Power
• Measure of how fast work
is done
• In equation form:
work done
Power =
time interval
Unit of power
• joule per second, called the
watt after James Watt,
developer of the steam
engine
• 1 joule/second  1
• 1 kilowatt  1000
Power
• The unit of power is the
watt, which is defined as
1 watt = 1 W = 1 J/s
• Energy is measured by
Ontario Hydro in kWh
“kiloWatt hours”.
• 1 kWh is the amount of energy used by a
power of
over
• 1 kWh = 1000 J/s * 60 min/hour * 60 s/min
• 1 kWh =
Joules
[Chart downloaded from http://www.ontario-hydro.com/index.php?page=current_rates ]
• Example: Your clothes dryer uses 5000 Watts and you
need to run it for 1 hour to dry your clothes.
• If you run it during “on peak” time, such as between 7 and
11am on a weekday, the cost is 12 cents/kWh.
• If you run it during “off peak” on the weekend the price for
Ontario Hydro electricity is 6 cents/kWh.
• How much money do you save per load by doing your
laundry on the weekend?
Elastic Potential Energy
Stored energy held in readiness with
a potential for doing work
Examples:
• A stretched bow has stored energy
that can do
on an arrow.
• A stretched rubber band of a slingshot
has stored energy and is capable of
doing
.
• Demonstration: A mousetrap that is
“set” has elastic potential energy that
is capable of killing the mouse!
Gravitational Potential Energy
Potential energy due to elevated position
Example:
• coffee mug on the top
shelf
• In equation form:
Potential energy
 mass  acceleration due to
gravity  height
𝑈𝑔 =
Demonstration
A rectangular solid such as a domino has more
gravitational potential energy when it is tipped up on
its edge, because its centre of mass is higher
The energy is added to
the domino by the
work you do in

Gravitational Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy
• Energy of motion
• Depends on the mass of the object and square of
its speed:
If object speed is doubled  kinetic energy is
quadrupled.
History Question

who first advocated the correct equation for kinetic
energy. Who was this physicist?
A. Du Châtelet
B. Einstein
C. Galileo
D. Leibniz

Work and Kinetic Energy
• If an object starts from rest and there is a net
force doing work on it, the work done will be
equal to the
of the object.
• In equation form:
1
𝐹𝑑 = 𝑚𝑣 2

Work-Energy Theorem
Work-energy theorem
• Gain or reduction of energy is the result of work.
• In equation form: work  change in kinetic
energy (W  K).
• Doubling speed of an object requires times
the work.
Work-Energy Theorem
• Applies to decreasing speed:
– reducing the speed of an object or bringing it
to a halt
Example: Applying the brakes
to slow a moving car, work is
done on it (the friction force
supplied by the brakes 
distance).
Work-Energy Theorem

force of tire friction  stopping distance. If the initial speed
of the car is doubled, the stopping distance is

actually less.
about the same.
twice.
None of the above.
Chapter 7 big idea:
“Conservation of Energy”
• A system of particles has a total energy, E.
• If the system is isolated, meaning that there
is no work or heat being added or removed
from the system, then:
• This means the energy is “conserved”; it
doesn’t change over
.
• This is also the first law of thermodynamics;
“You can’t get something for nothing.”

Discussion Question on
Conservation of Energy

nothing touching it.

and the kinetic energy of the shot arrow is 40 joules. Then
A.
B.
C.
D.
energy is not conserved.
10 joules go to warming the bow.
10 joules go to warming the target.
10 joules are mysteriously missing.
Machines
Principles of a machine:
• Conservation of energy concept:
input 
output
• Input force  input distance 
Output force  output distance
• (Force  distance)input  (force  distance)output
Simplest machine:
• Lever
– rotates on a point of support called the
fulcrum
– allows
force over a large distance and
force over a short distance
Efficiency
• Percentage of work put into a machine that is
converted into useful work output
• In equation form:
Efficiency 

100 J, and total energy input is 200 J, what is the
efficiency?
A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 75%
D. 100%
E. 200%
Recycled Energy
• Re-employment of
energy that otherwise
would be wasted.
• Edison used heat from
his power plant in New
York City to heat
buildings.
• Typical power plants waste about
of their
energy to
because they are built away from
buildings and other places that use heat.
Sources of Energy
Example:
• Photovoltaic cells
on rooftops catch
the solar energy
and convert it to
electricity.
More energy from the Sun hits Earth in 1 hour than all of
the energy consumed by humans in an entire year!
Sources of Energy
Concentrated energy
• Nuclear power
– stored in uranium and plutonium
– doesn’t pollute our atmosphere
– creates radioactive waste which, if stored
near humans, can be toxic.

Rolling Without Slipping
 Under normal driving
conditions, the portion of the
rolling wheel that contacts
the surface is stationary, not
sliding
 In this case the speed of
the centre of the wheel is:
𝐶
𝑣=
𝑇
where C = circumference [m]
and T = Period [s]
 If your car is accelerating or decelerating or turning,
it is
of the road on the wheels that
provides the net force which accelerates the car

Rotational Inertia
• An object rotating about
an axis tends to remain
rotating about the same
axis at the same
rotational speed unless
interfered with by some
external influence.
• The property of an object to resist changes
in its rotational state of motion is called
(symbol I).

Rotational Inertia
Depends upon:
•
of object.
•
of mass
around axis of rotation.
– The greater the distance
between an object’s mass
concentration and the axis,
the greater the rotational
inertia.
Rotational Inertia
Which pencil has the largest
rotational inertia?
A. The pencil rotated around an
axis passing through it.
B. The pencil rotated around a
vertical axis passing through
centre.
C. The pencil rotated around
vertical axis passing through
the end.
Torque
• The tendency of a force to
cause
is called
torque.
• Torque depends upon three factors:
–
of the force
– The
in which it acts
– The point at which it is applied on the object

• Centre of mass is the average position of all the
that makes up the object.
• Centre of gravity (CG) is the average position of
distribution.
– Since weight and mass are proportional, centre of
gravity and centre of mass usually refer to the same
point of an object.
Centripetal Acceleration

of 100 km/hr. Without speeding up of
slowing down, it is turning left, following
the curve in the highway. What is the

Centripetal Force
• Any force directed toward a fixed
is
called a
force.
• Centripetal means “centre-seeking” or
“toward the centre.”
Example: To whirl a tin can at
the end of a string, you pull
the string toward the centre
and exert a centripetal
force to keep the can
moving in a circle.
Centripetal Force
• Depends upon
– mass of object, m.
– tangential speed of the object, v.
– radius of the circle, r.
• In equation form:
𝐹=
Centripetal Force
CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR
Suppose you double the speed at which you round a
bend in the curve, by what factor must the centripetal
force change to prevent you from skidding?
A. Double
B. Four times
C. Half
D. One-quarter
Centrifugal Force
• Although centripetal force is centre directed, an
occupant inside a rotating system seems to
experience an outward force.
• This apparent outward force is called
force.
• Centrifugal means “centre-fleeing” or “away from
the centre.”

Rotating Reference Frames
• Centrifugal force in a
is a force in its own right – feels as
real as any other force, e.g. gravity.
• Example:
– The bug at the bottom of the can experiences
a pull toward the bottom of the can.
Angular Momentum
• The “inertia of rotation” of rotating objects is
called angular momentum.
– This is analogous to “inertia of motion”, which was
momentum.
• Angular momentum
 rotational inertia  rotational velocity
𝐿=
– This is analogous to
Linear momentum  mass  velocity
𝑝 = 𝑚𝑣
Conservation of Angular Momentum
The law of conservation of angular momentum
states:
If no external net torque acts on a rotating
system, the angular momentum of that
system remains constant.
Analogous to the law of conservation of linear
momentum:
If no external force acts on a system, the total linear
momentum of that system remains constant.
