Chapter 7: Work and Energy Chapter 7 Lecture Chapter 7: Work and Energy © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Goals for Chapter 7 • Overview energy. • Study work as defined in physics. • Relate work to kinetic energy. • Consider work done by a variable force. • Study potential energy. • Understand energy conservation. • Include time and the relationship of work to power. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Introduction • In previous chapters, we studied motion. • We used Newton's three laws to understand the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. • Sometimes this can be hard. • We introduce energy as the next step. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. An Overview of Energy • Energy is conserved. • Kinetic energy describes motion and relates to the mass of the object and its speed squared. • Energy on earth originates from the sun. • Energy on earth is stored thermally and chemically. • Chemical energy is released by metabolism. • Energy is stored as potential energy in object height and mass and also through elastic deformation. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. A Study of Energy Transformation – Figure 7.4 • This transformation begins as elastic potential energy in the elastomer. It then becomes kinetic energy as the projectile flies upward. During the upward flight, kinetic energy becomes potential until at the top of the flight, all the energy is potential. Finally, the stored potential energy changes back to kinetic energy as the projectile falls. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Internal Energy Can be "Lost" as Heat • Atoms and molecules of a solid can be thought of as particles vibration randomly on spring like bonds. This vibration is an an example of internal energy. • Energy can be dissipated by heat (motion transferred at the molecular level). This is referred to as dissipation. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. What is "Work" as Defined in Physics? • Formally, work is the product of a constant force F through a parallel displacement s. • Work is the product of the component of the force in the direction of displacement and the magnitude s of the displacement. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Consider Only Parallel F and S – Figure 7.9 • Forces applied at angles must be resolved into components. • W is a scalar quantity that can be positive, zero, or negative. • If W > 0 (W < 0), energy is added to (taken from) the system. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Applications of Force and Resultant Work – Figure 7.10 © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Sliding on a Ramp – Example 7.2 • Please refer to the worked example at the bottom of page 186. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work Done By Several Forces – Example 7.3 © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work and Kinetic Energy • Unbalanced work causes kinematics. • Work-energy theorem: • The kinetic energy K of a particle with mass m moving with speed is During any displacement of the particle, the work done by the net external force on it is equal to its change in kinetic energy. • Although Ks are always positive, Wtotal may be positive, negative, or zero (energy added to, taken away, or left the same). • If Wtotal = 0, then the kinetic energy does not change and the speed of the particle remains constant. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work and Energy Related – Example 7.4 • Using work and energy to calculate speed. • Returning to the tractor pulling a sled problem of Example 7.3: • If you know the initial speed, and the total work done, you can determine the final speed after displacement s. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. A Pile Driver Application – Example 7.5 • Refer to the worked example on pages 191–192. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work Done By a Varying Force • In Section 7.2, we defined work done by a constant force. • Work by a changing force is sometimes considered. • On a graph of force as a function of position, the total work done by the force is represented by the area under the curve between the initial and final positions. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work Done By a Varying Force • In Section 5.4, we learned that force due to elongation/ compression of a spring followed Hooke's law: • As seen, this is a prime example of a varying force. The work done by a stretching/compressing a spring is equal to the area of the shaded triangle, or © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Work Done on a Spring Scale – Example 7.6 • Energy may be stored in compressed springs on a bathroom scale. • Refer to the worked example on page 194. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • Feeling Joules and Watts
    FEELING JOULES AND WATTS OVERVIEW & PURPOSE Power was originally measured in horsepower – literally the number of horses it took to do a particular amount of work. James Watt developed this term in the 18th century to compare the output of steam engines to the power of draft horses. This allowed people who used horses for work on a regular basis to have an intuitive understanding of power. 1 horsepower is about 746 watts. In this lab, you’ll learn about energy, work and power – including your own capacity to do work. Energy is the ability to do work. Without energy, nothing would grow, move, or ​ change. Work is using a force to move something over some distance. ​ ​ work = force x distance Energy and work are measured in joules. One joule equals the work done (or energy ​ ​ used) when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. One newton equals the ​ ​ force required to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared. How much energy would it take to lift a can of soda (weighing 4 newtons) up two meters? work = force x distance = 4N x 2m = 8 joules Whether you lift the can of soda quickly or slowly, you are doing 8 joules of work (using 8 joules of energy). It’s often helpful, though, to measure how quickly we are ​ ​ doing work (or using energy). Power is the amount of work (or energy used) in a given ​ ​ amount of time. http://www.rdcep.org/demo-collection page 1 work power = time Power is measured in watts. One watt equals one joule per second.

  • Maximum Frictional Dissipation and the Information Entropy of Windspeeds
    J. Non-Equilib. Thermodyn. 2002 Vol. 27 pp. 229±238 Á Á Maximum Frictional Dissipation and the Information Entropy of Windspeeds Ralph D. Lorenz Lunar and Planetary Lab, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA Communicated by A. Bejan, Durham, NC, USA Registration Number 926 Abstract A link is developed between the work that thermally-driven winds are capable of performing and the entropy of the windspeed history: this information entropy is minimized when the minimum work required to transport the heat by wind is dissipated. When the system is less constrained, the information entropy of the windspeed record increases as the windspeed ¯uctuates to dissipate its available work. Fluctuating windspeeds are a means for the system to adjust to a peak in entropy production. 1. Introduction It has been long-known that solar heating is the driver of winds [1]. Winds represent the thermodynamic conversion of heat into work: this work is expended in accelerat- ing airmasses, with that kinetic energy ultimately dissipated by turbulent drag. Part of the challenge of the weather forecaster is to predict the speed and direction of wind. In this paper, I explore how the complexity of wind records (and more generally, of velocity descriptions of thermally-driven ¯ow) relates to the available work and the frictional or viscous dissipation. 2. Zonal Energy Balance Two linked heat ¯uxes drive the Earth's weather ± the vertical transport of heat upwards, and the transport of heat from low to high latitudes. In the present paper only horizontal transport is considered, although the concepts may be extended by analogy into the vertical dimension.

  • Work-Energy for a System of Particles and Its Relation to Conservation Of
    Conservation of Energy, the Work-Energy Principle, and the Mechanical Energy Balance In your study of engineering and physics, you will run across a number of engineering concepts related to energy. Three of the most common are Conservation of Energy, the Work-Energy Principle, and the Mechanical Engineering Balance. The Conservation of Energy is treated in this course as one of the overarching and fundamental physical laws. The other two concepts are special cases and only apply under limited conditions. The purpose of this note is to review the pedigree of the Work-Energy Principle, to show how the more general Mechanical Energy Bal- ance is developed from Conservation of Energy, and finally to describe the conditions under which the Mechanical Energy Balance is preferred over the Work-Energy Principle. Work-Energy Principle for a Particle Consider a particle of mass m and velocity V moving in a gravitational field of strength g sub- G ject to a surface force Rsurface . Under these conditions, writing Conservation of Linear Momen- tum for the particle gives the following: d mV= R+ mg (1.1) dt ()Gsurface Forming the dot product of Eq.

Notation and Sign Convention In these Lecture Notes we examine the basis of thermodynamics – fundamental definitions and equations for energy, heat, and work. 3-1. Energy. Two of man's earliest observations was that: 1)useful work could be accomplished by exerting a force through a distance and that the product of force and distance was proportional to the expended effort, and 2)heat could be ‘felt’ in when close or in contact with a warm body. There were many explanations for this second observation including that of invisible particles traveling through space1. It was not until the early beginnings of modern science and molecular theory that scientists discovered a true physical understanding of ‘heat flow’. It was later that a few notable individuals, including James Prescott Joule, discovered through experiment that work and heat were the same phenomenon and that this phenomenon was energy: Energy is the capacity, either latent or apparent, to exert a force through a distance. The presence of energy is indicated by the macroscopic characteristics of the physical or chemical structure of matter such as its pressure, density, or temperature - properties of matter. The concept of hot versus cold arose in the distant past as a consequence of man's sense of touch or feel. Observations show that, when a hot and a cold substance are placed together, the hot substance gets colder as the cold substance gets hotter.

  • Work, Power, & Energy
    WORK, POWER, & ENERGY In physics, work is done when a force acting on an object causes it to move a distance. There are several good examples of work which can be observed everyday - a person pushing a grocery cart down the aisle of a grocery store, a student lifting a backpack full of books, a baseball player throwing a ball. In each case a force is exerted on an object that caused it to move a distance. Work (Joules) = force (N) x distance (m) or W = f d The metric unit of work is one Newton-meter ( 1 N-m ). This combination of units is given the name JOULE in honor of James Prescott Joule (1818-1889), who performed the first direct measurement of the mechanical equivalent of heat energy. The unit of heat energy, CALORIE, is equivalent to 4.18 joules, or 1 calorie = 4.18 joules Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause movement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. The quantity which has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The metric unit of power is the WATT. As is implied by the equation for power, a unit of power is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time. Thus, a watt is equivalent to a joule/second. For historical reasons, the horsepower is occasionally used to describe the power delivered by a machine.

  • Chapter 07: Kinetic Energy and Work Conservation of Energy Is One of Nature’S Fundamental Laws That Is Not Violated
    Chapter 07: Kinetic Energy and Work Conservation of Energy is one of Nature’s fundamental laws that is not violated. Energy can take on different forms in a given system. This chapter we will discuss work and kinetic energy. If we put energy into the system by doing work, this additional energy has to go somewhere. That is, the kinetic energy increases or as in next chapter, the potential energy increases. The opposite is also true when we take energy out of a system. the grand total of all forms of energy in a given system is (and was, and will be) a constant. Exam 2 Review • Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10. • A majority of the Exam (~75%) will be on Chapters 7 and 8 (problems, quizzes, and concepts) • Chapter 9 lectures and problems • Chapter 10 lecture Different forms of energy Kinetic Energy: Potential Energy: linear motion gravitational rotational motion spring compression/tension electrostatic/magnetostatic chemical, nuclear, etc.... Mechanical Energy is the sum of Kinetic energy + Potential energy. (reversible process) Friction will convert mechanical energy to heat. Basically, this (conversion of mechanical energy to heat energy) is a non-reversible process. Chapter 07: Kinetic Energy and Work Kinetic Energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. m: mass and v: speed SI unit of energy: 1 joule = 1 J = 1 kg.m2/s2 Work Work is energy transferred to or from an object by means of a force acting on the object. Formal definition: *Special* case: Work done by a constant force: W = ( F cos θ) d = F d cos θ Component of F in direction of d Work done on an object moving with constant velocity? constant velocity => acceleration = 0 => force = 0 => work = 0 Consider 1-D motion.

  • Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy Principle
    Class 15 Quiz on Wednesday. Sec 202 will meet in Pasteur 301, around the corner from the Tutoring center in Southwick Wed. Clicker Question. Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy Principle The definition of Energy Energy is different from all other concepts in physics in that there is no single definition for it. Instead there are many different kinds of energy. Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy is energy associated with motion. If we uses Newton's laws to compute the work done in accelerating an object, over a certain distance, it turns out that the work is 1 1 W = mv 2− m v 2 net 2 2 2 1 If we define kinetic energy as 1 KE= m v2 2 the result is the work-energy principle The work done in changing the state of motion of an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy. W net =KE 2−KE 1= KE This relationship is not anything which is not contained in Newton's laws, it is a restatement in terms of energy, and make many problems much easier to solve. 1 Class 15 Potential Energy While Kinetic energy is associated with motion potential energy is associated with position. Whereas kinetic energy has an obvious zero, when the velocity is zero, potential energy is only defined as a change. Potential energy itself has come in different kinds. Gravitational Potential Energy As with kinetic energy we start with the net work done when we lift an object, without any acceleration. If we calculate the work done by an external force in lifting the object shown above we get W ext=F ext d cos0=mg∗ y2− y1 (6.) We can also compute the work done by gravity in the same process.
