Work can be positive, zero or negative
• When the force and the distance are in the same direction, you are helping the motion with the force, so the work done on the object is .
• The force is to the object + environment.

is done• In equation form:
Power = work done
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
• 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 ]
• 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”.

• 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?

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.

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.”

• 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 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:

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. DoubleB. Four timesC. HalfD. 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

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.

Your professor is rotating at some rotational speed ω with some rotational inertia set partly by the fact that he is holding masses in his outstretched arms.
Suppose by pulling the weights inward, the rotational inertia of the professor reduces to half its original value. By what factor would his rotational speed change?
