Potential Energy Recap:
? For any conservative force we can define a potential
energy function U such that:
? The potential energy function U is always defined
only up to an additive constant.
?You can choose the location where U = 0 to be
anywhere convenient.
?U = U2 - U1 = - W

Conservation of Energy
? If only conservative forces are present,the total energy
(sum of potential and kinetic energies) of a system is
conserved.
E = K + U
?E = ?K + ?U
= W + ?U
= W + (-W) = 0
using ?K = W
using ?U = -W
? Both K and U can change,but E = K + U remains constant.
E = K + U is constant !!! Active Figure

Non-conservative Forces,
? If the work done does not depend on the path taken,the
force involved is said to be conservative.
? If the work done does depend on the path taken,the force
involved is said to be non-conservative.
? An example of a non-conservative force is friction:
? Pushing a box across the floor,the amount of work that is
done by friction depends on the path taken.
?Work done is proportional to the length of the path !
Physics 121,Lecture 14,Pg 13
Non-conservative Forces,Friction
? Suppose you are pushing a box across a flat floor,The mass of
the box is m and the kinetic coefficient of friction is ?.
? The work done in pushing it a distance D is given by:
Wf = Ff D cos ?= -?mgD.
D
Ff = -?mg
Physics 121,Lecture 14,Pg 14
Non-conservative Forces,Friction
? Since the force is constant in magnitude,and opposite
in direction to the displacement,the work done in
pushing the box through an arbitrary path of length L is
just
Wf = -?mgL.
? Clearly,the work done depends on the path taken.
? Wpath 2 > Wpath 1.

Generalized Work Energy Theorem:
? Suppose FNET = FC + FNC (sum of conservative and non-
conservative forces).
? The total work done is,WTOT = WC + WNC
? The Work Kinetic-Energy theorem says that,WTOT = ?K.
?WTOT = WC + WNC = ?K
? WNC = ?K - WC
? But WC = -?U
So WNC = ?K + ?U = ?E
Physics 121,Lecture 14,Pg 16
Generalized Work Energy Theorem:
? The change in total energy of a system is equal to the work
done on it by non-conservative forces,E of system not
conserved !
?If all the forces are conservative,we know that energy of
the system is conserved,?K + ?U = ?E = 0 which says that
WNC = 0,which makes sense.
?If some non-conservative force (like friction) does work,
energy of the system will not be conserved and WNC = ?E,
which also makes sense.
WNC = ?K + ?U = ?E

? Using WNC = ?K + ?U
? As before,?U= -mgd
? WNC = work done by friction = -?mgx.
? ?K = 0 since the block starts out and ends up at
rest.

air resistance,The time the stone takes to reach
the top of its flight path (i.e,go up) is,
A) larger than
B) equal to
