    Potential Energy

    physics is the transfer of energy; work is done on an object when an applied force moves it through a distance. The link between work and energy is work done equals energy transferred. The units for the two are also the same (joules). E.g. 500J of work = 500J of kinetic energy. Work is calculated with the formula: work done=force x distance moved For example‚ if a force of 10 newton (F = 10 N) acts along point that travels 2 meters (d = 2 m)‚ then it does the work W = (10 N)(2 m) = 20 N m = 20 J. This

    the same coefficient of kinetic friction as Zak’s). Instead of getting a running start‚ she asks Zak to give her a push. So‚ Zak pushes her with a force of 125 \rm N over a distance of 1.00 \rm m. If her mass is 20.0 \rm kg‚ what distance d_2 does she slide after Zak’s push ends? Remember that the frictional force acts on Greta during Zak’s push and while she is sliding after the push. F= Fp-Fr E= F*Lp= (Fp-Fr)*Lp= Fr*Lr Lr= Lp*((Fp/Fr)-1) Lr= 1*((125/(20*9.8*0.25))-1)= 1.6 m Mark pushes his

    PHYS 111N Experiment 06: Friction Submitted by: Porsha Renee Sumner Lab Partners: Amber Carter‚ Emily Rawles‚ Clayton Scott Wednesday‚ March 6‚ 2013‚ 9:00 AM Lab Instructor: Uttar Pudasaini Introduction In this experiment we will be examining how the kinetic friction coefficient is altered by changing the mass‚ surface area‚ speed‚ and material contacting each other. In order to find this value‚ we will be using a pulley apparatus that will allow us to measure the average velocity and manipulate

    and a m = 3 kg weight is hanging on the string. The system of the weight and disk is released from rest. a) When the 3 kg weight is moving with a speed of 2.2 m/s‚ what is the kinetic energy of the entire system? KETOT = KEwheel+KEweight = (1/2)(I)(w2)+(1/2)(m*v2) =(0.5* v2)(m+1/2M) =0.5*(2.2^2)*(3+(.5*15)) J b) If the system started from rest‚ how far has the weight fallen? H = KETOT/MG = 0.5*(2.2^2)*(3+(.5*15))/(3*9.8) m

    Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

    Work and Energy Worksheet Section 1 Work: 1. A person pulls a toboggan for a distance of 35.0m along the snow. The force in the rope (tension) is 94.0N. How much work is done on the sled? Solution: W= Fd W= 94.0N x 35.0m W= 3290 Nm or J 2. The cable of a large crane applies a force of 2.2x10^4N to a demolition ball as it lifts it vertically a distance of 7.6m. a) How much work is done on the ball? b) Is the work positive or negative? Why? Solution:
