Dissipative Foces耗散力.pptVIP

Simple Machines Why use a machine? Simple machines actually increase the amount of work because they make the distance traveled farther so they experience more friction But, since there is less force required, it is easier to do the work Example A frictionless ramp is used to lift a 500kg crate up a vertical distance of 1.5m. If the ramp is used is 4.0m long, a) How much work is done using the ramp? b) What force required when using the ramp? c) What is the advantage of the ramp? Dissipative Forces Reality? In reality, non-conservative forces cannot be ignored: friction really does act Dissipative force is one that reduces the total mechanical energy The total energy is conserved, it is just converted into useless forms (heat from friction) KE1 + PE1 = KE2 + PE2 + Dissipative Force Friction Most Common Friction depends on the distance traveled Wf = Ffd KE1 + PE1 = KE2 + PE2 + Ffd Example A 1000kg roller coaster car starting from a height of 40m is found to reach a vertical height of only 25m on the next hill. If the total distance traveled was 400m . Find the force of friction acting on the car. * * *
