1) Energy exists in many forms including kinetic, potential, elastic, chemical, and nuclear. Kinetic energy is energy from motion and potential energy is stored energy from an object's position or state. 2) Elastic potential energy is the stored energy in a stretched or compressed elastic material like a spring. The formula is PE=1/2kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the stretched or compressed distance. 3) The total mechanical energy in a system is conserved according to the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy can be transformed but not created or destroyed.

Lesson 1: ENERGY AND POWER 2.

ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY


Is the energy “stored” in a stretched or
 Energy is defined as CAPACITY TO DO compressed elastic material such as a spring.
WORK.
 SI Unit : Joule (J)
 Many form.
 Common one:
Kinetic
Potential
Electric
Chemical
Solar
Nuclear

Kinetic Energy
 Kinetic energy is energy due to the
motion. Formula:
 KE = ½ mv2 PE = ½kx²
o Where: Where:
m = mass (kg) K = spring constant
v = velocity (m/s) X = stretched or compressed distance
 Joule (J)
WORK-ENERGY THEOREM
Potential Energy  The network done by external force on
 Potential energy is energy possessed by a body is equal to the change in kinetic
an object due to its position or state. energy of the body.
 PE =mgh  Formula: Work = ΔKE
Where:
o m= mass (kg)
o g = gravitational acceleration
(m/s)
h = height (m)
 Joule (J)

TYPES OF POTENTIAL ENERGY

1. GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY


Is the energy possessed by the object due to its
vertical separation from the earth. The “stored” Total Mechanical Energy of the System
energy is held within the gravitational field.
IMPULSE-MOMENTUM THEOREM

CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed;
it can only be transformed from one form to
another.”

Power
 Power is defined as ability to do work.
 SI Unit : Watt (W) TYPES OF COLLISION
 Formula 1. Elastic Collision – occurs when no
mechanical energy is lost or gained in
the collision, the total kinetic energy of
the system is the same after the
collision as before.
2. Inelastic Collision - a collision in which
the total kinetic energy after the
collision is less than before the collision.
An inelastic collision in which the
colliding bodies stick together and move
as one body after the collision is called a
completely inelastic collision.

Lesson 3: Rotational Equilibrium And
Rotational Dynamics

Torque
 Torque, t , is tendency of a force to
rotate object about some axis
 Formula:

where: F is the force


d is the lever arm (or moment
arm)
 Units are Newton-m

Torque is vector quantity


-Direction determined by axis of twist
-Perpendicular to both r and F
-Clockwise torques point into paper.
Defined as negative
-Counter-clockwise torques point out of paper.
Defined as positive

Non-perpendicular forces
Formula:

Φ is the angle between F and r


Torque and Equilibrium
Forces sum to zero (no linear motion) Angular and Linear Speed

Torques sum to zero


(no rotation)

Axis of Rotation
 Torques require point of reference
 Point can be anywhere
Angular and Linear Acceleration:
o Use same point for all torques
o Pick the point to make problem
least difficult

Torque and Angular Acceleration


Analogous to relation between F and a
Formula:

Angular Velocity
Angular velocity,w, is the rate of change in Moment of Inertia
angular displacement. (radians per second.) Mass analog is moment of inertia, I

r defined relative to rotation axis


Angular velocity can also be given as the
SI units are kg m2
frequency of revolution, f (rev/s or rpm):
More About Moment of Inertia
-I depends on both the mass and its
Angular Acceleration distribution.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change in -If mass is distributed further from axis of
angular velocity. (Radians per sec per sec.) rotation, moment of inertia will be larger.

The angular acceleration can also be found


from the change in frequency, as follows:
