When a force does work on a body, it changes the energy of the body. Energy can exist in a number of different forms, but we shall consider two main types: Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. Potential Energy • The potential energy of a body is the energy which depends on the position of an object in a gravitational field. • When a body of mass m kg is raised vertically a distance h metres, the work done against gravity is mgh joules: • The work done against gravity is a measure of the increase in the potential energy of the body, i.e. the capacity of the body to do work is increased. • When a body is lowered vertically, its potential energy is decreased. • There is no zero of potential energy, although an arbitrary level may be used from which changes in the potential energy of a body may be measured. Examples: 1. Find the change in the potential energy of a child of mass 48kg when (a) ascending a vertical distance of 2m (b) descending a vertical distance of 2m 2. A crane carries a load of 400kg. It raises it from ground level to a height 30m, the crane then lowers it on to a platform 12m above the ground.

(ii) The work done by a constant force F to increase the speed of mass m from initial speed u ms−1 to final speed v ms−1 through a distance s m: Now work done = F x s v ms−1 u ms−1 = ma x s = F s = = = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy = Change in Kinetic Energy ! 6 _________________________________________WORKDONE, ENERGY AND POWER Examples of Kinetic and Potential Energy 1.
