Work and Energy Energy Conservation MidterM 1 statistics… Mean = 16.48 Average = 2.74 2 Clicker Question #5 Rocket Science!!! The major principle of rocket propulsion is: a) b) c) d) e) Conservation Conservation Conservation Conservation Conservation of of of of of energy force velocity momentum volume 3 New term: Work • Work carries a special meaning in physics – Simple form: work = force distance W=F·d – Note: force and distance are vectors, but W is a scalar • Means: (magnitude of F component along d ) (magnitude of d) • Work can be done by you, as well as on you – Are you the pusher or the pushed? • Work is a measure of expended energy – Work makes you tired – But sometimes doing no work (physics-wise) makes you tired! • Examples – Push a box across the floor: work by you against friction force – Get accelerated in your car: work on you by car's engine – Hold a barbell over your head for 30 minutes • Oops: no work, physics-wise ! (F yes, but d=0) • Why are you tired? Ans: your muscles are flexing just to stay still 4 Work = Energy • Energy is "the ability to do work" – Raised brick can do work: let it fall on nail • How did it get raised? I did work on brick • Where does energy go? Force on nail × distance driven – Work = F d = energy • So, unit of work = newton-meter = joule (J) • Different kinds of energy James Joule, 1818-89 – Energy due to motion: kinetic energy (KE) • example: falling brick – Due to position near earth: gravitational energy (GE) • example: brick before it is dropped (compare to brick on ground) • GE is one kind of potential energy = energy due to location – Energy due to random motion of molecules: thermal energy (heat) • more on heat soon... – Energy released by breaking up molecules (chemical) or nuclei (nuclear) 5 Gravitational Energy (GE) • Gravitational (Potential) Energy near the surface of the Earth: Work = Force Distance W = mg h m h m Lift the mass = spend energy (do work on mass). Drop the mass = get energy (mass can do work for me!) Recover work done by whoever lifted it! GE = 'stored work'. BUT there is no universal zero-point for the h used in the GE formula ! Lift 10kg mass 1 m above floor: W=mgh=100N·1m=100 J of GE relative to floor. Floor might be 10 m above ground! GE =1000 J relative to ground. Building might be on edge of Grand Canyon... etc Only differences in vertical position matter: always must specify relative to what. 6 Only vertical displacements affect GE Ramp = tool to lift heavy weights Exert a smaller vertical force over a larger distance to achieve the same change in gravitational potential energy (height raised) Total work done may be larger (if friction along ramp!) Larger Force Short Distance Smaller Force Long Distance Fup` Normal component • • • mg Push 100 kg mass up a ramp 10 m long and 1 m high M N (220 lb) of force to lift directly: task for strong person! mg = 980 Work done = (980 N)(1 m) = 980 N·m (J) for direct lift Extend over 10 m, and only 98 N (22 lb) is needed: anyone can do it – Work done is still 980 J - neglecting frictional forces/losses along ramp parallel component 7 Work is Exchange of Energy • Energy is the capacity to do work • Two main categories of energy – Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion • A moving baseball can do work • A falling anvil can do work • Thermal energy = KE of molecules – Potential Energy: Stored (latent) capacity to do work • Gravitational potential energy (perched on cliff) • Mechanical potential energy (as in a compressed spring) • Chemical potential energy (stored in molecular bonds) • Nuclear potential energy (in bonds between nucleons) • Energy can be converted between types 8 Everyday Energy Conversion • Falling object converts gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy • Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy – makes things hot (rub your hands together) – irretrievable energy: dispersed among molecules! • Truck's motor converts chemical energy (gasoline) into KE • Toaster converts electrical energy (KE of electrons in wires) into thermal energy • Generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy – Doing work on something increases that object’s energy by amount of work done, transferring energy from the agent doing the work – Work done by something decreases object's energy by transferring energy from that object 9 Energy is "Conserved" ! • The total energy (in all forms) in an “closed” system remains constant – the whole Universe is a "system" too – Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can go from one form to another • This is one of Nature’s “conservation laws” – Conservation laws apply to: • Energy (includes mass via E = mc 2) • Momentum • Angular Momentum and, as we'll see: • Electric Charge • Properties relating to nuclear forces (with no macro-world examples) • Conservation laws are fundamental in physics, and stem from symmetries of nature – Conservation of energy relates to time-reversal symmetry – Conservation of momentum relates to spatial (or rotational) symmetries – Other physical quantities are also conserved at subatomic level: • always related to some symmetry property of forces involved 10 Energy Conservation Demonstrated • • • • Roller coaster car lifted to initial height (put energy in) Converts gravitational potential energy to motion Fastest at bottom of track Re-converts kinetic energy back into potential as it climbs the next hill "under its own momentum" 11 Quantifying Kinetic Energy: KE = ½mv 2 • The kinetic energy for a mass in motion is KE = ½ mv 2 notice: depends on (speed)2 • Example: 1 kg object moving at 10 m/s (1/2)(1kg 10m/s)2 = 50 (kg-m/s2)m = 50 N-m = 50 J of kinetic energy • Ball dropped from rest at a height h (GE = mgh) hits the ground with speed v : compare its original GE with its final KE – – – – x=h t=0 KE=0 GE=mgh x=0 t=2gh KE=½mv 2 GE=0 We expect conservation of E so should have ½mv 2 = mgh h = (½)gt 2 (distance travelled in free fall from rest: x = (½)at 2) v = gt (v) 2 = (gt) 2 = g 2t 2 (v after free-falling for time = t) GE = mgh = mg (½gt 2) = (½)mg 2t 2 = ½mv 2 = KE - check! • Ball has converted its gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy: the energy of motion • This gives us a simpler way to find v of falling object: energy GEinitial =mgh =KEfinal = ½ mv 2 Notice m cancels out: doesn't matter, v2 = 2gh for any mass 12
