Chapter 7: Problem 10

A person brings a mass of \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) from infinity to a point \(A\). Initially the mass was at rest but it moves at a speed of \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) as it reaches \(A\). The work done by the person on the mass is \(-3 \mathrm{~J}\). The potential at \(A\) is (A) \(-3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}\) (B) \(-2 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}\) (C) \(-5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}\) (D) None of these

Short Answer

Expert verified
The potential at point A is (A) \(-3\ \mathrm{J/kg}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify relevant variables

We are given: - Mass, m = 1 kg - Initial speed, v_initial = 0 m/s (at rest) - Final speed, v_final = 2 m/s - Work done by the person, W = -3 J We need to find the potential at point A (V_A).
02

Apply the Work-Energy Theorem

The Work-Energy Theorem states that the work done by all forces acting on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. \( W = \Delta KE \) where 螖KE is the change in kinetic energy.
03

Calculate the change in kinetic energy

The kinetic energy is given by the formula: \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \) where - m is the mass of the object, and - v is its velocity. The change in kinetic energy is the difference between the final and initial kinetic energy: \( \Delta KE = KE_{final} - KE_{initial} \) We plug in the given values: \( \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(1\ \mathrm{kg})(2\ \mathrm{m/s})^2 - \frac{1}{2}(1\ \mathrm{kg})(0\ \mathrm{m/s})^2 = 2\ \mathrm{J} - 0\ \mathrm{J} = 2\ \mathrm{J} \)
04

Calculate the change in potential

Since the work done equals the change in kinetic energy, we can find the change in potential by equating the work done to the change in potential energy: \( W = \Delta PE \) We plug in the given values: \( -3\ \mathrm{J} = \Delta PE \)
05

Calculate the potential at point A

Now we can find the potential at point A: \( V_A = \frac{\Delta PE}{m} \) We plug in the values: \( V_A = \frac{-3\ \mathrm{J}}{1\ \mathrm{kg}} = -3\ \mathrm{J/kg} \) Therefore, the potential at point A is: (A) \(-3\ \mathrm{J/kg}\).

In the solar system, the inter-planetary region has chunks of matter (much smaller in size compared to planets) called asteroids. They (A) will not move around the sun, since they have very small masses compared to the sun. (B) will move in an irregular way because of their small masses and will drift away into outer space. (C) will move around the sun in closed orbits but not obey Kepler's laws. (D) will move in orbits like planets and obey Kepler's laws.
