Study Notes
Work and Energy
- Work is done when a force is applied to an object, resulting in a displacement of the object.
- The work done by a force is given by W = F*Δx, where F is the magnitude of the force and Δx is the magnitude of the object's displacement.
- Work can be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force and displacement.
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
- The total mechanical energy of a closed system remains constant, meaning that the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy remains constant.
- The Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy states that the total mechanical energy of a closed system is conserved.
Potential Energy
- Potential energy is the energy associated with the position of an object within a system.
- There are two types of potential energy: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.
Gravitational Potential Energy
- Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the relative position of an object in space near the Earth's surface.
- Gravitational potential energy is given by PEg = mgy, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Elastic Potential Energy
- Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring.
- Elastic potential energy is given by PEel = 1/2kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
Work-Energy Theorem
- The work-energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in the object's kinetic energy.
- The work-energy theorem is given by W = ΔKE, where W is the net work done and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy.
Energy Transfer
- Energy can be transferred from one object to another through work or heat.
- The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
Types of Forces
- Conservative forces are forces that do work that depends only on the initial and final positions of an object, not on the path taken.
- Nonconservative forces are forces that do work that depends on the path taken by an object.
- Examples of conservative forces include gravity and spring forces, while examples of nonconservative forces include friction and air resistance.
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object.
- Kinetic energy is given by KE = 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.
Power
- Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Power is given by P = W / Δt, where W is the work done and Δt is the time over which the work is done.
