Circular Motion
Ø 1-D kinematics translates directly to circular motion (in polar coords.)
Knight (2013)
Note:• You solved several “differential equations” to get these (linear) formulae• Newton’s 2nd Law is a differential equation

..... but let’s first return to a previously stated problem
A chain of length x and mass m is hanging over the edge of a tall building and does not touch the ground. How much work is required to lift the chain to the top of the building?
To (eventually) answer this, we’ll need some more pieces:• Definition of work• Integration
Hughes-Hallet et al (2005)
à We need to further develop the notion of integration

Warmth
von Baeyer (1984)
“She brought me my hat, and I knew I was going out into the warm sunshine. This thought, if a wordless sensation may be called a thought, made me hop and skip with pleasure.
We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly.”
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
![Page 17: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Warmth
à What is “warmth”?
![Page 18: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
à Prometheus stole fire from the Gods (and was punished for eternity by Zeus)

Warmth
à Implicit here is a key idea: Energy

Energy
Ø Notion of warmth is closely tied to something being transferred
Ø But that idea translates more broadly....

Related Tangent: Density of the atmosphere
Berg (1993)
If gravity pulls everything down (e.g., air molecules), how come everything doesn’t just settle on the surface of the earth?
Resnick & Halliday (1966)
Ø Gravity and force have got to tie in here somehow.....
à “Warmth” has to play a role somehow!It does for
water, right!?!
![Page 22: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Energy
Ø “Energy” is a fundamental concept in all of science
Ø Etymology is of Greek origin for “activity”
Ø Comes in many different flavors/contexts:
Potential
KineticThermal
Elastic
Chemical
Mechanical
Nuclear
Electrical
Gravitational
à Somehow, these are all different, but yet are all the same....
Ø At the most basic level, “something” has energy and can transfer/receive such from other “somethings” around it....
E = mc2

Interdisciplinary Connection (Chemistry)
Petrucci et al (2011)
Notion of a “system”
Energy can be transferred
Energy has units and can be measured
First Law of Thermodynamics: Internal energy, heat & work (we’ll come back to work shortly)
At a molecular level, energy can manifest in a variety of mechanical ways

Force + Energy?
Ø How are these two connected?
Ø Intuitively.....Niagara Falls
Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant
à Work!
![Page 26: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Work
Ø Work is the energy transferred between systems via an applied force
Units(kg m/s2) * (m) = kg (m/s)2
= Jà A bit complicated once vectors are factored in (direction matters!). But basically....
Wolfson
![Page 27: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Wolfson
WorkNote: The work (W) here is only that tied to force F. If there are other forces at play, the associated work needs to be calculated separately....
à So work is energy. Note that unlike force, work/energy is a scalar (this makes life much easier downstream!)
![Page 28: PHYS 1420 (F19) Physics with Applications to Life Sciences](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012411/616abf008865780e3a1f2932/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Wolfson
Work
Ø Direction matters! This does make sense intuitively....
à Think about what direction gravity works in and how changing the angle of the wedge would affect “work”
à More fun when Earth does its work on the skier when on the steep part!
Note: When forces are not constant per se, problems can be very hard via Newton’s Laws. But they can be much more accessible via the lens of “energy” (as we’ll see)
