WORK, ENERGY & POWER Syllabus : Kinetic and potential energy; Work and Power, Conservation of mechanical energy, work energy principle.

WORK When a force is applied at a point and the point gains some energy. Then the work is said to be done by the force. 

The work W done by a constant force F when its point of application undergoes a displacement 

S is measured as  





W = F . S = | F | | S | cos 



Where  is the angle between F and S . Work is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is N-m or joule (J). Only the component (Fcos) of the force F which is along the displacement contributes to the 

 



work done. If F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k and S = x i + y j + z k then W = F . S = Fx x+Fyy+Fz z Positive and Negative work : The work is said to be positive if the angle  is acute ( < 900) and 



negative if the angle  is obtuse ( > 900). If the angle between F and S is 900 then work done by the force is zero.  

If the force is variable then the work done by the variable force is given by dW = F . dS or S2

W=





 F . dS

S1

Work depends on frame of reference. With change of frame of reference inertial force does not change while displacement may change, so the work done by a force will be different in different frames.

Illustration – 1 : 





A particle of mass 2 kg moves under the action of a constant force F = 5i  2 j N. If its displacement 

is 6 j m. What is the work done by the force F ? Solution :  

WORK DONE BY A SPRING FORCE :

Whenever a spring is stretched or compressed, the spring force always tend to restore it to the equilibrium position. If x be the displacement of the free end of the spring from its equilibrium position then, the magnitude of the spring force is FS = - kx The negative sign indicates that the force is restoring. The work done by the spring force for a displacement from xi to xf is given by x

Ws = 

f

 Ws = 



1 k x f2  x i2 2



WORK DONE BY FRICTION :

Work done by friction may be zero, positive or negative depending upon the situations:  When a block is pulled by a force F and the block does not move, the work done

by

friction is zero.  When a block is pulled on a stationary surface, the work done by the kinetic friction is negative.  When one block is placed on another block and is pulled by a force then friction force does negative work on top block and positive work on the lower block

2

WORK DONE BY GRAVITY :

Here the force of gravity is Fg = - mg j and the displacement is given by 

S = x i + y j + z k 



 Work done by gravity is Wg = F g . S = - mg y y = yf - yI = - h  Wg = + mgh If the block moves in the upward direction, then the work done by gravity is negative and is given by Wg = - mgh.

DEPENDENCE OF WORK ON FRAME OF REFERENCE :

Work depends upon the frame of reference from where it is calculated. As the displacement as well as force, depends upon the deferent frames of reference. Therefore, the work also changes. For example, if you calculate work from a non inertial frame work due to pseudo force has to be included. Again displacement from the inertial frame of reference will be different from ground frame.

CONSERVATIVE AND NON CONSERVATIVE FORCES : In Conservative force field the work done by the force is independent on path followed and depends only on initial and final co-ordinates. Such forces are known as Conservative forces. Examples are gravitational, electrostatic forces. If the work done depends on path followed. Such forces are called non- Conservative forces. Example is frictional force.

Illustration – 3 : A train is moving with a constant speed "v". A box is pushed by a worker applying a force "F" on the box in the train slowly by distance "d" on the train for time "t". Find the work done by "F" from the train frame as well as from the ground frame. Solution : As the box is seen from the train frame the displacement is only 'd' if the force direction is same as the direction of motion of the box. Then the work done = F.d = Fdcos00 = Fd = Fdcos1800 = -Fd (if the displacement on the train is opposite to 'F') As the box is seen from ground frame, the displacement of the box = vt + d (if the displacement is along the direction of motion of the train ) = d - vt (if the displacement is opposite to direction of motion of the train) then work done = F. (vt + d) = Fvt + Fd

OR

=

F.(d-vt) = Fd - Fvt

Illustration – 4 : A block is (mass m) placed on the rough surface of a plank (mass m) of coefficient of friction "" which in turn is placed on a smooth surface. The block is given a velocity

WORK ENERGY THEOREM :

Now we have to study which physical quantity changes when work is done on a particle. If a constant force F acts through a displacement x, it does work W = Fx

 vf2  vi2 + 2 ax W=





m v f2  vi2 1 1 = m v f2 m v i2 2 2 2

The quantity k =

1 m v2 is a scalar and is called the kinetic energy of the particle. 2

It is the

energy posses by the particle by virtue of its motion. Thus the equation takes the form W  K f  K i  K The work done by a force changes the kinetic energy of the particle. This is called the work Energy Theorem.

If the car is moving at 25 m/s along level pavement, when it begins to skid to a stop, how far will it go before stopping? Solution : Here m = 900kg  = 0.8, v = 25 m/s S =?

(g = 10 m/s2)

Solution : Let upward push of air be F

 The resultant downward force = mg - F As work done = gain in K.E (mg - F) x S =

1 mv 2 2

 (10 x 10 - F) x 20 =

1 x 10 x (10)2  F = 75 N 2

 Work done by push of air = 75 x 20 = 15 Joule This work done is negative.

POTENTIAL ENERGY :

Potential energy of any body is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its position or the state of deformation.

With every potential energy there is an associated conservative force.

The

potential energy is measured as the magnitude of work done against the associated conservative force

 

du = - F . dr For Example :

(i)

If an object is placed at any point in gravitational field work is to be done against gravitational field force. The magnitude of this work done against the gravitational force gives the measure of gravitational potential energy of the body at that position which is U = mgh. Here h is the height of the object from the reference level.

ii)

The magnitude of work done against the spring force to compress it gives the measure of elastic potential energy, which is U =

iii)

1 2 kx 2

A charged body in any electrostatic field will have electrostatic potential energy. The change in 2



potential energy of a system associated with conservative internal force as U2-U1= - W=  F . dr 1

CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY :

Change in potential energy U = - WC where WC is the work done by conservative forces. From work energy theorem Wnet = k

7

Where Wnet is the sum of work done by all the forces acting on the mass. If the system is subjected to only conservative forces then Wnet = WC = k

  U = - k

 U + k = 0

The above equation tells us that the total change in potential energy plus the total change in kinetic energy is zero, if only conservative forces are acting on the system.

 (k+U) = 0 or

E = 0 where E = k + U

 When only conservative forces act, the change in total mechanical energy of a system is zero. i.e if only conservative forces perform work on and within a system, the total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

 kf + Uf - (ki + Ui) = 0  kf + Uf = ki + Ui

 E = 0, integrating both sides

E = constant.

Illustration – 8 : A projectile is fired from the top of a 40m. high cliff with an initial speed of 50 m/s at an unknown angle. Find its speed when it hits the ground.

Solution : Taking ground as the reference level we can conserve the mechanical energy between the points A and B

v

 (K + U) = 0  Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf 

POWER Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. If an amount of work W is done in a time interval t, then average power is defined to be

8

Pav =

W t

The S.I. unit of power is J/S or watt (W). Thus 1 W = 1 J/S The instantaneous power is the limiting value of Pav as t  0 that is P =

Instantaneous power may also be written as P =

dW    F.v dt

dW dt

Since work and energy are

closely related, a more general definition of power is the rate of energy transfer from one body to another, or the rate at which energy is transformed from one form to another, i.e. P =

dE . dt

Illustration – 9 : A car of mass 500 kg moving with a speed 36km/hr in a straight road unidirectionally doubles its speed in 1 minute. Find the average power delivered by the engine. Solution : Its initial speed V1 = 10 m/s then V2 = 20 m/s

= 1250 W. MOTION IN A VERTICAL CIRCLE :

A particle of mass 'm' is attached to a light and inextensible string. The other end of the sting is fixed at O and the particle moves in vertical circle of radius 'r' equal to the length of the string as shown in the fig. At the point P, net radial force on the particle is T-mg cos. T - mg cos =

 T = mg cos +

The particle will complete the circle if the string does not slack even at the highest point ( = ). Thus, tension in the string should be greater than or equal to zero (T > 0) at  =  for critical situation T = 0 and  =   mg =

 v min =

Now conserving energy between the lowest and the highest point

u min  5gR If u min  v=

5gR the particle will complete the circle. At u =

5gR , velocity at highest point is

gR and tension in the string is zero. If u <

5gR , the tension in the string become zero before reaching the highest point and at that point

the particle will leave the circular path. After leaving the circle the particle will follow a parabolic path. Above conditions are applicable even if a particle moves inside a smooth spherical shell of radius R. The only difference is that the tension is replaced by the normal reaction N. Illustration – 10 : A heavy particle hanging from a fixed point by a light inextensible string of length l is projected horizontally with speed

vertical at the instant of the motion when the tension in the string is equal to the weight of the particle. Solution :
