There are not external forces acted on it, or if there are such forces, they do not work on the system. 2. There are internal forces, it exerts on one another in system. 3. The internal forces are conservational forces. Assume the system consists of two bodies, for example, the block-spring, or the ball-earth. 2017/5/22 [email protected] 12 Chapter 12 Potential Energy W=- ΔU, W= Δ K, (according to the work-energy theorem) ΔK=- ΔU, Δ(K+U)=0, we obtain K+U=E=constant. E is called mechanical energy of the conservative system. This is the mathematical representation of law of conservation of mechanical energy. 2017/5/22 [email protected] 13 Chapter 12 Potential Energy 2017/5/22 [email protected] 14 Chapter 12 Potential Energy 1 1 2 2 mv U ( x ) mv0 U ( x0 ) E 2 2 Here we need not analyze the force or write down Newton’s laws.

Rolling friction An ideal wheel can roll without slipping on a horizontal surface at constant translational and rotational velocity. ω vcm f 2017/5/22 If the frictional force done work on the wheel, then the vcm will decrease, However the ω will increase, which is not the case. [email protected] 21 Chapter 12 Potential Energy Why will the rolling wheel decrease its velocity until the rest? It is because of rolling friction.
