Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5

  • Work:-  Work done W is defined as the dot product of force F and displacement s.
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5

    Here θ is the angle betweenWork, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5andWork, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5.
    Work done by the force is positive if the angle between force and displacement is acute (0°<θ<90°) as cos θ is positive. This signifies, when the force and displacement are in same direction, work done is positive. This work is said to be done upon the body.
  • When the force acts in a direction at right angle to the direction of displacement (cos90° = 0), no work is done (zero work).
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
  • Work done by the force is negative if the angle between force and displacement is obtuse (90°<θ<180°)  as cosθ is negative. This signifies, when the force and displacement are in opposite direction, work done is negative. This work is said to be done by the body.
  • Work done by a variable force:-
    If applied force F is not a constant force, then work done by this force in moving the body from position A to B will be,
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
    Here ds is the small displacement.
  • Units:  The unit of work done in S.I is joule (J) and in C.G.S system is erg.
    1J = 1 N.m , 1 erg = 1 dyn.cm
  • Relation between Joule and erg:- 1 J = 107 erg
  • Power:-The rate at which work is done is called power and is defined as,
    P = W/t = F.s/v = F.v
    Here s is the distance and v is the speed.
  • Instantaneous power in terms of mechanical energy:- P = dE/dt
  • Units: The unit of power in S.I system is J/s (watt) and in C.G.S system is erg/s.
  • Energy:-
    1) Energy is the ability of the body to do some work. The unit of energy is same as that of work.
    2) Kinetic Energy (K):- It is defined as,
    K= ½ mv2
    Here m is the mass of the body and v is the speed of the body.
  • Potential Energy (U):- Potential energy of a body is defined as, U = mgh
    Here, m is the mass of the body, g is the free fall acceleration (acceleration due to gravity) and h is the height.
  • Gravitational Potential Energy:- An object’s gravitational potential energy U is its mass m times the acceleration due to gravity g times its height h above a zero level.
    In symbol’s,
    U = mgh
  • Relation between Kinetic Energy (K) and momentum  (p):-
    K = p2/2m
  • If two bodies of different masses have same momentum, body with a greater mass shall have lesser kinetic energy.
  • If two bodies of different mass have same kinetic energy, body with a greater mass shall have greater momentum.
  • For two bodies having same mass, the body having greater momentum shall have greater kinetic energy.
  • Work energy Theorem:- It states that work done on the body or by the body is equal to the net change in its kinetic energy .
  • For constant force,
    W = ½ mv– ½ mu2
    = Final K.E – Initial K.E
  • For variable force,
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
  • Law of conservation of energy:- It states that, “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be converted from one form to another. The sum of total energy, in this universe, is always same”.
  • The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of an object is called mechanical energy. So, E = K+U
  • In accordance to law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the system always remains constant.
    So, mgh + ½ mv2 = constant
    In an isolated system, the total energy Etotal of the system is constant.
    So, E = U+K = constant
    Or, Ui+Ki = Uf+Kf
    Or, ?U = -?K
    Speed of particle v in a central force field:
    v = √2/m [E-U(x)]
  • Conservation of linear momentum:-
    In an isolated system (no external force ( Fext = 0)), the total momentum of the system before collision would be equal to total momentum of the system after collision.
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5So, p= pi
  • Coefficient of restitution (e):- It is defined as the ratio between magnitude of impulse during period of restitution to that during period of deformation.
    e = relative velocity after collision / relative velocity before collision
    = v– v1/u1 – u2
    Case (i) For perfectly elastic collision, e = 1. Thus, v2 – v1 = u– u2. This signifies the relative velocities of two bodies before and after collision are same.
    Case (ii) For inelastic collision, e<1. Thus, v2 – v1 < u1 – u2. This signifies, the value of e shall depend upon the extent of loss of kinetic energy during collision.
    Case (iii) For perfectly inelastic collision, e = 0. Thus, v2 – v=0, or v2 = v1. This signifies the two bodies shall move together with same velocity. Therefore, there shall be no separation between them.
  • Elastic collision:- In an elastic collision, both the momentum and kinetic energy conserved.
  • One dimensional elastic collision:-
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
    After collision, the velocity of two body will be,
    v1 = (m1-m2/ m1+m2)u1 + (2m2/ m1+m2)u2
    and
    v2 = (m2-m1/ m1+m2)u+ (2m1/ m1+m2)u1
    Case:I
    When both the colliding bodies are of the same mass, i.e., m1 = m2, then,
    v1 = u2 and v2 = u1
    Case:II
    When the body B of mass m2 is initially at rest, i.e., u2 = 0, then,
    v1 = (m1-m2/ m1+m2)u1 and v= (2m1/ m1+m2)u1
    (a) When  m2<<m1, then, v1 = u1 and v2 = 2u1
    (b) When  m2=m1, then, v1 =0  and v2 = u1
    (c) When  m2>>m1, then, v= -u1 and v2 will be very small.
  • Inelastic collision:- In an inelastic collision, only the quantity momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy.
    v = (m1u1+m2u2) /(m1+m2)
    and
    loss in kinetic energy, E = ½ m1u12+ ½ m2u22 - ½ (m1+ m2)v2
    or,
    E= ½ (m1u12 + m2u22) – ½ [(m1u1+ m2u2)/( m1+ m2)]2
    = m1 m2 (u1-u2)/ 2( m1 + m2)
  • Points to be Notice:-
    (i) The maximum transfer energy occurs if m1= m2
    (ii) If Kis the initial kinetic energy and Kf is the final kinetic energy of mass m1, the fractional decrease in kinetic energy is given by,
    K– Kf / Ki = 1- v12/u21
    Further, if m= nm1 and u2 = 0, then,
    Ki – Kf / K= 4n/(1+n)2
  • Conservation Equation:
    (i)  Momentum – m1u1+m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
    (ii) Energy – ½ m1u12+ ½ m2u22 = ½ m1v12+ ½ m2v22
  • Conservative force (F):- Conservative force is equal to the negative gradient of potential V of the field of that force. This force is also called central force.
    So,  F = - (dV/dr)
  • The line integral of a conservative force around a closed path is always zero.
    So,
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
  • Spring potential energy (Es):- It is defined as,
    Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5
    E= ½ kx2
    Here k is the spring constant and x is the elongation.
  • Equilibrium Conditions:
    (a) Condition for equilibrium, dU/dx = 0
    (b) For stable equilibrium,
    U(x) = minimum,
    dU/dx = 0,
    d2U/dx2 = +ve
    (c) For unstable equilibrium,
    U(x) = maximum
    dU/dx = 0
    d2U/dx2 = -ve
    (d) For neutral equilibrium,
    U(x) = constant
    dU/dx = 0
    d2U/dx= 0

FAQs on Work, Energy & Power Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 5

1. What is work in physics?
Ans. Work in physics is defined as the measure of the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a displacement. It is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the force applied in the direction of displacement with the distance over which the force is applied.
2. How is power defined in physics?
Ans. Power in physics is defined as the rate at which work is done or the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. It is calculated by dividing the amount of work done by the time taken to do the work.
3. What is the difference between work and power?
Ans. The main difference between work and power in physics is that work is a measure of energy transfer, while power is a measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Work depends on both the force applied and the distance moved, while power depends on the amount of work done and the time taken to do the work.
4. How is energy related to work and power?
Ans. Energy is closely related to work and power in physics. Work is the transfer of energy, and power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat, and it exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and electrical energy.
5. What are the SI units for work, power, and energy?
Ans. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), which is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. The SI unit for power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule of work done per second. The SI unit for energy is also the joule (J).
