7 Energy
7.1 Equations
•Kinetic energy: KE=1/2mv23 •Potential energy: PE=mgh
•total energy: E=KE+PE•work: W=Fd=∆E. If force and distance are perpendicular, W=0. If opposite,W¡0.•power: P=∆E∆t
7.2 Skills
•Know how to find velocities or heights of objects, using conservation of energy and knowing information about initial/final states.
•Know how to find energy of object and thus velocity after a force has done work on it.
•Use power to find how quickly an object’s energy changes
.8 Rotation
8.1 Equations
•Rotational velocity:ω=∆θ∆t
•Rotational acceleration:α=∆ω∆t•torque:τ=rForτ=Iα; if r and F are parallel, torque is zero
•Rotational KE=1/2Iω2•Angular momentumL=mvr, orL=Iω8.2Skills
•Same types of problems as motion, but with angular variables: Givenαand ∆t,find ∆θ,etc.
•Know how to find the torque on an object for different forces and distances.
•Use rotational KE in conservation of energy problems when an object is spin-ning/rotating
•Use Conservation of angular momentum for objects spinning/rotating, to find ini-tial/final momentums.
•Given a torque, find the angular acceleration made for an object with inertia I
