• The concept of energy (and the conservation of energy – chapter 8) is one of the most important topics in physics.
• Work• Kinetic energy• Energy approach (“system model”) is often simpler than Newton’s
second law (“particle model”).• Scalar product (dot product); work is scalar product of force and
displacement. • Hooke’s law, springs• Power

Work (as defined by a physicist)
Definition:
The work done on an object by an external force is:
the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement.
cos dFW
How much work is done when just holding up an object?
W
dFW cos
How much work is done when the displacement is perpendicular to the force?
W
dFW cos
What is the work done when lifting?(at constant speed)
- By the applied force?
- By the gravitational force?
W
dFW cos
Sign convention:
W positive:
If F and d are parallel.
If energy is transferred into the system.
W negative:
If F and d are antiparallel.
If energy is transferred out of the system.
How much work is the strongest man doing when he lifts a 100 kg boulder by 1 m.
A.0 J
B.9800 J
C.9.8 J
D.100 J
E.None of the above
Work is a scalar quantity (not a vector).
Work has units of
Newton·meter (N·m) = the Joule (J)
Born: Dec. 24 1818, Salford, Lancashire, England
Died: Oct. 11, 1889
Joule studied the nature of heat and discovered its relationship to mechanical work. This led to the theory of conservation of energy, which led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics.

Work is the scalar product (or dot product) of the force F and the displacement d.
F and d are vectors
W is a scalar quantity

Black board example 7.2
A particle moving in the x-y plane undergoes a displacement d = (2.0i + 3.0j) m as a constant force F = (5.0i + 2.0j) N acts on the particle. Calculate
(a) The magnitude of the displacement and the force.
(b) The work done by F.
(c) The angle between F and d.
What if the force varies? We have to integrate the force along x

Work due to friction
If friction is involved in moving objects, work has to be done against the kinetic frictional force.
This work is:dfW kf
