Conservation of Energy
Energy is never created or destroyed. Any
time work is done, it is only transformed
from one form to another:
β’ Kinetic Energy
β’ Potential Energy
β Gravitational, elastic
β Electromagnetic, chemical potential (bonds)
β’ Thermal Energy
β The kinetic energy of molecules

Mechanical Energy
Mechanical Energy is the sum of potential
and kinetic energy: ME = PE + KE.
In a system without friction (= loss to thermal
energy), mechanical energy is conserved
i.e. constant.
Conservation of mechanical energy (or
mechanical + thermal energy) can be used
to solve various problems.

Example
You drop a 1.0-kg stone from a height if 2.0
m. What is its velocity when it hits the
ground?
Solution 1: Equations of Motion
π£π2 = π£π
2 + 2πβπ₯ = 0 + 2πβ
π£π = 2πβ
Solution 2: Conservation of Energy
ππΈπ + πΎπΈπ = ππΈπ + πΎπΈπ
ππβ + 0 = 0 + 12ππ£2
π£2 = 2πβ β π£ = 2πβ

Example 2
A batter hits a baseball, which leaves the bat
at 36 m/s. A fan in the outfield bleachers,
7.2 m above, catches it. What was its speed
when caught?
ππΈπ + πΎπΈπ = ππΈπ + πΎπΈπ

Example 3
If friction is negligible, which swimmer has
greater speed at the bottom of the slide?
The path did not matter! Gravity is called a
conservative force. The change in PEgrav depends
only on the initial and final positions, not path. This
allows us to solve problems with variable π.

Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
Conservative force: the work done by or against it
is stored in the form of potential energy that can be
released (recovered) at a later time
Examples of a conservative force: gravity, spring
Nonconservative force: the work by or against it is
βlostβ, and not stored as potential energy
Example of a nonconservative force: friction

Work Done by a Conservative Force
Work done by a conservative force (e.g. gravity)
around a closed path is zero.

Work Done by a Conservative Force
The work done by a conservative force does
not depend on the path:
Consequently
the work done or
required can be
computed from
only the initial
and final
positions.

Work Done by a Nonconservative Force
Work done by a nonconservative force (e.g.
friction) around a closed path is not zero:

Non-conservative Forces
The work done by friction is converted from kinetic
energy into thermal energy (which is the KE of the
molecules). Since the frictional force depends on
the direction of motion, it depends on the path
taken. Potential energy [fields] cannot be defined for
non-conservative forces.

Conservative Forces and Work
Which requires more
work, lifting a box
straight up (π1) or
sliding it up a
frictionless ramp at
constant velocity (π2)?
π2 = πΉπ = πΉ2πΏ= ππ sinπ πΏ= ππ β πΏ πΏ= ππβ = π1
Why then is a ramp
used?

Potential Energy Curves
The curve of a hill or a roller coaster is itself
essentially a plot of the gravitational
potential energy:

Conservation of Energy
Energy can be transferred from one object
to another, e.g. when a compressed spring
transfers its potential energy to the kinetic
energy of a ball. In any case, the total
energy of the two-object system is
conserved (constant).

β’ Read/try the great examples in the book in
the Conservation of Energy section!
β’ Thermal, electrical, nuclear and chemical
energy can be described in terms of kinetic
energy and potential energy.
β’ Nuclear reactions indicate that mass can
be converted to energy (E=mc2), and thus
is a form of energy.
