W TOT =
ΔKE = Fd
Conservative
path independent
Conservative examples
gravity and spring
Nonconservative examples
friction, air resistance, tension, muscles and motor
W A->B =
fk x d cos angle
W Xi->Xf =
fg x d cos angle
Potential energy
new form change in “stored” kinetic energy, U
Ball is thrown up
force of gravity does negative work and decrease in kinetic energy
When ball is thrown up Wg =
-mgh
When ball is thrown up ΔKE =
-mgh
When ball travels down
force of gravity does positive work and increase in kinetic energy
When ball travels down Wg =
+mgh
When ball travels down ΔKE =
+mgh
Spring is displaced and then released Ws =
-1/2kΔx^2
Spring is displaced and then released ΔKE =
-1/2kΔx^2
Spring is displaced and then released
increase in negative work, decrease in kinetic energy
Block compresses spring and pushes back to equilibrium Ws =
+1/2kΔx^2
Block compresses spring and pushes back to equilibrium ΔKE =
+1/2kΔx^2
Block compresses spring and pushes back to equilibrium
decrease in negative work and increase in kinetic energy
You find where U
= 0
For conservative, ΔUF conservative =
-WF conservative
Nonconservative ΔKE =
W conservative + W non conservative
Work non conservative =
ΔKE + ΔU or ΔME
In conservative, ΔME =
ΔME i = ΔME f
