5.2.2 Potential Energy
is defined as the energy stored in a body or system because
of its position, shape and state.
Gravitational potential energy, U
is defined as the energy stored in a body or system because
of its position.
Equation :
U mgh
where U : gravitatio nal potential energy
m : mass of a body
g : acceleration due to gravity
h : height of a body from the initial position
The gravitational potential energy depends only on the height
of the object above the surface of the Earth.

CHAPTER 5 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Work-gravitational potential energy theorem
Consider a book with mass, m is dropped from height, h1 to
height, h2 as shown in the Figure 5.10.
The work done by the gravitational force
(weight) is
s mg Wg mgs mg h1 h2
h1 Wg mgh1 mgh2 U i U f
mg
Wg U f U i U
h2
Therefore in general,
Figure 5.10
W U
states the change in gravitational potential energy as
the negative of the work done by the gravitational force.
35
CHAPTER 5 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Negative sign in the equation indicates that
When the body moves down, h decreases, the
gravitational force does positive work because U <0.
When the body moves up, h increases, the work done
by gravitational force is negative because U >0.
For calculation, use
W U U f U i
where
U f : final gravitatio nal potential energy
U i : initial gravitatio nal potential energy
W : work done by a gravitatio nal force

Elastic potential energy, Us
is defined as the energy stored in in elastic materials as the
result of their stretching or compressing.
Springs are a special instance of device which can store
elastic potential energy due to its compression or
stretching.
Hookes Law states the restoring force, Fs of spring is
directly proportional to the amount of stretch or
compression (extension or elongation), x if the limit of
proportionality is not exceeded
OR Fs x
Fs kx
where
Fs : the restoring force of spring
k : the spring constant or force constant
x : the amount of stretch or compressio n ( x f -xi ) 39
CHAPTER 5 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Negative sign in the equation indicates that the direction of Fs
is always opposite to the direction of the amount of stretch or
compression (extension), x.

CHAPTER 5 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Notes :
In practice, Pout< Pin hence < 100%.
The system loses energy to its surrounding because it may
have encountered resistances such as surface friction or
air resistance.
The energy which is dissipated to the surroundings, may
be in the form of heat or sound.
Example 5.14 :
A 1.0 kW motor is used to lift an object of mass 10 kg vertically
upwards at a constant speed. The efficiency of the motor is 75 %.
Determine
a. the rate of heat dissipated to the surrounding.
b. the vertical distance travelled by the object in 5.0 s.
(Given g = 9.81 m s2 )

CHAPTER 5 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Solution : m 10.0 kg; 75%; Pin 1000 W

Figure 5.21
A car of mass 1500 kg moves at a constant speed v up a road
with an inclination of 1 in 10 as shown in Figure 5.21. All
resistances against the motion of the car can be neglected. If
the engine car supplies a power of 12.5 kW, calculate the
speed v.
