(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.

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?

A force F→=(cx-3.00x2)i^acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, withF→in newtons, x in meters, and c a constant. At x=0, the particle’s kinetic energy is 20 .0 J; at x=3.00 m, it is 11.0 J. Find c.

Figure 7-19 gives the xcomponent fxof a force that can act on a particle. If the particle begins at rest at x=0, what is its coordinate when it has (a) its greatest kinetic energy, (b) its greatest speed, and (c) zero speed? (d) What is the particle’s direction of travel after it reaches x=6m?

An initially stationary 2.0kgobject accelerates horizontally and uniformly to a speed of10 m/sin3.0 s. (a) In that 3.0 sinterval, how much work is done on the object by the force accelerating it? What is the instantaneous power due to that force (b) at the end of the interval and (c) at the end of the first half of the interval?

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’s 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?
