BIG IDEAS1

Energy

Momentum Conservation Law

Energy is always constant, therefore…

Total Energy Before = Total Energy After

KEi + PEi + Work = KEf + PEf + Heat

Momentum is always constant, therefore…

Total Momentum Before = Total Momentum After

m1v1i +m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f

Theorem

Work-Energy Theorem

Work = ∆Energy

Fd = ∆(energy)

Impulse-Momentum Theorem

Impulse = ∆Momentum

Ft = ∆(mv)

Energy Types: Kinetic (Motion) – 1/2mv2 Gravitational Potential – mgh Spring Potential – 1/2kx2 Sound, Light, Nuclear, etc… Work = Fdcosθ – If force is perpendicular to distance, that force does NO WORK! Power = Energy Converted/time = Work/time

1 These ideas are SO BIG that they get their own BIG FONT.

did he do in this situation? 3) The now sweaty squirrel holds his 15N weight over his head. While keeping the weight above his head, he runs a

100m dash in 22 seconds. How much work did he do? 4) Returning back, Nutty starts his stair workout. If his mass is 1kg, and each flight of stairs is 4 meters, then how much

work does he do in each situation: a- run up two flights of stairs. b- run up three flights, then back down one. c- run up three flights of stairs. 5) A very tired Squirrel of 1kg mass begins to do pushups to elevate himself .05m. How many pushups should he do to
