Topics in Work, Energy and Power

1

Work and Its Calculation

  • Work is done when a force causes displacement in the direction of the force.
  • Work is a scalar quantity measured in joules (J).
  • Work done by a constant force is given by the dot product: W = F·S = FS cosθ.
2

Work Done by Variable Force and Springs

  • For variable forces, work is calculated using integration: W = ∫F(x)dx.
  • Graphically, work is the area under the force-displacement curve.
  • Spring force follows Hooke’s Law: F = -kx (restoring force).
3

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

  • Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion: KE = ½mv².
  • Work-Energy Theorem: Net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy: W_net = ΔKE.
  • This theorem connects force and motion through energy, without needing time or acceleration details.
4

Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy

  • Potential energy is stored energy due to position or configuration.
  • Gravitational potential energy: PE = mgh (near Earth's surface).
  • Elastic potential energy: PE = ½kx² (in springs).
