engines? The acceleration due to gravity of
Zombie is ½ that of earth’s.
State the work-energy theorem in equation form:

force is given by FD = bv2.
Give an equation for kinetic energy:
Problem: A force of F1 = (4.0 i + j) N and
another of F2 = -4.0 j N act upon a 1 kg object at
rest at the origin. What is the speed of the object

Conservative forces:
Work in moving an object is path
independent.
Work in moving an object along a closed
path is zero.
Work is directly related to a negative change
in potential energy
Ex: gravity, electrostatic, magnetostatic,
springs
Problem: A 1000-kg space probe lifts straight
upward off the planet Zombie, which is without
an atmosphere, at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s.
Non-conservative forces:
Work is path dependent.
Work along a closed path is NOT zero.
Work may be related to a change in
mechanical energy, or thermal energy
Ex: friction, drag, magnetodynamic
