Circular Orbits (1)
Thought Experiment:
On an airless planet,
cannon balls are shot from a
cannon mounted on a tower
ar increasing muzzle
velocities, and go farther
and farther as the velocity
is increased.
What limits their range?

Example: A Satellite’s Motion
A satellite moves at constant speed in a circular
orbit about the center of the Earth and near the
surface of the Earth. If the magnitude of its
acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s2 and the Earth’s
radius is 6,370 km, find:
(a) its speed v; and
(b) the time T required for one complete
revolution.

Note: if you dug a tunnel directly through the center of the Earth and
dropped in a subway car, its round-trip transit time would also be 84.3 minutes.

Work Summary
Energy is transferred from
person to spring as the person
stretches the spring. This is
“work”.

Perpendicular Force and Work
A car is traveling on a curved
highway. The force due to friction fs
points toward the center of the
circular path.
How much work does the frictional
force do on the car?
Zero!
General Result: A force that is
everywhere perpendicular to the
motion does no work.

If there is more than one force acting on an
object, we can find the work done by each force,
and also the work done by the net force:

Example: Pulling a Suitcase
A rope inclined upward at 45o pulls
a suitcase through the airport. The
tension on the rope is 20 N.
How much work does the tension
do, if the suitcase is pulled 100 m?
W  T (x) cos 
W  (20 N)(100 m) cos 45  1410 J
Note that the same work could have been done by a tension of just
14.1 N by pulling in the horizontal direction.

Gravitational Work
In lifting an object of weight mg by a height h, the
person doing the lifting does an amount of work W = mgh.
If the object is subsequently allowed to fall a
distance h, gravity does work W = mgh on the object.

Example: Loading with a Crane
A 3,000 kg truck is to be loaded onto a ship by a
crane that exerts an upward force of 31 kN on the
truck. This force, which is large enough to
overcome the gravitational force and keep the truck
moving upward, is applied over a distance of 2.0 m.
(a) Find the work done on the truck by the crane.
(b) Find the work done on the truck by gravity.
(c) Find the net work done on the truck.

Gravitational Work
When positive work is done on an object, its
speed increases; when negative work is done, its
speed decreases.

Problem Solving Strategy
Picture: The way you choose the +y direction or the +x direction can help
you to easily solve a problem that involves work and kinetic energy.
Solve:
1. Draw the particle first at its initial position and second at its final
position. For convenience, the object can be represented as a dot or box.
Label the initial and final positions of the object.
2. Put one or more coordinate axes on the drawing.
3. Draw arrows for the initial and final velocities, and label them
appropriately.
4. On the initial-position drawing of the particle, place a labeled vector for
each force acting on it.
5. Calculate the total work done on the particle by the forces and equate
this total to the change in the particle’s kinetic energy.
Check: Make sure you pay attention to negative signs during your
calculations. For example, values for work done can be positive or negative,
depending on the direction of the displacement relative to the direction of
the force. Kinetic energy values, however, are always positive.

Example: A Dogsled Race
During your winter break, you enter a
“dogsled” race across a frozen lake, in which
the sleds are pulled by students instead of
dogs. To get started, you pull the sled (mass
80 kg) with a force of 180 N at 40° above the
horizontal. The sled moves x = 5.0 m,
starting from rest. Assume that there is no
friction.
(a) Find the work you do.
(b) Find the final speed of your sled.

Example: Pushing a Puck
A 500 g ice hockey puck slides across
frictionless ice with an initial speed of
2.0 m/s. A compressed air gun is used to
exert a continuous force of 1.0 N on the
puck to slow it down as it moves 0.50 m.
The air gun is aimed at the front edge of
the puck, with the compressed air flow
30o below the horizontal.
What is the puck’s final speed?

Example: Work on an Electron
In a television picture tube, electrons are accelerated
by an electron gun. The force that accelerates the
electron is an electric force due to the electric field
in the gun. An electron is accelerated from rest by an
electron gun to an energy of 2.5 keV (2,500 eV) over a distance
of 2.5 cm. (1 eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J)
Find the force on the electron, assuming that it is constant and in the
direction of the electron’s motion.
