4.5 Kinetic energy

Lecture



Consider the case when a material point moves from point 1 to point 2 under the action of forces applied to it (Fig.4.4.)


4.5 Kinetic energy

Moreover, the forces acting on a material point can have a different nature, i.e. may be conservative and non-conservative. The equation of motion in this case is written as

4.5 Kinetic energy (4.6)

Where 4.5 Kinetic energy
Rewrite (4.6) as

4.5 Kinetic energy (4.7)

Multiply the scalar equation (4.7) by 4.5 Kinetic energy and integrate from point1 to point 2, we get:

4.5 Kinetic energy (4.8)

We take into account that 4.5 Kinetic energy , and the integral on the right side of the expression (4.8) represents the work of all forces, in section 1-2, we can write:

4.5 Kinetic energy (4.9)

magnitude

4.5 Kinetic energy (4.10)

called the kinetic energy of the material point. Thus, the kinetic energy of a material point is the energy that this point possesses due to its movement.

From the obtained expression (4.9) it follows that the work of all the forces acting on the material point on the section of the trajectory 1-2 is equal to the change of its kinetic energy on this section.
