Force and Potential Energy in One Dimension

Konservative Kräfte können in Form von potentieller Energie ausgedrückt werden.
Stellen Sie sich einen Körper vor, der sich aufgrund einer konservativen Kraft, die eine Funktion der Position ist, entlang einer geraden Linie bewegt.
Nun ist die Arbeit, die die konservative Kraft leistet, gleich dem Negativen der Veränderung ihrer potentiellen Energie.
Die geleistete Arbeit ist auch gleich dem Produkt aus Kraft und der durch die Kraft verursachten Verschiebung.
Somit ist die Kraft auf den Körper gleich dem Minus der Änderung der potentiellen Energie dividiert durch die Verschiebung. 
Das negative Vorzeichen zeigt an, dass die konservative Kraft das System auf eine niedrigere potentielle Energie zieht.
Für sehr kleine Verschiebungen kann der Ausdruck für Kraft und potentielle Energie in einer Dimension festgelegt werden.
Um das Verhältnis von Kraft und potentieller Energie zu verifizieren, betrachten wir das Beispiel der elastischen potentiellen Energie. Wenn man es in das Kraft- und Energieverhältnis einfügt, wird die Formel für das Hookesche Gesetz festgelegt.

kraft und potenzielle energie in einer dimension

Die Kraft kann aus dem Ausdruck für potenzielle Energie berechnet werden, der eine Funktion der Position ist. Die Komponente einer konservativen Kraft in einer bestimmten Richtung entspricht dem Negativen der Ableitung der entsprechenden potenziellen Energie nach der Verschiebung in diese Richtung. In Bereichen, in denen sich die potenzielle Energie schnell mit der Verschiebung ändert, ist die geleistete Arbeit und die Kraft maximal. Wenn die Kraft entlang der positiven Koordinatenachse ausgeübt wird, nimmt die potenzielle Energie mit zunehmender Verschiebung ab. Daher haben Kraft und die Ableitung der potenziellen Energie nach der Verschiebung entgegengesetzte Vorzeichen.

Zum Beispiel, wenn die potenzielle Energie eines Teilchens, das sich eindimensional entlang der x-Achse bewegt, gegeben ist durch

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12677/12677_Equation_1.png" style="height: 32px;" />

c= 8 N/m³, wie lautet dann die Kraft für die gegebene potenzielle Energie? Hier ist die bekannte Größe die potenzielle Energie. Die unbekannte Größe, die Kraft, muss berechnet werden.

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12677/12677_Equation_2.png" style="height: 32px;" />

Unter Einbeziehung des Wertes der potenziellen Energie in den obigen Ausdruck wird die Kraft entlang der x-Richtung berechnet als -cx³. Durch Einsetzen des Werts von c ergibt sich, dass die Kraft -8x³ beträgt.

Die potenzielle Energie-Funktion für die Kraft zwischen zwei Atomen in einem diatomischen Molekül wird ungefähr durch folgenden Ausdruck beschrieben:

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12677/12677_Equation_3.png" style="height: 32px;" />

c= 8 N/m³, wie lautet dann die Kraft für die gegebene potenzielle Energie? Hier ist die bekannte Größe die potenzielle Energie. Die unbekannte Größe, die Kraft, muss berechnet werden.

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12677/12677_Equation_4.png" style="height: 14px;" />

Unter Einbeziehung des Wertes der potenziellen Energie in den obigen Ausdruck wird die Kraft entlang der x-Richtung berechnet als -cx³. Durch Einsetzen des Werts von c ergibt sich, dass die Kraft -8x³ beträgt.

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12677/12677_Equation_5.png" style="height: 32px;" />

Die potenzielle Energie-Funktion für die Kraft zwischen zwei Atomen in einem diatomischen Molekül wird ungefähr durch folgenden Ausdruck beschrieben:

wobei a und b Konstanten sind und x der Abstand zwischen den Atomen ist. Wenn die Dissoziationsenergie des Moleküls gegeben ist durch

D= 8 N/m³, wie lautet dann der Wert von D? Hier ist die bekannte Größe die potenzielle Energie. Die unbekannte Größe ist die Dissoziationsenergie des Moleküls. Durch Einsetzen der potenziellen Energie-Funktion erhalten wir den Ausdruck für die Kraft. Da die resultierende Kraft im Gleichgewicht null ist, erhalten wir

Nun wird der Wert von x^6 in den Ausdruck für die potenzielle Energie eingesetzt. Da die potenzielle Energie im Unendlichen null ist, wird die Dissoziationsenergie des Moleküls als b^2/4a berechnet.

finding force from potential energy

Force can be found from potential energy when the energy is written as a function of position. For a conservative force, the force component in a given direction equals the negative derivative of the matching potential energy with respect to displacement. This means force and the slope of potential energy have opposite signs.

Where potential energy changes quickly with displacement, the force and the work done are largest. When a force acts along the positive coordinate axis, potential energy decreases as displacement increases. In one-dimensional motion, this relationship is often used to move from a known potential energy function to the force it produces.

For example, if a particle moves along the x-axis and its potential energy is given with c = 8 N/m^3, the force can be calculated from that expression. The potential energy is the known quantity, and the force is the unknown quantity. Differentiating the energy function gives the x-direction force as -cx^3, which becomes -8x^3 after substituting the value of c.

The same idea also applies to the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule. Their potential energy can be written approximately as a function of distance x, with a and b as constants. If the dissociation energy is needed, the force is first found from the potential energy, and the equilibrium point is used because the net force is zero there. Then the value of x^6 is substituted into the energy expression, and since the potential energy at infinity is zero, the dissociation energy is b^2/4a.

Finding Force from Potential Energy

gravitational potential energy

Gravitational Energy from Height and Weight

Gravitational potential energy depends on an object’s weight and its height above the ground. It is one part of the total potential energy of a system, which comes from the interactions between objects. In a system, the total potential energy is the sum of the potential energies for all the objects. Potential energy is usually grouped into two main categories: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. Gravitational potential energy describes the energy tied to a body’s...

elastic potential energy

Spring Force and Stored Energy

Elastic potential energy is stored when an elastic object is deformed, such as when a spring is stretched. An object is elastic if it returns to its original shape and size after the force is removed. This stored energy is part of a system’s potential energy. An ideal spring also exerts an elastic force. The work done by this force can be described as a change in the spring’s elastic potential energy. For a perfectly elastic spring in one dimension, that work depends only on the spring...

conservation of mechanical energy

Mechanical Energy in Isolated Systems

Mechanical energy in an isolated system is the total of kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and potential energy is stored energy. The transcript focuses on what happens when energy shifts within a system without outside influence. In this case, only conservative forces act on the objects in the system. Conservative forces can transfer energy between kinetic energy and potential energy. Friction and drag do not act here, and no external force from...

work done on a system by external force

External Work, Energy, and Thermal Loss

External work on a system can change its energy in more than one way. For a single particle, work done by an external force changes kinetic energy. For a system of interacting particles, internal forces also matter, and potential energy helps describe their effect. The net work done by an external force can be written as the total change in mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy and potential energy. When the system gains or loses this energy, the work expression...

conservative forces

Conservative Forces and Path Independence

Conservative forces are forces for which the work done depends only on the starting and ending points. In this case, the work is path independent. That means the total energy of the system, including kinetic energy and potential energy, stays conserved during the change. This idea follows the law of conservation of energy. When energy shifts between kinetic and potential forms, the total amount remains the same. Because the work is completely reversible, an object can start and stop at any two...

non-conservative forces

Friction and Energy Loss in Motion

Non-conservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, remove energy from a system as it moves. The energy is not stored as potential energy. Instead, it is lost from the system and cannot be used later for useful work. These forces are path-dependent, which means the route matters. Where an object starts and stops can change the work done. A grinding wheel is one example, because the work depends on how many rotations the wheel makes. Non-conservative forces also turn large-scale...

conservation of energy

Energy Changes in a Closed System

Energy changes in a closed system follow a conservation law in physics. A conserved quantity is not the same as the everyday use of the word "conserved." In science, a conserved quantity stays constant, or it changes by a definite amount that is transferred to another system and converted into another form of the same quantity. This means a conserved quantity can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed in a strict physical sense. For that reason, physics does not have a law of...

conservation of energy: application

Energy Conservation Problem-Solving Steps

Energy conservation problem-solving uses a clear set of steps. First, identify the system you want to study. In many cases, that system includes more than one body at the same time. Next, identify the forces acting on the object and decide whether each force is conservative. A conservative force is one whose work can be described with potential energy. If a non-conservative force such as friction does work, then mechanical energy is not conserved, and the system must be analyzed with...

Gradient Force from 3D Potential Energy

Gradient force from 3D potential energy shows how a conservative force changes along the x, y, and z axes. The potential energy function U depends on all three spatial coordinates. Each force component is linked to how U changes with position along one coordinate. In one dimension, force can be written as the negative ratio of the change in potential energy to the displacement along that axis. For very small displacements, these ratios become derivatives. When a function has several variables,...

Potential Energy Diagrams and Stability

Potential energy diagrams help describe how a mechanical system moves. Because energy is a scalar quantity, the system’s behavior is easier to interpret from the diagram. A skater on a parabolic ramp is a clear example. The ramp height changes with horizontal position, so the potential energy changes as well. As the skater moves down from the highest point, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The net force on the skater is gravitational force,...

Stability in Potential Energy Diagrams

Potential energy diagrams show how stable a system is at different positions. Their shape, or topology, helps identify equilibrium points. An equilibrium point is a place where the system can stay in balance because the net force is zero. At a local minimum, the potential energy is lowest. The system tends to remain there unless a net force acts on it. The slope at the minimum is zero. The slope is positive on both sides, so the force acts as a restoring force and pushes the system back. A...
