Study Notes
Work and Energy Concepts
- Work is defined as a force acting on an object that causes displacement.
- The angle between the force applied and the displacement is denoted as theta.
- Negative work occurs when a force hinders displacement of a moving object.
Units of Measurement
- Joule is the standard metric unit for measuring work and energy.
- One Joule is equivalent to one Newton multiplied by one meter.
Types of Energy
- Potential energy refers to stored energy based on an object's position.
- Gravitational potential energy is specifically related to an object's height above a reference point. The reference height is arbitrary and often set to zero.
- Elastic potential energy is stored in materials that are stretched or compressed, like springs.
State of Energy in Springs
- A spring in its equilibrium position has no stored elastic potential energy.
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of motion, which can be categorized into:
- Vibrational kinetic energy due to vibrational motion.
- Rotational kinetic energy arising from rotational motion.
- Translational kinetic energy related to motion from one location to another.
- The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed.
Mechanical Energy
- Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
- Defined as the ability to perform work, mechanical energy is influenced by both types of energy.
Power and Its Units
- Power measures the rate at which work is done and is quantified in Watts.
- One Watt equates to one Joule per second, and one horsepower is approximately 750 Watts.
Forces and Their Classification
- External forces include applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance.
- Internal forces consist of gravity, magnetic, electrical, and spring forces.
Energy Transfer and Consistency
- Positive work increases an object's energy while negative work results in energy loss. Energy changes can manifest as alterations in potential or kinetic energy.
- External forces can change the total mechanical energy, whereas internal forces maintain it.
- Nonconservative forces are categorized under external forces, and work done by them can affect energy forms.
- When only internal forces perform net work, mechanical energy remains constant.
Direction and Type of Work
- Positive work is done when force and displacement align in the same direction, leading to a gain in mechanical energy.
- Negative work is characterized by force and displacement in opposite directions, resulting in energy loss.
