Friction f
sliding friction: f = K N
static friction:
0 < f < fmax = S N

Work and Energy

work done by force F: WF F r , work can be (+), (), or zero

Hooke's Law: Fspring = k x

work-energy principle: Wnet KE

Definition of PE associated with conservative force F: PEF WF

PEgrav = m g h

If no sliding friction, so no thermal energy generated : Emech = KE + PE = constant

If sliding friction, KE + PE + Ethermal = constant

Power P

(k = spring constant)

PEelastic = (1/2) k x2

Exam2 Review - 3

To prepare for Exam 2:

Review Concept Tests, HW problems. (Read question and try to remember reasoning that
gets to the answer)
When reviewing HW problems, know how to derive algebraic formula for answer.
Prepare your formula sheet.
Take the practice exam.
It is no good to memorize answers. You have to understand and remember how you
construct the answers.
