CHAPTER 6
WORK, ENERGY AND POWER CLASS 11 NOTES

Notions of work, work-energy theorem, power
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
The conservation of Energy
Non-conservative forces-Motion in a vertical circle, Collisions

SUMMARY

1. The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of a body is the workdone by the net force on the body.

${{\text{K}}_f}\; - {\text{ }}{{\text{K}}_i}\; = {\text{ }}{{\text{W}}_{net}}$

2. A force is conservative if (i) work done by it on an object is path independent anddepends only on the end points {xi, xj}, or (ii) the work done by the force is zero for anarbitrary closed path taken by the object such that it returns to its initial position.

3. For a conservative force in one dimension, we may define a potential energy function V(x)such that $\begin{gathered} {\text{F (x) = }}\frac{{dV(x)}}{{dx}} \hfill \\ {\text{ or }}{{\text{V}}_1}{\text{ }}{{\text{V}}_j}{\text{ = }}\int_{{x_i}}^{{x_f}} {F(x)dx} \hfill \\\end{gathered}$

4. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanicalenergy of a body remains constant if the only forces that act on the body are conservative.

5. The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass m at a height x about the earth’s surface is V(x) = m g x

where the variation of g with height is ignored.

6. The elastic potential energy of a spring of force constant k and extension x is ${\text{V x = }}\frac{1}{2}\;\;{\text{k }}{{\text{x}}^2}$

7. The scalar or dot product of two vectors A and B is written as A. B and is a scalar quantity given by : A.B = AB cos $\theta$ , where $\theta$ is the angle between A and B. It can be positive, negative or zero depending upon the value of $\theta$ . The scalar product of two vectors can be interpreted as the product of magnitude of one vector and component of the other vector along the first vector. For unit vectors :

${\text{ }}\widehat {i.}\;\widehat i = \widehat j.\widehat j \\= \widehat k{\text{.}}\widehat k{\text{ = 1 and }}\widehat {i.}\;\widehat j \\= \widehat j.\widehat k = \widehat k{\text{.}}\widehat i{\text{ = }}0$

Scalar products obey the commutative and the distributive laws.
