Height m
Throw a stone up with
vel v, what is height as
function of time?
Drag force proportional to the
square of the velocity
for the ascent, mg and drag force
in same direction,
for the descent they are opposite.

WORK
Work is energy transferred to or from an
object by a force acting on the object.
Energy transferred TO the object is positive work, and
energy transferred FROM the object is negative work.
You know that if I move a body through a
displacement d by applying a constant force F
w = Fd

What if F is NOT in the direction of d?
What if the force is NOT constant?
If the Force is not in the

F = iFx +jFy
d = idx + jdy

Fx=Fcos
(Scalar product)

Thus w = (iFx +jFy) . (idx + jdy)
=i.iFxdx + i.jFxdy + j.iFydx + j.jFydy
Remember for a scalar product
i.i = 1 j.j = 1 i.j=0 j.i=0
w = Fxdx

If  = 0 w = Fd
if  = 90 w = 0
Work is a SCALAR: the product of 2 vectors
The unit of work is JOULE
What if the force is NOT constant?

NOTHING!!
Gravity and spring forces are Conservative
Friction is NOT!!
Conservative Forces
A force is conservative if the work it does on a
particle that moves through a round trip is zero;
otherwise the force is non-conservative
Consider throwing a mass up a height h
-g
h
work done for round trip:
On way up: work done by gravity
= -mgh
On way down: work done by gravity = mgh
Total work done
Sometimes written as
 F.ds  0
= 0
Conservative Forces
A force is conservative if the work done by it on a
particle that moves between two points is the same
for all paths connecting these points: otherwise the
force is non-conservative.
Work done by gravity
Each step
height=h
w = -mgh1+ -mgh2+-mgh3+…
= -mg(h1+h2+h3 +……)

h
= -mgh
Same as direct path (-mgh)
