  1. Kinetic energy is the total work which must be done on the particle to ……it from a state of rest to a velocity v.

  2. The equation states that the total work ….. by all forces ….. on a particle during an interval of its motion from condition 1 to condition 2 ….. the corresponding change in kinetic energy of the particle.

  3. The work always …..in a change of kinetic energy.

  4. When written in the form T1 + U 1-2 = T2 the terms ……to the natural sequence of events.

  5. A major advantage of the method of work and energy is that it …...the necessity of computing the acceleration and ……directly to the velocity changes as functions of the forces which do work.

  6. Application of the work-energy method …..for an isolation of the particle or system under consideration.

Ex.4. Use the correct form of the word in bracket.

These two particles are joined together by a ……(connect) which is …….(friction) and ………..(capable) of any ……(form). The forces in the ……(connect) constitute a pair of equal and opposite forces, and the points of …….(apply) of these forces ………(necessary) have identical ………(place) components in the …….(direct) of the forces. Hence, the net work done by these internal forces is zero during any ……(move) of the system of the two……(connect) particles. Thus, this equation is …….(apply) to the entire system.

Part 2. Power.

The capacity of a machine is measured by the time rate at which it can do work or deliver energy. The total work or energy output is not a measure of this capacity since a motor, no matter how small, can deliver a large amount of energy if given sufficient time. On the other hand, a large and powerful machine is required to deliver a large amount of energy in a short period of time. Thus, the capacity of a machine is rated by its power, which is defined as the time rate of doing work.

Accordingly, the power P developed by a force F which does an amount of work

U is P = dU/dt = Fdr/dt. Since dr/dt is the velocity v of the point of application of the force, we have

P = F•v ( 5 )

Power is clearly a scalar quantity, and in SI units it has the units of N•m/s = J/s. The special unit for power is the watt (W), which equals one joule per second (J/s).

Part 3. Efficiency.

The ratio of the work done by a machine to the work done on the machine during the same time interval is called the mechanical efficiency em of the machine. This definition assumes that the machine operates uniformly so that there is no accumulation or depletion of energy within it. Efficiency is always less than unity since every device operates with some loss of energy and since energy cannot be created within the machine. In mechan­ical devices that involve moving parts, there will always be some loss of energy due to the negative work of kinetic friction forces. This work is converted to heat energy which, in turn, is dissipated to the surroundings. The mechanical efficiency at any instant of time may be expressed in terms of mechanical power P by

em = P output : P input

In addition to energy loss by mechanical friction, there may also be electrical and thermal energy loss, in which case, the electrical efficiency ee and thermal efficiency et are also involved. The overall efficiency e in such instances would be

e = emeeet

Ex.9. Find 14 odd words which shouldn’t be used there.

The choice of a coordinate system is being frequently indicated by the number and geometry of the only constraints. Thus, if a particle is free to move in space, as if is the center of mass of the airplane or rocket in the free flight, the particle is said to have three degrees of freedom since three independent coordinates are not required to specify the po­sition of the particle at any an instant. All three of the scalar compo­nents of the equation of motion would have to be applied and integrated to obtain the space coordinates as a function as of time. If a particle is constrained to move along a surface, as is in the hockey puck or a marble is sliding on the curved surface of a bowl, only two coordinates are to needed to specify it’s the position, and in this case it is said to have had two degrees of its freedom. If a particle is constrained to move along a fixed linear path, as is the collar sliding along a fixed shaft, its position may to be specified by the coordinate measured along the shaft. In this case, the particle would have only one degree of freedom.
