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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done Won the object by the force is 1.0×102J
  2. Instantaneous powerP due to the force at the end of the interval is 67 W
  3. Instantaneous power P'due to the force at the end of the first half of the interval is 33 W.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

The mass of the object is m=2.0 kg.

The speed of the object is v= 10 m/s.

Time interval is t=3.0 s.

02

Determining the concept

The problem deals with the power and the work done. Work, energy, and power are the fundamental concepts of physics. Work is the displacement of an object when force is applied on it. From the given values of mass mand speed v, find the work doneW.By finding the value of forceF, find theinstantaneous power Pand P'due to the force at the end of the interval and at the end of the first half of the interval respectively.

Formulae are as follow:

The work done is

W=12mv2

The instantaneous power is

P=Fv

The acceleration is

a=vt

where, Fis force, d is displacement, P is the power, Wis the work done, vis velocity, ais an acceleration, t is the time and m is mass.

03

(a) Determining the work done W on the object by the force

The work done is given by,

W=12mv2W=12×2.0×102W=1.0×102J

Hence, the work doneWon the object by the force is W=1.0×102J.

04

(b) determining the instantaneous power Pdue to the force at the end of the interval

The instantaneous power is given by,

P=Fv

But, according to Newton’s second law,

F=ma=mvt

Substituting this,

P=mvtvP=mv2tP=2.0×1023.0P=67W

Hence, instantaneous power due to the force at the end of the interval isP=67W

05

(c) Determining the instantaneous power P' due to the force at the end of the first half of the interval

The velocity att'=1.5sis,

v'=at'

But,acceleration

a=vt=103.0=3.3m/s2

Substituting this,

v'=3.3×1.5=5.0m/s

Therefore, the instantaneous power is given by,

P'=Fv'

But, force

F=ma=2.0×3.3=6.6N

Substituting this,

P'=6.6×5.0P'=33W

Hence, instantaneous power P'due to the force at the end of the first half of the interval isP'=33W.

Figure 7-40 gives the acceleration of a 2.00 kg particle as an applied force Fa→ moves it from rest along an x axis fromx=0tox=9.0m. The scale of the figure’s vertical axis is set byas=6.0m/s2. How much work has the force done on the particle when the particle reaches (a) x=4.0 m, (b) x=7.0 m, and (c) x=9.0 m? What is the particle’s speed and direction of travel when it reaches (d) x=4.0 m, (e) x=7.0 m, and (f) x=9.0 m ?

(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?

A frightened child is restrained by her mother as the child slides down a frictionless playground slide. If the force on the child from the mother is100Nup the slide, the child’s kinetic energy increases by 30Jas she moves down the slide a distance of1.8m. (a) How much work is done on the child by the gravitational force during the1.8m descent? (b) If the child is not restrained by her mother, how much will the child’s kinetic energy increase as she comes down the slide that same distance of1.8m?
