Solution: The formula to be used is W=F.S
For first part of the displacement, we have
‘S(m)=4k
So, work done is given as

Case-ll :

In daily life, a constant force is rare e.g., if we want to calculate work done by an engine
of a car, force exerted by engine is a variable force (car accelerates, travels with constant

ENERGY
Energy is a physical quantity which enables a system to perform work. There are so many form of
energy like heat energy, sound energy, nuclear energy which will be discussed in their respective
topics. Here we will discuss mechanical energy.
Mechanical Energy
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position
mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy.
Mechanical energy = KE + PE
KINETIC ENERGY
‘As discussed eariier, kinetic energy K of an object of mass mis given as,
Itis a scalar quantity. It is a measure of the work an object can do because of its motion. Sailing ships
use KE of the wind. KE of a fast-flowing stream has been used for grinding corn.

THE CONCEPT OF POTENTIAL ENERGY
Conservative and Non-conservative Forces
in the previous section, work done by various forces have been discussed. The various forces can be
classified into two types depending on the nature of work done by them. 3
1. Conservative Forces : When a body moves under the action of a conservative force, the work § j
Gone by the conservative force depends on the initial and final position of the body and it sq”
independent of the path followed by the body. Consider the following situation. A particle moves |) 4.
under the action of a force F from A to B via two different paths 1 and 2. :
n B ,
&
1.6ms*
pane?
A
For path 1, W, represents the work done and for path 2, W. represents the work done
If F is a conservative force, W, = Ws.
Now, if the particles moves from A to B via path 1 and returns to A via path 2, total wor
done on the particle by the force is zero. This means that while moving from A to B, the for
supplied some energy to the pariicle and during its return journey from any path, from 6 to A
iLbkes away the same amount of energy from the particle. Or, for a round trip or closed path
there ig no loss oF gain of energy by the particle, This is why, the force is called conservativ
force. The examples of conservative forces are gravitational force, spring force and electrostati
force.Board, JEE (Main) & State Competitive Exams Work, Energy and Power ees
2. Non-Conservative Force : When the work done by a force during the movement of a particle
from A to Bis different for different paths, the force is said to be non-conservative. In this situation,
if a particle moves from A to B via a path 1 and retumns from B to A via a path 2, the total work
done will not be zero. That is,
Wass + Ware # 0
or [Wao] # [Weasl-
Usually the total work done by the force during the round trip is, east 8
negative. If it is so, then the force is called dissipative force as it
dissipates the energy of the body. The most common example of
dissipative force is force of friction. It dissipates the energy of the
particle in the form of heat. A
Potential Energy
'
When a body moves under the action of a conservative force, it is seen that the work done by the
force depends only on initial and final position of the body and for a round irip, work done by the force
fe
is zero.
Let a body move from A to B via path 1 and retum to A via path 2 under the action of a conservative
force F.
At A, the kinetic energy of the body is K, and at B, kinetic energy of oo 8
the body is K;,. Let K, < K,. When body moves from A to 8, its kinetic k)
energy (K,) decreases. It means, negative work has been done by the
force F
As it moves back to A, same amount of positive work is done by the A, pa?
force F such that the body again acquires the kinetic energy K,. itis (K)
clear that, as body moves from A to B, the force F takes away energy from it and as the body moves
back from B to A, the force F gives back the energy to it. Potential energy is not only a property of
conservative force, in fact and it should bé clearly understood that the potential energy is associated
with the configuration of the system constituting the particle and the arrangement which produces the
conservative force.
Mathematical Expression for Potential Energy
When a body moves under the action of a conservative force F through a small displacement dr,
the work done by the conservative force is: dWhay, . The work done by the conservative force
is equal to decrease in potential energy of the system. Let U be the potential energy and—dU be the
decrease in potential energy. Then
=dU= dere
or, --dU=F.dr .
=> AU=U,-U,=Sau= fF
|GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
The gravitational force on a ball of mass m is mg, gis regarded as constant near the Earth’s surface
(i.e., height ‘h’ of the ball above the Earth's surface is very small as compared to Earth’s radius
R(h<< R)) so that variation of gis ignored, Lets take the upward direction as positive, Consider raising
a ball of mass m up to a height ‘h’. The work done by the extemal agency against the gravitational.
force is mgh, which gets stored as potential energy. Gravitational potential energy as a function of the
height f, is denoted by U(h) and itis the negative of work done by the gravitational force in raising
the body to that height.
U(h) = mghAG Work, Energy and Power Board, JEE (Main) & State Competitive Exams.
Ii taken as variable, gravitational force F equals the negative of the derivative of U(h) wart. h.
=f
The negative sign indicates that the gravitational force is downward. On releasing, ball comes down
with increasing speed. If vis the speed just before it hits the ground, then
v= 2gh Fi
Muttiplying both sides of this equation with >m, we get,
1
qin =mgh
Which shows that the gfavitational potential energy of the body at height h, manifests itself as kinetic
energy on reaching the ground. Physically, this notion is applicable only to the, class of forces where
work done against the force gets’stored up’ as energy. It manifests itself as kinetic energy when external
constraints are removed. Mathematically, the potential energy U(2) (for simplicity, in one dimension)
is defined if the force F(x) can be written as

“The work done by 4 conservative force such as gravity or the spring force depends on the initial
and final positions only, ¢.g., an object of mass m is released from rest, from the top of a smooth
(frictionless) incined plane of height f, its speed at the bottom = 2gh irrespective of the angle of
inclination (itdoes not depend on path taken). ifthe work done or the Kinetic energy depends on other
factors such as the velocity or the path taken by the body, the force is known as non-conservative
force.

THE CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY
For simplicity, we are considering one-dimensional motion. Suppose that a body undergoes
displacement Ax under the action of a conservative force F. From the W-E theorem,
ak= { F(ndx
If the force is conservative, the potential energy function U(x) can be defined such that
AU =~ f F(x)ax
Adding the above two equations, we get
AK+AU=0
or A(K+U)=0
= K+U, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the body is a constant.
‘Over the whole path x; to x;
K+ Ux) = Ky + Ux) ° I
‘The quantity K + U(x) is the total mechanical energy of the system. Kinetic energy K and the potential
energy U(x) may change individually from point to point, but the sum is a constant.
“The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces doing work on it, are
conservative.”
Let us consider a ball of mass m being dropped from a cliff of height H.
The conversion of PE to KE for a ball of mass m dropped from height H.
Total mechanical energies &;, E, and E, at the indicated heights zero (ground level), h and H, are

The particle is in equilibrium: Let the particle be given an initial velocity V7, in horizontal direction, as
shown in figure (b). The particle moves along a vertical circle (radius = length of the string). The point
of suspension is the centre of the circle.
This motion has to be non-uniform circular motion. Velocity of the particle changes both in magnitude
and direction. Speed of particle decreases continuously as it moves up the circle (i.e, from P—> Q

moves down the circle (Le. from R-> @ > P) due to work done by the force of gravity on the particle

The figure shows a smalll ball of mass 0.1 kg placed on a smooth plane surface OA which
acquires a semi-circular shape ABC of radius 2m. The ball just touches a light spring of
stiffness 1000 N/m. The ball is pushed to the left so as to compress the spring by a distance
and released. This ball then starts moving towards the circular track ABC. (g = 10 m/s?)
