A 3.0 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F→acting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body. A stroboscopic graph of the position of the body as it slides to the right is shown in Fig. 7-25. The force F→is applied to the body at t=0, and the graph records the position of the body at 0.50 s intervals. How much work is done on the body by the applied force F→between t=0 and t=2.0 s ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done on the body by force F→ between the t=0 and t=2.0 s is 0.96 J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  1. Mass, m=3.0 kg.
  2. Time interval, t=0 s to t=2.0 s.
  3. x0 is the initial position, which is 0.
02

Understanding the concept

Using the formula of the second kinematic equation, we can writetheequation of displacement for any two points. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find velocity. Using this velocity, we can computethework done on the body by forcebetween two intervals.

Formula:

x=v0+12at2vf=vi+atW=∆KE

03

Calculate the initial and final velocities

The position of a particle can be calculated as,

xt=x0+v0t+12at2

Here x0 is the initial position, v0 is the initial velocity, and a is the acceleration of the particle.

For x=0.2mandx=0.8m, the above expression can be written as,

0.2m=v01s+12a1s20.8m=v02s+12a2s2

From the above two equations, we can calculate,

v0=0ms,a=0.40ms2

Now, for the velocity at t=2.0 s

vf=vi+atvf=0ms+0.40ms22.0svf=0.80ms

04

Calculate the work done on the body by the applied force F→ between t=0 and t=2.0 s

According to the work-energy theorem, the change in kinetic energy is the work done on the system.

Therefore, work done can be calculated as,

W=∆KE=Kf-Ki=12mvf2-12mvi2

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

W=123.0kg0.80ms2-123.0kg0ms2=0.96.1kg.ms2×1J1kg.ms2W=0.96J

Therefore, the work done on the body by force data-custom-editor="chemistry" F→between the t=0 and t=2.0 s is 0.96 J.

A ice block floating in a river is pushed through a displacement d→=(15m)i^-(12m)j^along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force data-custom-editor="chemistry" F→=(210N)i^-(150N)j^ on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during the displacement?

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in 3.0 min , starting and ending at rest. The elevator’s counterweight has a mass of only 950 kg, and so the elevator motor must help. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?
