Conservative vs.
Nonconservative Forces

Conservative force – total Work on a closed path is zero. (ex: gravity)
Gravity- down
Motion- up

Conservation of Energy

Law of Conservation of Energy – Energy cannot be
created or destroyed, only converted from one form to
another.

This means the amount of energy when everything
started is still the amount of energy in the universe
today! (Just in different forms!)
𝑬𝒇 = π‘¬πŸŽ
Conservation of Mechanical Energy

If non-conservative forces are NOT present (or are
ignored) the total Mechanical Energy initially is equal to
the total Mechanical Energy final.
𝑻𝑴𝑬𝒇 = π‘»π‘΄π‘¬πŸŽ
OR
𝑲𝑬𝒇 + 𝑷𝑬𝒇 = π‘²π‘¬πŸŽ + π‘·π‘¬πŸŽ
Conceptual Example 1: Pendulum

Pendulum - Kinetic and Potential Energy

In the absence of air resistance and friction…
 the

pendulum would swing forever
 example
of conservation of mechanical energy
 Potential
→ Kinetic → Potential and so on…
In reality, air resistance and friction cause mechanical
energy loss, so the pendulum will eventually stop.
Conceptual Example 2: Roller Coaster

Roller Coaster - Kinetic and Potential Energy
With Non-Conservative Forces…

If non-conservative forces (such as friction or air
resistance) ARE present:
𝑴𝑬𝒇 = π‘΄π‘¬πŸŽ + 𝑾𝒏𝒄

Be careful: Work done by friction is always negative!
(Friction always opposes the motion)

So if friction is present, there is mechanical energy loss.
(The energy is converted into heat and sound.)

Problem Solving Insights


Determine if non-conservative forces are included.
 If
yes: MEf = ME0 + Wnc
 If
no:
(We won’t be solving this type)
MEf = ME0
Eliminate pieces that are zero before solving
 Key
words: starts from rest (KE0 = 0), ends on the ground
(PEf = 0), etc.
Example 1

A 2.00kg rock is released from rest from a height of 20.0 m.
Ignore air resistance & determine the kinetic, potential, &
mechanical energy at each of the following heights: 20.0 m,
12.0m, 0m (Round g to 10 m/s2 for ease)

Start Here
2*10*20 = 400 J
400 J
12.0 m
400-240 = 160 J
2*10*12 = 240 J
400 J
0m
400-0 = 400 J
2*10*0 = 0 J

3. 𝑣 = 0 at the top, so 𝐾𝐸 = 0 𝐽

𝑀𝐸 = 1920 𝐽
𝑃𝐸 = 1920 − 0 = 1920 𝐽
1920 = 60 9.8 β„Ž so β„Ž ≈ 3.3 π‘š
𝐾𝐸 = 60 8 2 = 1920 𝐽
𝑀𝐸 = 0 + 1920 = 1920 𝐽
2. β„Ž = 1, so 𝑃𝐸 = 60 9.8 1 = 588 𝐽
𝑀𝐸 = 1920 𝐽
𝐾𝐸 = 1920 − 588 = 1332 𝐽

Bob pushes a box across a horizontal surface at a constant
speed of 1 m/s. If the box has a mass of 30 kg, find the power
Bob supplies if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3.

Since a=0, the pushing force must be equal to the kinetic
friction.
