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.

A 0.30 kgladle sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k=500N/m) whose other end is fixed. The ladle has a kinetic energy of 10 J as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero). (a) At what rate is the spring doing work on the ladle as the ladle passes through its equilibrium position? (b) At what rate is the spring doing work on the ladle when the spring is compressed 0.10 mand the ladle is moving away from the equilibrium position?

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.)

Figure 7-16a shows two horizontal forces that act on a block that is sliding to the right across a frictionless floor. Figure F-16b shows three plots of the block’s kinetic energy K versus time t. Which of the plots best corresponds to the following three situations:(a)F1=F2,(b)F1>F2,(c)F1<F2,?

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?

In Fig. 7-33, a horizontal force F→aof magnitude 20.0Nis applied to a 3.00kgpsychology book as the book slides a distanced=0.500mup a frictionless ramp at angle θ=30.0°. (a) During the displacement, what is the net work done on the book by F→a, the gravitational force on the book, and the normal force on the book? (b) If the book has zero kinetic energy at the start of the displacement, what is its speed at the end of the displacement?
