WORK ENERGY

Objectives 

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:

1. Distinguish between work in the scientific sense as compared to the colloquial sense.
2. Write the definition of work in terms of force and displacement and calculate the work done by a constant force when the force and displacement vectors are at an angle.
3. Use graphical analysis to calculate the work done by a force that varies in magnitude.
4. Define each type of mechanical energy and give examples of types of energy that are not mechanical.
5. State the work energy theorem and apply the theorem to solve problems.
6. Distinguish between a conservative and a non-conservative force and give examples of each type of force.
7. State the law of conservation of energy and apply the law to problems involving mechanical energy.
8. Define power in the scientific sense and solve problems involving work and power.

Run the numbers!  
Do they agree?  
If not why?  
What is the force the track exerts on the car at the top of the loop?
What if the top of the track were missing?  How would effect the result?
Does the observation below match your prediction?

Forces

F=MA
After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. State Newton's three laws of motion and give examples that illustrate each law.
2. Explain what is meant by the term net force.
3. Use the methods of vector algebra to determine the net force acting on an object.
4. Define each of the following terms: mass, inertia, weight and distinguish between mass and weight.
5. Identify the SI units for force, mass, and acceleration.
6. Draw an accurate free body diagram locating each of the forces acting on an object or a system of objects.
7. Use free body diagrams and Newton's laws of motion to solve word problems.

Range equation

Develop a range equation in terms of the variables angle,height,initial launch velocity and gravity.
Case 1: object shot from the ground to the ground
Case 2: object shot from a cliff to the ground
Note: these are really the same equation, But the first is a simplified version and should be easier to figure out and understand.
SHOW ALL WORK.

If you complete this and get bored try to solve the equation for the angle.  Do not start from scratch just use some algebra to rearrange the equation you already have.
