The Ninja, a roller coaster at Six Flags over
Georgia, has a height of 122 ft and a speed of
52 mi/h. The potential energy due to its
height changes into kinetic energy of motion.
Objectives: After completing this
module, you should be able to:
Define kinetic energy and potential energy,
along with the appropriate units in each
system.
Describe the relationship between work and
kinetic energy, and apply the WORK-
ENERGY THEOREM.
Define and apply the concept of POWER,
along with the appropriate units.
 Energy
Energy is anything that can be con-
verted into work; i.e., anything that can
exert a force through a distance.

Energy is the capability for doing work.

 Potential Energy
Potential Energy: Ability to do work by
virtue of position or condition.

A suspended weight A stretched bow

 Potensial Energy
Potential energy exists whenever an object which has
mass has a position within a force field. The most
everyday example of this is the position of objects in
the earth's gravitational field. The potential energy of
an object in this case is given by the relation:
PE = mgh
PE = Energy (in Joules)
m = mass (in kilograms)
g = gravitational acceleration of the earth (9.8
m/sec2)
h = height above earth's surface (in meters)
Example Problem: What is the potential
energy of a 50-kg person in a skyscraper
if he is 480 m above the street below?

Gravitational Potential Energy

What is the P.E. of a 50-kg
person at a height of 480 m?
U = mgh = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(480 m)

U = 235 kJ
 Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy: Ability to do work by
virtue of motion. (Mass with velocity)

A speeding car
or a space rocket
 Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy exists whenever an object which has
mass is in motion with some velocity. Everything you
see moving about has kinetic energy. The kinetic
energy of an object in this case is given by the
relation:
KE = (1/2)mv2
m=mass of the object
V=velocity of the object
The greater the mass or velocity of a moving object,
the more kinetic energy it has.
 Examples of Kinetic Energy
What is the kinetic energy of a 5-g bullet
traveling at 200 m/s?

What is the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg
car traveling at 14.1 m/s?

Mechanical energy is the
movement of machine parts.
Mechanical energy is also
the total amount of kinetic
and potential energy in a
system. Wind-up toys,
grandfather clocks, and
pogo sticks are examples of
mechanical energy. Wind
power uses mechanical Potential energy +
energy to help create Kinetic energy =
electricity.

 Power
Power is defined as the rate at which
work is done: (P = dW/dt )
Work F r
Power

P
t 4s
P 490 J/s or 490 watts (W)

Power of 1 W is work done at rate of 1 J/s

 Units of Power
One watt (W) is work done at the rate of
one joule per second.
1 W = 1 J/s and 1 kW = 1000 W

One ft lb/s is an older (USCS) unit of power.

One horsepower is work done at the rate of

550 ft lb/s. ( 1 hp = 550 ft lb/s )
 Example of Power
What power is consumed in lifting
a 70-kg robber 1.6 m in 0.50 s?

Power Consumed: P = 2220 W

Example 1: A 100-kg cheetah moves from
rest to 30 m/s in 4 s. What is the power?

Recognize that work is equal to

the change in kinetic energy:

Power Consumed: P = 1.22 kW

 Power and Velocity
Recall that average or constant velocity is
distance covered per unit of time v = x/t.

Fx x
P= =F P Fv
t t
If power varies with time, then calculus is
needed to integrate over time. (Optional)

Since P = dW/dt: Work P(t ) dt

 Example 2: What power
is required to lift a 900-kg
v = 4 m/s
elevator at a constant
speed of 4 m/s?
P = F v = mg v
P = (900 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(4 m/s)

P = 35.3 kW

The Work-Energy Theorem: The work done by

a resultant force is equal to the change in
kinetic energy that it produces.

Work = mvf2 - mvo2
