Work
A force acting on an object can do
work on the object when the object moves.
Слайд 4
When an object is displaced on a
frictionless, horizontal surface, the normal force n and the
gravitational force mg do no work on the object. In the situation shown here, F is the only force doing work on the object.

Слайд 8
Work done by a spring
If the spring is
either stretched or compressed a small distance from its
unstretched (equilibrium) configuration, it exerts on the block a force that can be expressed as
Слайд 11
Work of a spring
So the work done by
a spring from one arbitrary position to another is:
Слайд 12
Kinetic energy
Work is a mechanism for transferring energy
into a system. One of the possible outcomes of
doing work on a system is that the system changes its speed.
Let’s take a body and a force acting upon it:
Using Newton’s second law, we can substitute for the magnitude of the net force
and then perform the following chain-rule manipulations on the integrand:
Слайд 13
And finally:
This equation was generated for the specific
situation of one-dimensional motion, but it is a general
result. It tells us that the work done by the net force on a particle of mass m is equal to the difference between the initial and final values of a quantity
Слайд 15
Conservative and Nonconcervative Forces
Forces for which the work
is independent of the path are called conservative forces.
Forces for which the work depends on the path are called nonconservative forces
The work done by a conservative force in moving an object along any closed path is zero.
Слайд 16
Examples
Conservative Forces:
Spring
central forces
Gravity
Electrostatic forces
Nonconcervative Forces:
Various kinds of
Friction
Слайд 17
Gravity is a conservative force:
An object of
moves from point A to point B on an
inclined plane under the intluence of gravity. Gravity does positive (or negative) work on the object as it move down (or up) the plane.
The object now moves from point A to point B by a different path: a vertical motion from point A to point C followed by a horizontal movement from C to B. The work done by gravity is exactly the same as in part (a).
Слайд 18
Friction is a nonconcervative force:
Слайд 19
Power
Power P is the rate at which work
is done:
Слайд 20
Potential Energy
Potential energy is the energy possessed by
a system by virtue of position or condition.
We
call the particular function U for any given conservative force the potential energy for that force.
Remember the minus in the formula above.
Слайд 23
Conservation of mechanical energy
E = K + U(x)
= ½ mv2 + U(x) is called total mechanical
energy
If a system is
isolated (no energy transfer across its boundaries)
having no nonconservative forces within
then the mechanical energy of such a system is constant.
Слайд 24
Linear momentum
Let’s consider two interacting particles:
and their accelerations
are:
using definition of acceleration:
masses are constant:
Слайд 25
So the total sum of quantities mv for
an isolated system is conserved – independent of time.
This
quantity is called linear momentum.
Слайд 26
General form for Newton’s second law:
It means that
the time rate of change of the linear momentum
of a particle is equal to the net for force acting on the particle.
The kinetic energy of an object can also be expressed in terms of the momentum:
Слайд 27
The law of linear momentum conservation
The sum of
the linear momenta of an isolated system of objects
is a constant, no matter what forces act between the objects making up the system.
Слайд 28
Impulse-momentum theorem
The impulse of the force F acting
on a particle equals the change in the momentum
of the particle.
Quantity is called the impulse of the force F.
Слайд 29
Collisions
Let’s study the following types of collisions:
Perfectly elastic
collisions:
no mass transfer from one object to another
Kinetic
energy conserves (all the kinetic energy before collision goes to the kinetic energy after collision)
Perfectly inelastic collisions: two objects merge into one. Maximum kinetic loss.
Слайд 31
Denoting
We can obtain from (5)
Here Ui and Uf
are initial and final relative velocities.
So the last equation
says that when the collision is elastic, the relative velocity of the colliding objects changes sign but does not change magnitude.
