Gravitational Potential Energy

Yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi, yerçekimi alanındaki konumu nedeniyle bir cisimde depolanan enerjidir.
Matematiksel olarak, bir nesnenin yerden ağırlığının ve yüksekliğinin ürünü olarak tanımlanır.
Bu nedenle, yerden y yüksekliğinde asılı duran m kütleli bir topun yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi mgy'dir.
Örneğin, buz hokeyinde, m kütleli bir disk atıştan sonra parabolik bir yol izlerse, B noktasındaki yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi mgy'dir, burada y, diskin yerden yüksekliğidir.
Disk A noktasından B noktasına hareket ettiğinde, yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi arttıkça yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisindeki değişim pozitiftir ve yapılan işin negatifine eşittir.
Benzer şekilde, disk B noktasından C noktasına hareket ettiğinde, yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi azalır ve yerçekimi kuvvetinin yaptığı iş pozitiftir.
Böylece, bir cisim yukarı doğru hareket ettiğinde, cisim aşağı doğru hareket ettiğinde yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisi artar ve azalır.

yerçekimsel potansiyel enerji

Potansiyel enerji sadece her bir nesnenin bir özelliği değil, seçilen bir sistemdeki nesneler arasındaki etkileşimlerin de bir özelliğidir. Bir sistemde mevcut olan her tür etkileşim için bir karşılık gelen potansiyel enerji türü vardır. Sistemin toplam potansiyel enerjisi, tüm nesnelerin potansiyel enerjilerinin toplamıdır. Potansiyel enerji, iki ana kategoriye ayrılabilir: yer çekimi potansiyel enerjisi ve elastik potansiyel enerjisi. Bir cismin ağırlığı ve yerden yüksekliği ile ilişkili olan potansiyel enerji, yer çekimi potansiyel enerjisi olarak adlandırılır.

Her parçice (veya cisim) üzerindeki yer çekimi kuvveti, basitçe yüzeyine yakın ağırlığı (mg) olup, Dünya'nın merkezine doğru etki eder. Newton'un üçüncü hareket yasasına göre, her parçice Dünya üzerinde eşit büyüklükte ve zıt yönde bir kuvvet uygular. Ayrıca, Newton'un ikinci yasası bize bu kuvvetlerin her birinin Dünya üzerindeki ivme büyüklüğünün (mg), Dünya'nın kütlesine bölünmüş olduğunu söyler. Sıradan bir nesnenin kütlesinin Dünya'nın kütlesine oranı oldukça küçük olduğundan, Dünya'nın hareketi tamamen ihmal edilebilir. Bu nedenle, bu sistemi Dünya'nın sabit ve düzenli bir yerçekimi kuvvetine tabi olan tek bir parçacık sistemlerinin grubu olarak ele alırız. Bir cismin Dünya'nın sabit yerçekimi kuvveti tarafından yakınındaki yüzeyine uygulanan iş, cismin kütlesi, yerçekimi ivmesi ve cismin katettiği yükseklik farkına bağlıdır. Bu iş, yerçekimi potansiyel enerjisinin farkının negatifidir.

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 weight and position near Earth. Elastic potential energy is the other major category, and it comes from a different kind of interaction.

Near Earth’s surface, the gravitational force on a body is its weight, or mg, and it points toward the center of Earth. By Newton’s third law, the body pulls on Earth with an equal force in the opposite direction. Newton’s second law shows that Earth’s acceleration from this force is mg divided by Earth’s mass, but Earth is so massive compared with ordinary objects that its motion can be neglected.

Because of this, we treat the situation as a single-particle system in a uniform gravitational field. The work done by Earth’s gravitational force near the surface depends on the object’s mass, the acceleration due to gravity, and the change in height. That work is the negative of the change in gravitational potential energy.

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...

force-and-potential-energy-in-one-dimension

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...

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...
