Work and Force DirectionWork and Force DirectionWork is done in lifting the box (you do +work; gravity -)No work is done on the bucket when held still, or to move horizontally
More on “dot product” (or scalar product)
Definition:
aa.bb = ab cos θ
= a[b cos θ] = aba
= b[a cos θ] = bab
Some properties:a a . bb = b b . aaq(a a . bb) = (qbb) . a a = b b .(qaa) (q is a scalar)a a .(b b + cc) = (a a . bb) + (a a . cc) (cc is a vector)
The dot product of perpendicular vectors is 0 !!

What about multiple forces?
Suppose FFNET = FF1 + FF2 and the
displacement is Δrr.
The work done by each force is:
W1 = FF1 . Δr r W2 = FF2
. Δrr
WTOT = W1 + W2
= FF1 . Δr r + FF2
. Δrr
= (FF1 + FF2 ) . Δrr
WTOT = FFTOT . Δrr It’s the totaltotal force that matters!!

A 3000–kg truck is to be loaded onto a ship by a crane that exerts an upward force of 31 kN on the truck. This force, which is strong enough to overcome the gravitational force and keep the truck moving upward, is applied over a distance of 2.0 m. Find (a) the work done on the truck by the crane, (b) the work done on the truck by gravity, (c) the net work done on the truck.
(a) the work done by the crane: Wc = Fc d = 31 kN x 2 m = 62 kJ
(b) the work done by gravity: Wg = Fg d = (-31 kN) x 2 m = -62 kJ (c) the net work done on the truck: W = Wc + Wg = 0

EnergyEnergyEnergy is that quality of a substance or objectwhich “causes something to happen”; or “capability of exerting forces”;or “ability to do work”…
The vagueness of the definition is due to the factthat energy can result in many effects.
It is convertible into other forms without loss (i.e it is conserved)

Definition of Kinetic EnergyKinetic energy (K.E.) of a particle of mass m moving with speed v is defined as
K.E. = ½mv2
Kinetic energy is a useful concept because of theWork/Kinetic Energy theorem, which relates the work done on an object to the change in kinetic energy.

Energy and Newton’s Laws
The importance of mechanical energy in classical mechanics is a consequence of Newton’s laws.

The concept of energy turns out to be even more general than Newton’s Laws.

Problem: Work and Energy (Solution)
The net work done to stop a box is -fD = -μmgD.The work-kinetic energy theorem says that for any object, WNET = ΔK so WNET=Kf-Ki=0-Ki.
Since the boxes start out with the same kinetic energy, we haveμm1gD1=μm2gD2 and D1/D2=m2/m1.
Since m1>m2, we must have D2>D1.

A sports car accelerates from zero to 30 mph in 1.5 s. How long does it take for it to accelerate from zero to 60 mph, assuming the power of the engine to be independent of velocity and neglecting friction?
Integrating with respect to time, and noting that the initial velocity is zero, one gets . So getting to twice the speed takes 4 times as long, and the time to reach 60 mph is 4×1.5 = 6s.
Power is constant, so , a constant.

If a fighter jet doubles its speed, by what factor should the power from the engine change? (Assume that the drag force on the plane is proportional to the square of the plane’s speed.)
Magnitude of power is Fv. When the velocity v is doubled, the drag force goes up by a factor of 4, and Fv goes up by a factor of 8
