5.1 Work
“The product of force and displacement ( in the direction of force ), during which the force is acting, is defined as work.”
When 1 N force is applied on a particle and the resulting displacement of the partic e, in the direction of the force, is 1 m, the work done is defined as 1 J ( joule ). The dimensional formula of work is M1 L2 T 2.
The displacement may not be in the direction of the applied force in all cases. In the figure shown, the displacement, d, makes an angle
with the applied force, F. According to the definition of force,
Work, W = force × displacement in the direction of the force
= F ( d cos ) = ( F cos ) ( d ) = ( the component of force in the direc ion of displacement ) × ( displacement )
( i ) For = π / 2, work W = 0, even if F nd d are both non-zero. In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force acti on a particle is perpendicular to its displacement. Hence, the work done due to centripetal force during such a motion is zero.
( ii ) If < 2, work done is posit ve and is said to be done on the object by the force.
( iii ) If / 2 < θ , work d ne is negative and is said to be done by the object against the force.
5.2 Scalar product of two vectors
The scalar product of two vectors, →→B and A , also known as the dot product, is written by
putting a dot ( ) between the two vectors and is defined as:
→→⋅ B A = l →
A l l →B l cos = A B cos , where θ is the angle between the two vectors.
To obtain the scalar product of →→B and A , they are to be drawn from
a common point, O, with the same magnitudes and directions as shown in the figure.
M is the foot of perpendicular from the
head of →→B to A . OM ( = A cos θ is
the magnitude of projection of →→B on A .

‘A force varying with position or time is known as the variable force.’
To find work done under a variable force, consider a two-dime sional motion of a particle moving along a curved path AB as shown in the figure under the effect of a variable force The curved path is divided into
infinitesimally s all line segments 1∆l , 2∆l , …
, ∆l .
Let→1F , 2F , … , nF be the forces acting on
the particle at line segments, 1∆l , 2∆l , … ,
n∆l respectively. As the line segments are very small, the force over each segment can be considered constant.
The total work as the particle moves from A to B can be obtained as the sum of the work done for different line segments as under.

where K0 and K are the initial and final kinetic energies. The unit of kinetic energy is the same as that of work, i.e., joule.
Thus, “the work done by the resultant force on a body, in the absence of dissipative forces, is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the body.”
This statement is known as the work-energy the rem.
When a particle performs uniform circular motion, the centripetal force acting on it is perpendicular to its tangential instantaneous displacement and hence no work is done by the centripetal force and the speed and kin c en rgy of the particle do not change.
If the body is displaced in the directi n of the force acting on it, work is done by the force on the body and is positive. The inet c energy of the body increases in this case. If the displacement of the body is against t e force acting on it, work is done by the body and is negative. The kinetic energy f th body decreases in this case.

Here, the work depends on the initial and final positions of the body and not on the path followed. Also, there is no loss of mechanical energy if friction and air resistance are ignored. In this case, the force is known as conservative force and the field as conservative field.
If v1 and v2 are velocities of the body at heights y1 and y2respectively, then according to work-energy theorem,
The work done, W = 21 mv2
2 -
21 mv1
2 = mgy1 - mgy2 [ from
equation ( 1 ) above ] Here, mgy1 and mgy2 are the potential energies of the body at heights y1 and y2 respectively from the surface of the Earth due to the Earth’s gravitational field. Surface of the Earth is the reference level from her potential energy is calculated. Besides, the Earth’s surface, any other level can be chosen as reference level.
Thus, gravitational potential energy of a body of mass m at height h from the surface of the Earth is U = mgh.
From the above equation, 21 mv1
2 + mgy1 = 21 mv2
2 + mgy2
Thus, in a conservative field, he mechanical energy, E, which is the sum of kinetic energy
( K =21 mv2 ) and potent al energy ( U = mgh ) remains constant.
∴ E = K + U.
Thus, the mechani al energy of an isolated system of bodies is conserved in a conservative field. This statement is known as the law of conservation of mechanical energy.
5.6 Elastic potential energy: ( Potential energy due to the configuration of a system )
On end of an elastic spring of negligible mass and obeying Hooke’s law is tied with a rigid wall and to the other end a block of mass m is tied. The block is at x = 0 when the spring is not extended or compressed. On displacing the block, the restoring force is produced in the spring which tries to restore the block to its original position.
The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block and is in a direction opposite to the displacement.

where k is the force constant of the spring which is defined as the force required to pull or compress the spring by unit displacement. Its unit is N m and its dimensional formula is M1 L0 T 2.

This work done on the spring is stored in the form of elastic potential energy of the spring. Taking the potential energy to be zero for x = 0, for hange i length equal to x, the potential stored in the spring will be
U = 21 kx2
Relation between force and potential energy
The change in kinetic energy, K, of the par icle is equal to work, W, done on it by force, F, in displacing it through a small distance, x.
∴ ∆K = W = F ∆x
But, by the law of conservation of mechanical energy,
∆K + U = 0 F x + U 0 ∴ F = x∆U∆ -
∴ instantaneous value of F = -x∆U∆lim

Power is a scalar quantity like work and energy. Its unit is watt ( W ). 1 W = 1 J /s. Its dimensional formula is M1 L2 T 3.
1 kilowatt ( kW ) = 103 watt ( W ) and 1 megawatt ( MW ) = 106 W.
In British system, unit of power is horsepower ( hp ). 1 hp = 746 W.
1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the electrical unit of energy (work) as the p oduct f power and time.
1 unit of electrical energy = 1 kWh = 3.6 × 106 J.
5.8 Elastic and inelastic collisions
• In elastic collision, total linear momentum and tot l kinetic energy of the colliding bodies are conserved.
• In inelastic collision, total linear momentum of the colliding bodies is conserved, but part or whole of the kinetic energy is lost in her forms of energy.
• In both, elastic as well as inelastic coll sions, total energy ( energy of all forms, mechanical, internal, sound, etc. ) and total linear momentum are conserved.
Inelastic collision in one dimension:
Partly inelastic collision:
Suppose a sphere A f ma s m1 moving with velocity v1 in X-direction collides with another sphere of mass m2 moving in the same direction with velocity v2. ( v1 > v2 )
Let v1 and v2’ be their velocities in the same ( X ) direction after the collision which we w nt to find.
A cording to the law of conservation of linear momentum,
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1’ + m2v2’
or, m1 ( v1 - v1’ ) = m2 ( v2 - v2’ ) … … ( 1 )

Thus, in completely inelastic collision, the colliding bodies move jointly with a common velocity.

∴ v1 + v1’ = v2 + v2’ … … … … … ( 3 )
Multiplying equations ( 1 ) and ( 3 ), we get

This shows that the kinetic energy is conserved for e = 1. Hence, elastic collision can also be defined as the one in which e = 1.

( 1 ) For m1 >> m2, neglecting m2 as compared to m1 in the above equations, we get
v1’ v1 and v2’ 2v1 - v2
This shows that the larger sphere continues to move with the same velocity, whereas the velocity of the smaller sphere increases. If the smaller sphere was at rest, it moves with twice the velocity of the larger sphere after the collision.
( 2 ) For m2 >> m1, neglecting m1 as compared to m2 in the above equatio s, we get v2’ ≈ v2 and v1’ ≈ 2v2 - v1 In this case also, the larger sphere continues to move with he same velocity, but the
velocity of the smaller sphere changes.
( i ) If the smaller sphere were moving with twice he speed of the larger sphere, it becomes stationary after the collision.
( ii ) If the smaller sphere were moving with velocity less than twice the velocity of the larger sphere, it continues to move in he same direction, but with decreased speed.
( iii ) If the smaller sphere were moving with velocity more than twice the velocity of the larger sphere, it rebounds and starts moving in the opposite direction with the velocity given as above.
If the larger sphere was stati nary, it remains stationary. In this case, the smaller sphere rebounds and move with the same speed in the reverse direction.
Summarizing the above t o cases, when one of the two spheres colliding is much more massive than the other then he velocity of the larger sphere remains almost the same after the collision, whereas the velocity of the smaller sphere after the collision is almost twice the velocity of larger sphere less the velocity of the smaller sphere before the collision.
( 3 ) If m1 = m2 then v1’ = v2 and v2’ = v1. Thus, in elastic collision of two spheres of equal mass their velocities get exchanged.

5.9 Different forms of energy
Besides mechanical energy, some examples of other forms of nergy are as under.
Internal Energy:
The sum of vibrational kinetic energy and potential energy due to mutual attraction and repulsion between constituent particles of a substa ce is known as internal energy of the body. Due to work done against friction, interna energy and hence temperature of the body increases.
Heat or thermal energy:
The kinetic energy of the constituen particles of a body due to their random motion is known as heat or thermal energy of th body.
The difference between internal energy and heat is analogous to mechanical energy and work. When work is done by body A o body B, mechanical energy of body A decreases and that of body B increases. Similar y, when heat is transferred from body A to body B, internal energy of body A decr ases and that of body B increases.
Chemical energy:
A stable compound has energy less than its constituent elements in free state. This difference is known as c emical energy or chemical binding energy. In a chemical reaction, if the chemical energy of the products is less than that of the reactants, heat is evolved and the reaction is called exothermic. Here, chemical energy got converted into heat energy. Similarly, if the chemical energy of the products is more than that of the reactants, heat is absorbed and the rea tion is called endothermic. Here, heat energy got converted into chemical energy.
Elec rical energy:
The energy associated with electric current is known as electrical energy. When electric current is used in a heater, electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Similarly, in a lamp, it is converted into heat and light energy.
Nuclear energy:
The mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of its constituent protons and neutrons in free state. The energy equivalent to this mass difference is known as nuclear energy or nuclear binding energy. In a nuclear fission reaction, when heavy nuclei like uranium are bombarded by neutrons, they break up into smaller nuclei releasing huge amount of nuclear energy. Such reactions are used in nuclear reactors for producing power and in

atomic weapons. In the Sun and stars, nuclear fusion reaction occurs in which lighter nuclei like protons, deuterons fuse at high temperature to form a helium nucleus releasing huge amount of energy. At the microscopic level, all different forms of energy are in the form of potential and or kinetic energy.
Equivalence of mass and energy
Albert Einstein gave an equation for inter-conversion of mass and energy as under E = mc2, where c = 3 108 m s is the velocity of light in vacuum.
Conservation of energy
“The total energy of an isolated system remains constant.” This i the statement of law of conservation of energy. One form of energy may get converted into nother form or energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. The universe is an isolated system and so the total energy of the universe remains constant.
