frictional force of 300 N
acts on the engine. The object is lifted a distance of
8.0 m.
1.Find the speed of the object .
2.the efficiency of the engine.
Ex 4: An engine with a power output of 1.2 kW
drags an object with weight of 1000 N at a
constant speed up a 30o incline. A constant
frictional force of 300 N acts between the object
and the plane. The object is dragged a distance
of 8.0 m.
1. Find the speed of the object and the efficiency
of the engine.
2. calculate the energy output per second of the
fuel used.
Speed of the Object
The downhill weight component is:
1000 N (sin 30o) = 500 N.
The total force the engine must overcome is
weight + friction:
500 N + 300 N = 800 N.
P = Fv
v=P
F
1200 W
800 N
v = 1.5 m/s.
The machine lifts the weight to a height:
8.0m (sin30o) = 4.0 m.
The useful work is (mg)h:
(1000 N)(4.0 m) = 4000 J.
The actual work done is: (800 N)(8.0m)= 6400 J.
Eff: useful work x 100%
actual work
4000 J x 100%
6400 J
=63 %
You can calculate the energy output per second
of the fuel used.
Since the machine has a power output of 1.2 kW
and is 63% efficient, the fuel must produce
energy at a rate of:
1.2 x 103 J/s = 1.9 x 103 J/s.
0.63
Work done by non-constant force.
