B = Bxi + Byj + Bzk
then

slides to descend. Along which slide is the
greatest net force exerted on the piglet?

A B C
D. The net force is the same for all.
 CPS Question

slides to descend. Along which slide would
the piglet slide the longest distance?

A B C
D. The distance is the same for all.
 CPS Question

 Group Work
Problem 4 on the worksheet
use sum of products of components
 Total (Net) Work
If several forces act on a moving object:

s
F4 F1
F2
F3
W = (F)s
or
W = (Fs)
 Example Problem 6.57
A luggage handler at the Laramie Airport pulls a
20-kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 25 above the
horizontal with a force of 140 N parallel to the
ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
ramp and the box is k = 0.30. the suitcase travels
3.80 m along the ramp. Find
a. the work done on the suitcase by the handler
b. the work done on the suitcase by gravity
c. the work done on the suitcase by the normal force
d. the work done on the suitcase by friction
e. the total work done on the suitcase
f. the final speed of the suitcase, if its initial speed was zero
 CPS Question
To accelerate an object from 10 to 20 m/s
requires
A. more work than to accelerate from 0 to
10 m/s.
B. the same amount of work as to
accelerate from 0 to 10 m/s.
C. less work than to accelerate from 0 to 10
m/s.
 Work of Acceleration
To accelerate to speed v with constant force F

F v
slope = a = =
m t
v
speed area = d

time t

Work = Fd
mv 1
F = m (slope) = t d = 2 vt
1 mv 1
Work = 2 vt = 2 mv 2
t
 Another Perspective
So, for the 010 vs. 1020 m/s case:
If same force, then same time
as and vs are equal, so ts are equal
Average speeds are 5 vs. 15 m/s
The 1020 m/s case travels 3 as far

 Kinetic Energy
the work to bring a motionless object to
speed

KE = 2 mv2

equivalent to

the work a moving object does in stopping

 CPS Question
Which has more kinetic energy?

A.
10 kg 10 m/s

B.
5 kg 10 m/s
C.
5 kg 40 m/s
D.

10 kg 20 m/s
 CPS Question
The piglet has a choice of three frictionless
slides to descend. Along which slide would
the piglet finish with the highest speed?

A B C
D. The final speed is the same for all.
 Work-Energy Theorem
If an amount of work w is done on an
otherwise isolated system, the systems
energy changes by an amount E = w.
