(a) at a certain instant, a particle-like object is acted on by a force F→=(4.0 N)i^-(2.0 N)j^+(9.0 N)k^ while the object’s velocity is v→=-(2.0 m/s)i^+(4.0 m/s)k^. What is the instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object?

(b) At some other time, the velocity consists of only a y component. If the force is unchanged and the instantaneous power is -12W , what is the velocity of the object?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object isP=28W.
  2. For instantaneous power P=−12, the velocity of the object isv=6.0 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The object is acted on by the force,

F→=(4.0N)−(2.0N)+(9.0N)

The object’s velocity is,

v→=−(2.0 m/s)+(4.0 m/s)

Instantaneous power P=12 W

02

Determining the concept

By takingthedot product of forceF→ and velocityv→ vectors, the instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object and for other instantaneous powerP,the velocityV of the object can be calculated.

Formula is as follow:

The instantaneous power is,P=F→.v→

Where,

P is instantaneous power, F→ is force vector and v→ is velocity vector.

03

(a) Determining the instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object 

The object is acted on by the force is given as,

F→=(4.0N)i^−(2.0N)j^+(9.0N)k^

And, the object’s velocity is,

v→=−(2.0m/s)i^+(4.0m/s)k^

Now, the instantaneous power is,

P=F→.v→

P=[(4.0)i^−(2.0)j^+(9.0)k^].[−(2.0)i^+(4.0)k^]

P={(4.0)i^.[−(2.0)i^+(4.0)k^]−(2.0)j^.[−(2.0)i^+(4.0)k^]+(9.0)k^.[−(2.0)i^+(4.0)k^]}

P={[−8.0+0.0]−[0.0+0.0]+[0.0+36]}

P=28W

Hence, the instantaneous rate at which the force does work on the object is P=28W.

04

(b) determining the velocity of the object at some other time 

Similarly, instantaneous power is,

P=F→.v→

For instantaneous power P=12 Wv→consists only y component, therefore,

P=(−2.0)v

Therefore, the velocity is,

v=P(−2.0)

v=−12(−2.0)

v=6.0 m/s

Hence, for instantaneous power P=−12, the velocity of the object is v=6.0 m/s.

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’s mass was about 4×106kg; its speed was about 15km/s. Had it entered the atmosphere vertically, it would have hit Earth’s surface with about the same speed. (a) Calculate the meteorite’s 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 4.2×1015J. (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 cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M at a constant downward acceleration ofg4 .When the block has fallen a distance d , find

(a) the work done by the cord’s force on the block,

(b) the work done by the gravitational force on the block,

(c) the kinetic energy of the block, and

(d) the speed of the block.

Figure 7-27 shows an overhead view of three horizontal forces acting on a cargo canister that was initially stationary but now moves across a frictionless floor. The force magnitudes are F1=3.00N, F2=4.00N, and F3=10.00N, and the indicated angles are θ2=50.0°and θ3=35.0°. What is the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first 4.00 m of displacement?

In Fig.7-10 , we must apply a force of magnitude to hold the block stationary at x=-2.0cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +4.0J of work on the spring–block system; the block is then again stationary. What is the block’s position? (Hint:There are two answers.)

Boxes are transported from one location to another in a warehouse by means of a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. At a certain location the conveyor belt moves for 2.0 m up an incline that makes an angle of 10°with the horizontal, then for 2.0 m horizontally, and finally for 2.0 m down an incline that makes an angle of 10°ith the horizontal. Assume that a 2.0 kg box rides on the belt without slipping. At what rate is the force of the conveyor belt doing work on the box as the box moves (a) up the 10°incline, (b) horizontally, and (c) down the 10°incline?
