UNIT 10: WORK AND ENERGYApproximate Classroom Time: Three 100 minute sessions
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not
enough; we must do."Bruce Lee
OBJECTIVES
1. To extend the intuitive notion of work as physical effort
to a formal mathematical definition of work as a function
of force and distance.
2. To develop an understanding of the physical significance
of mathematical integration.
3. To understand the concept of power and its relationship
to work.
4. To understand the concept of kinetic energy and its rela-
tionship to work as embodied in the work-energy theorem.
5. To relate experimentally determined kinetic energy loss
to frictional loss.
6. To apply concepts involving the conservation of momen-
tum, work, and energy to the analysis of breaking boards
in Karate.

Will not do Session 3 of Unit 10.
It is a Karate thing.
You can do it as a “project” in Unit 14 instead of the assigned project on the pendulum.
Stuff you asked about:
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ALL THE INTEGRALS?????? HELP :(Why is it necessary to use integrals in the equa6on for work? everything. everything is difficultEverything is fine except the work done by Gravity far from earth The slides had a lot of informa6on that was confusing and it flew by. I
didn't have 6me to understand what was going on. The dot product is ocnfusingPre`y much everything. This prelecture sort of went over my head. I'll
definitely have to watch it again. The concept of posi6ve and nega6ve work is very confusing. please
explainUh oh. Hotdog.
Mechanics Lecture 7, Slide 2
I hope you have enough funny quotes to fit into your slides.
Stuff you asked about:
Does work also define a change in poten6al energy? For the last checkpoint ques6on, the poten6al energy is changing as the car moves up the slope. Would this effect the quan6ty of work?
Can we go over and work out some actual problems using dot product and the equa6ons used in the prelecture next class? Not just concept ques6ons but ones that would be similar to our homework ques6ons as well.
Can we go over Ques6on 1 in the prelecture? I think I'm missing something in the ques6on or something, but it doesn't se`le well with me.

Work-Kinetic Energy TheoremThe work done by the net force F as it acts on an object that moves between posi6ons r1 and r2 is equal to the change in the object’s kine6c energy:

If the force is constant and the direc6ons aren’t changing then this is very simple to evaluate:

A car drives up a hill with constant speed. Which statement best describes the total work WTOT done on the car by all forces as it moves up the hill?
A) WTOT = 0
B) WTOT > 0

A box sits on the horizontal bed of a moving truck. Sta6c fric6on between the box and the truck keeps the box from sliding around as the truck drives.

The work done on the box by the sta6c fric6onal force as the truck moves a distance D is:
A) Posi6ve B) Zero C) Nega6ve D) Depends
D
A) because the direc6on of the sta6c fric6onal force and the direc6on the box travels are all same.
B) Since the fric6on force always has opposite direc6on from the movement direc6on, the work done is nega6ve
C) Fric6on keeps the box from sliding, thus D=0, and work done is 0.

CHECK From Figure 6-20, we see that the angle between and is between 90° and 180°,so we expect both and the work to be negative. Our results are in agreement with thisexpectation.
TAKING IT FURTHER Nowhere in the wording of either the problem statement or thesolution of Example 6-8 does it say that the motion of the particle is along any particularpath. Because the force is constant, the solution depends on the net displacement butnot on the path taken. The path could be a straight-line path or a curved path (Figure 6-21)and not a word in the solution would have to be changed.

CHECK The four distinct calculations give the same result for the work.
TAKING IT FURTHER For this problem, computing the work is easiest using the procedurein Part (a). For other problems, the procedure in Part (b), Part (c), or Part (d) may be the eas-iest. You need to be competent in using all four procedures. (The more problem-solving toolsyou have at your disposal, the better.)
Example 6-8 A Displaced Particle
A particle undergoes a displacement During this displacement a con-stant force acts on the particle. Find (a) the work done by the force,and (b) the component of the force in the direction of the displacement.
PICTURE The force is constant, so the work W can be found by computingCombining this with the relation we can find
the component of in the direction of the displacement.

CHECK From Figure 6-20, we see that the angle between and is between 90° and 180°,so we expect both and the work to be negative. Our results are in agreement with thisexpectation.
TAKING IT FURTHER Nowhere in the wording of either the problem statement or thesolution of Example 6-8 does it say that the motion of the particle is along any particularpath. Because the force is constant, the solution depends on the net displacement butnot on the path taken. The path could be a straight-line path or a curved path (Figure 6-21)and not a word in the solution would have to be changed.

Work done by a Spring
Physics 211 Lecture 7, Slide 25
I am confused about the posi6ve work and nega6ve work and also the posi6ve and nega6ve forces for the spring problems.
In this example the spring does –ve work since F and Δx are in opposite direc6on. The axes don’t ma`er.
Use the formula to get the magnitude of the work
Use a picture to get the sign (look at direc6ons)
A box a`ached at rest to a spring at its equilibrium length. You now push the box with your hand so that the spring is compressed a distance D, and you hold the box at rest in this new loca6on.
During this mo6on, the spring does:
A) Posi6ve Work B) Nega6ve Work C) Zero work

In Case 1 we send an object from the surface of the earth to a height above the earth surface equal to one earth radius.
In Case 2 we start the same object a height of one earth radius above the surface of the earth and we send it infinitely far away.
In which case is the magnitude of the work done by the Earth’s gravity on the object biggest?
