Chapter 7: Q28P (page 172)

During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke鈥檚 law with a spring constant of 100 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 5.00 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work by the hose on the balloon is Ws=1250J

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  1. The spring constant of the hose is,k=100N/m .
  2. The maximum elongation of the hose is,xi=5.00m.
  3. The final position of the hose is, xf=0m.
02

Understanding the concept

We can use the concept of work done by the spring on the block.

Formulae:

Ws=12kxi2-12kxf2

03

Calculate how much work the force from the hose does on the balloon

Work energy theorem states that change in the kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the work done of the system.

The work by the spring is,

Ws=12kxi2-xf2

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

Ws=12脳100N/m脳5.00m2-0m2Ws=12脳100脳5.0021N/m脳1m2脳1J1N路mWs=1250J

Thus, the work by the hose on the balloon is Ws=1250J.

On August 10, 1972, a large meteorite skipped across the atmosphere above the western United States and western Canada, much like a stone skipped across water. The accompanying fireball was so bright that it could be seen in the daytime sky and was brighter than the usual meteorite trail. The meteorite鈥檚 mass was about 4脳106kg; its speed was about 15km/s. Had it entered the atmosphere vertically, it would have hit Earth鈥檚 surface with about the same speed. (a) Calculate the meteorite鈥檚 loss of kinetic energy (in joules) that would have been associated with the vertical impact. (b) Express the energy as a multiple of the explosive energy of 1 megaton of TNT, which is 4.2脳1015J. (c) The energy associated with the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima was equivalent to 13kilotons of TNT. To how many Hiroshima bombs would the meteorite impact have been equivalent?

A 3.0 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F鈫�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鈫�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鈫�between t=0 and t=2.0 s ?
