Work and Energy
Chapter 7
Conservation of Energy
Energy is a quantity that can be
converted from one form to another but
cannot be created or destroyed.
 The total amount of energy present in
any process remains the same.

Work
Has a very specific definition in physics.
 Involves a force moving a body through
a displacement.
 If the force is in the same direction as the
motion,

W  Fs

3
Vector equation for work

If the force is directed at an angle to
the displacement, then only the
component of the force that is parallel
to the displacement does work.

Vector equation for work
Important – work is a scalar quantity,
not a vector, even though it is derived
from two vectors.
 Work does not have a direction.

Physics chapter 7

Work

If  is between 0° and 90°, cos  is
positive, so work done is positive.

If  is between 90° and 180°, cos  is
negative, so work done is negative.

If  is 90°, cos  is zero, so work done
is zero.

Work and energy with varying
forces
The equations we’ve developed so far
for work involve constant forces and
motion along a straight line.
 Now let’s look at varying forces.
 We could also look at motion along
curved lines, but we would need to use
integrals, which you don’t know how to
do yet.

Physics chapter 7
11
The spring force

The farther you stretch a spring, the harder
it is to stretch.
 The force you must apply follows the
following equation, known as Hooke’s Law
Fx  kx

Where k is called the force constant of the
spring or the spring constant. k has units of
N/m

attached to a horizontal spring with a
force constant of 400 N/m. The spring

unstretched length, 12.0 J of work must
be done. How much work must be done
to compress this spring 4.00 cm from its
unstretched length?

Where does kinetic energy come
from?
If an object falls off a cliff, gravity does
work on it as it falls, and increases its
kinetic energy.
 But where does that energy come from?

Physics chapter 7
26
Potential Energy
Energy seems to be stored in some form
related to height.
 This energy is related to the position of a
body, not its motion.
 It is called potential energy. – measures
potential or possibility for work to be
done.
 (Some kinds of potential energy are
related to things other than height.)

Physics chapter 7
27
Work done by gravity

Work done by gravity as a body falls
from height y1 to height y2.
Wgrav  Fs cos0  Fs

 w y1  y2 
 mgy1  mgy2

Also works if object is rising – then y2 is
greater than y1, so the work is negative,
as it should be.
Physics chapter 7
28
Gravitational Potential Energy

We define the gravitational potential
energy as
U  m gy

So, the work done by gravity is
Wgrav  U1 U2  U 2  U1 

Conservation of Mechanical
Energy
E  K  U  constant

When only gravity does work, the total
mechanical energy is constant.
Physics chapter 7
31
Where do I measure y from?
Wherever you want.
 It is only the change in potential energy
that we are interested in, not the value of
U at a particular point.
 So choose your zero potential energy
point wherever it is convenient.

Example

Standing near the edge of the roof of a 12-m
high building, you kick a ball with an initial
speed of vi = 16 m/s at an angle of 60° above
the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, use

8.0 m long slide inclined at 30° above
the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the slide and the child is
0.35. If the child starts from rest at the
top of the slide, how fast is she traveling
when she reaches the bottom?

The shape of the path makes no
difference for gravitational potential
potential energy.

conservation of energy.
