University Physics with Modern Physics Fifteenth Edition Chapter 6 Work and Kinetic Energy Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Learning Outcomes In this chapter, you’ll learn… what it means for a force to do work on an object, and how to calculate the amount of work done. The definition of the kinetic energy (energy of motion) of an object, and how the total work done on an object changes the object’s kinetic energy. How to use the relationship between total work and change in kinetic energy when the forces are not constant, the object follows a curved path, or both. how to solve problems involving power (the rate of doing work). Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Introduction A baseball pitcher does work with his throwing arm to give the ball a property called kinetic energy. In this chapter, the introduction of the new concepts of work, energy, and the conservation of energy will allow us to deal with problems in which Newton’s laws alone aren’t enough. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Work A force on an object does work if the object undergoes a displacement. These people are doing work as they push on the car because they exert a force on the car as it moves. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Units of Work The SI unit of work is the joule (named in honor of the 19th-century English physicist James Prescott Joule). SinceW =Fs , the unit of work is the unit of force multiplied by the unit of distance. In SI units: 1 joule = (1 newton) (1 meter) or 1 J = 1 N ∙ m If you lift an object with a weight of 1 N a distance of 1 m at a constant speed, you do 1 J of work on it.

All Rights Reserved Work Done by a Constant Force (1 of 2) The work done by a constant force acting at an angle to the displacement is: This can be written more compactly as: Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Positive Work When the force has a component in the direction of the displacement, work is positive. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Negative Work When the force has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement, work is negative. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Zero Work (1 of 2) When the force is perpendicular to the direction of the displacement, the force does no work on the object. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Total Work The work done by the net force on a particle as it moves is called the total workW tot. The particle speeds up ifW tot > 0, slows down ifW tot < 0, and maintains the same speed ifW tot = 0. Video Tutor Solution: Example 6.2 Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Kinetic Energy (1 of 4) The energy of motion of a particle is called kinetic energy: Like work, the kinetic energy of a particle is a scalar quantity; it depends on only the particle’s mass and speed, not its direction of motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative, and it is zero only when the particle is at rest. The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Kinetic Energy (2 of 4) Kinetic energy does not depend on the direction of motion. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Kinetic Energy (3 of 4) Kinetic energy increases linearly with the mass of the object. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Kinetic Energy (4 of 4) Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed of the object. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved The Work-Energy Theorem The work-energy theorem: The work done by the net force on a particle equals the change in the particle’s kinetic energy.

But the skater’s kinetic energy changes nonetheless! The explanation is that it’s not adequate to represent the boy as a single point mass.

All Rights Reserved Work and Energy with Varying Forces (2 of 3) We calculate the approximate work done by the force over many segments of the path. We do this for each segment and then add the results for all the segments. Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Work and Energy with Varying Forces (3 of 3) The work done by the force in the total displacement fromx 1 tox 2 is the integral ofFx fromx 1 tox 2: On a graph of force as a function of position, the total work done by the force is represented by the area under the curve between the initial and final positions.
