Chapter 6: Work and Kinetic

Work
The Physics of Work
• By strict definition, in order for work to be
performed, a Net Force must be applied to
a body, resulting in the Displacement of
that body.
Work = Force * Displacement
= Newtons * Meters
= Joules (Energy)
Calculating Work from Vectors
• Consider the Idiot pushing his girlfriend’s car in
one direction while she steers in another:
• The useful work is:
• Thus the Scalar, Work, is a DOT PRODUCT:
Work has a Sign
• Work is calculated by finding the component of
Force acting along the line of Displacement,
but they may be in opposite directions.
• ALSO, Work is W and Weight is w …..OK?
Work is ENERGY
• Work is the product of a Net Force and an
accompanying displacement
• A body under the influence of a Net Force
is accelerating (F = ma)
• An accelerating body is said to have
increasing Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy
• A body with Mass, m, moving at velocity, v,
has some ability to perform Work
(For example, a bowling ball rolling down the
alley can knock over pins)
• This ability of a moving body to do work
(Work is Energy) is quantified as:
Kinetic Energy, K = ½ mv2
(Joules)
Work-Energy
• Positive Work on a Body INCREASES its
Kinetic Energy
• Negative Work on a Body DECREASES
its Kinetic Energy
• A body that gains K must increase in
speed and a body that loses K must
decrease in speed.
gotta have POWER!!!!
Power is the RATE of Work:
i.e. Power is the change in work
over some unit of time
P = ΔW / Δt
(Average Power)
P = dW/dt (Instantaneous Power)
Power is Joules/Seconds or Watts
Review: Sum of Constant
Forces
Suppose FNET = F1 + F2 and the
displacement is S.
The work done by each force
is:
W1 = F1 r
W2 = F2 r
WNET = W1 + W2
= F1 r + F2 r
= (F1 + F2 ) r
WNET = FNET  r

Falling Objects
• Three objects of mass m begin at height h with velocity 0.
One falls straight down, one slides down a frictionless inclined
plane, and one swings on the end of a pendulum. What is the
relationship between their velocities when they have fallen to
height 0?

Only gravity will do work: Wg = mgH = 1/2 mv22 - 1/2 mv12 = 1/2 mv22

does not depend on path !!
Work done by Variable Force:
(1D)
• When the force was constant, we
wrote W = F x
F
– area under F vs. x plot:

• For variable force, we find the area
by integrating:
– dW = F(x) dx.

Work & Energy
• A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless
surface runs into a fixed spring,
compressing it a distance x1 from its
relaxed position while momentarily coming
to rest.
– If the initial speed of the box were doubled and
its mass were halved, how far x2 would the
spring compress ?
(a)
x2  x1
(b) x2  2 x1
x
(c)
x2  2 x1
Lecture 10, Act 2
Solution
• Again, use the fact that WNET = K.
WNET = WSPRING = -1/2 kx2
K = -1/2 mv2
In this case,
and
so
kx2 =
