Kinetic Energy and the Work–Kinetic Energy Theorem (2 of 2)
Wext K f K i K
When work is done on a system and the only change in the system is in the
speed of its members, the net work done on the system equals the change in
kinetic energy of the system: W = K.

Conceptual Example 7.7: Does the Ramp Lesson the
Work Required?
A man wishes to load a refrigerator onto a truck using a ramp at angle as shown
in the figure. He claims that less work would be required to load the truck if the
length L of the ramp were increased so that the angle would be smaller. Is his
claim valid?

Example 7.8: The Proud Athlete and the Sore Toe (1 of 3)
A trophy being shown off by a careless athlete slips from the athlete’s hands and
drops on his foot. Choosing floor level as the y = 0 point of your coordinate
system, estimate the change in gravitational potential energy of the trophy–Earth
system as the trophy falls. Repeat the calculation, using the top of the athlete’s
head as the origin of coordinates.

Example 7.9: Force and Energy on an Atomic Scale (1 of 3)
The potential energy associated with the force between two neutral atoms in a
molecule can be modeled by the Lennard–Jones potential energy function:
12 6
U r 4
r r
where r is the separation of the atoms. The function U(r) contains two parameters
and that are determined from experiments. Sample values for the interaction
between two atoms in a molecule are = 0.263 nm and = 1.51 10−22 J. Using
a spreadsheet or similar tool, graph this function and find the most likely distance
between the two atoms.
