Work and Energy Unit

Energy• The ability to do work or

cause change• Can be transferred into

other forms (energy flow)• Is conserved (can neither

be created nor destroyed)• SI Unit is Joules • Anything with energy can

produce a force that is capable acting over a distance

Work• Force times distance the force

is applied (W = Fd cos theta)

• When work is done, energy is transferred, stored or used (a change occurs)

• SI Unit is Joules 

• Work is done by forces

• The object must move for work to be done

• Positive work is done in the direction of the displacement.

Power

• The rate at which energy is transferred or work is done (work per second)

• SI Unit is Watts (Joules/second)

• The faster the energy is used, the greater the power

• More powerful if – more work is done in same

time– same work is done in less

time 

Work• Positive work is work done

by a force acting in the direction of the displacement (or motion).

(example: force applied by engine to wheels of a car)

• Negative work is work done by force acting in the opposite direction of the displacement (or motion)

(example: Friction)

LT 3

I can identify the difference between positive and negative work.

Work• Another way of looking at

this…

• Positive work adds energy to the system

• Negative work takes away energy from the system

6.1 Work = force × distance

Did the weightlifter do work on the barbell and weights? •Yes, when he first lifted them above his head.

Is the weightlifter currently doing work on the barbell and weights?

No, the barbell and weights are not moving.

•Explain two ways that the work done by the weightlifter might be increased.

9.1 Work = force × distance

1) Increase the weight on the ends of the barbell

2) Increase the distance over which the weightlifter pushes the barbell and weights.

Work has the same units as energy

Joules Newton x meter

J N x m

9.1 Work

•One joule (J) of work is done when a force of 1 N is exerted over a distance of 1 m (lifting an apple over your head).

What happens to KE and TME when the brakes are applied? What work is being

done?

Watch the transfer of KE and PE.

What happens to the PE when the skier moves down the hill?

What happens to the KE and TME when the skier travels over the unpacked snow?

What work is done?

Jet engine vs. lawn mower engine

Both receive ½ gallon of fuel (same energy, same work)•A high-power jet engine does work rapidly, uses ½ gallon in 1 second.•The low-powered lawn mower engine does work slowly, using ½ gallon in 30 minutes.

9.2 Power

vs.

Power is the rate at which work is done or the force applied at a certain rate of speed (P = Fv)

9.2 Power

The unit of power is the joule per second, also known as the watt.

One watt (W) of power is expended when one joule of work is done in one second.

One kilowatt (kW) equals 1000 watts. One megawatt (MW) equals one million watts.

P = w/t

Power• When you run 3 km rather than

walk, you use the energy more quickly because your body demands more energy per unit time.

• When you compare the amount of energy required to operate an electric dryer vs. a laptop computer, the electric dryer demands more energy per unit time.

• More energy per unit time means more power is required!

How much electrical energy per second?

Kinetic Energy

• The energy of motion

• KE = ½m x v2

• Different forms of KE (mechanical, electrical, thermal, electromagnetic or light)

What is kinetic energy?

What are the forms of KE?

Kinetic Energy (mechanical)

KE increases with speed

KE increases with mass

WIND ENERGY

• Atmospheric pressure differences cause air particles to move.

SOUND ENERGY

• Energy caused by compression of air particles.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

• Energy of moving charged particles.

THERMAL ENERGY

• The energy of moving and vibrating molecules

• Sometimes called heat.

LIGHT or RADIANT ENERGY

• Energy that travels in waves as electromagnetic radiation and/or as photons.

When you throw a ball, you do work on it to give it speed as it leaves your hand. The moving ball can then hit something and push it, doing work on what it hits.

9.5 Kinetic Energy

WORK

If the speed of an object is doubled, its kinetic energy is quadrupled (22 = 4).

• It takes four times the work to double the speed. • An object moving twice as fast takes four times as much

work to stop and will take four times as much distance to stop.

Potential Energy

• Stored energy or the energy of position

• Gravitational PE is based on height and mass

• Gravitational PE is mass x gravity x height (GPE = mgh)

• Increases in height cause increases in stored energy

What is potential energy?

How does GPE change?

Gravitational Potential Energy

•Energy is stored in an object as the result of increasing its height. •Work is required to elevate objects against Earth’s gravity. •Example: Water in an elevated reservoir and the raised ram of a pile driver have gravitational potential energy.

9.4 Potential Energy

The amount of gravitational potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to the work done against gravity to lift it.

PE = mgh

What is the gravitational PE of a 10.0 kg object at 4.00 m above the ground?

Difference between kinetic energy and potential energy

Kinetic energy 

The energy of motion

Potential energy

The energy of position or stored energy

Mechanical Energy

• The sum of the KE and PE in a system: (total ME = KE + PE)

• Describes energy associated with the motion of objects

• The KE and GPE are conserved for moving objects (neglecting friction, drag, vibrations and sound)

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical Energy = PE + KE

• The total mechanical energy = 100 J

100 J = 100 J PE + 0 J KE

100 J = 50 J PE + 50 J KE

100 J = 0 J PE + 100 J KE

• Energy not associated with the motion of objects

• Typical examples are vibrations, sound and heat

• Referred to as dissipated energy or waste energy

• Can be “observed” at the molecular level

• Path of energy transfer that reduces the KE of the object

Work – Energy Theorem

• Work done changes the energy. If a car has 34,000 J of KE, 34,000 J of work was done on the car to speed it up, and braking will require 34,000 J of negative work due to friction to bring the car to rest

Answer:

Nine times farther. The car has nine times as much kinetic energy when it travels three times as fast:

9.6 Work-Energy Theorem

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes.

9.7 Conservation of Energy

For any system in its entirety—as simple as a swinging pendulum or as complex as an exploding galaxy—there is one quantity that does not change: energy. Energy may change form, but the total energy stays the same.

9.7 Conservation of Energy

Same energy transformation applies

The 2 J of heat can be called non-useful work (work that is not part of the object’s total mechanical energy).

10 J of PE does 8 J useful work on the arrow and 2 J of non-useful work on the molecules that compose the bow and string and arrow. The arrow has 8 J of KE as a result.

Dissipated energy (DE) is amount of energy transferred away from the total mechanical energy. More DE means less KE, which reduces TME, which means less speed!

When the woman leaps from the burning building, the sum of her PE and KE remains constant at each successive position all the way down to the ground.

9.7 Conservation of Energy

Elastic potential energy will become the kinetic energy of the arrow when the bow does work on the arrow.

9.7 Conservation of Energy

As you draw back the arrow in a bow, you do work stretching the bow.

The bow then has potential energy. When released, the arrow has kinetic energy equal to this potential energy. It delivers this energy to its target.

Everywhere along the path of the pendulum bob, the sum of PE and KE is the same. Because of the work done against friction, this energy will eventually be transformed into heat.

9.7 Conservation of Energy

Non-useful work can also be called non-useful energy!
