Quiz
• In lab, you lift a 2 kg mass from the floor and
put it on top of the lab bench which is 92.5 cm
high.
• A) How much work did you do?
• B) How much work did the gravitational force
do?
• C) Where did the energy go that you put in as
work?
Answers
• d = 0.925 m, FLIFT = mg
WLIFT  Fd cos   Fd cos 00  mgd 
 2.0*9.8*.925  18.1 J
• Work done by gravity

• Where did the energy you transferred go?
Gravitational Potential Energy
• Book and the earth are the system, but do not
form an isolated system because we are
reaching in through the walls of the box.
E  W  Q
E  K  U g  0  (U gf  U gi )  W  mg y
U g  mg y
or U g  mgy
Note that ΔU depends only upon Δy, not on the path
the object took moving from the floor to the bench
top. No dependence upon x.
Problem 10:1 During an etiquette class, you walk
slowly and steadily at 0.20 m/s for 2.5 m with a 0.75
kg book balanced on your head. How much work
does your head do on the book?
Elastic Potential Energy
• Force exerted by a spring depends on how far
it has been stretched. Not a constant force.
FS  kx
• Stretch spring from xi =0 to xf = x. The average
force during this process of stretching is

Where does this energy go?
Stored in spring and we can get it back out.
Hence we call the energy stored in the spring
potential energy, US = ½kx2.
Using Energy Conservation
1. Define system
2. Set Ei =Ef if system is isolated

Problem 10:20
• A pendulum is made by tying a 500g ball to a
75-cm-long string. The pendulum is pulled 300
to one side and then released.
• A) What is the ball’s speed at the lowest point
in its trajectory?
• B) To what angle does the pendulum swing on
the other side.
Problem 10:20
• Use energy conservation

Problem 10:24
• A student places her 500g physics textbook on
a frictionless table. She pushes the book
against a spring 4.00cm and then releases the
book. What is the book’s speed as it slides
away? The spring constant is k = 1250 N/m.
Problem 10:24
• Use energy conservation
U Si  K i  U sf  K f
• We want to find Kf .
