A 4.00 kg block is pulled up a frictionless inclined plane by a 50.0 N force that is parallel to the plane, starting from rest. The normal force on the block from the plane has magnitude 13.41 N. What is the block’s speed when its displacement up the ramp is 3.00 m?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Block’s speed at 3.00 m on the ramp is 4.44 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

Mass of the block is m=4.00 kg

Applied force is F =50.0 N

The normal force on the block N =13.41 N

Displacement is d =3.00 m

02

Determining the concept of work done

The problem deals with the work done which is the fundamental concept of physics. Work is the displacement of an object when force is applied to it. Also, it involves Newton’s second law of motion which can be used to find net force. Using the net force and displacement,thework done can be calculated. From the relation betweenthework done and kinetic energy,thefinal velocity of the block at 3.00m on the ramp will be found.

Formulae:

According to Newton’s second law, the force is given by,

F =ma

Work done can be expressed as,

W =Fd

W=12mvf2-12mvi2

Where, F is the force, W is the work done,vf,vi, are final and initial velocities, m is the mass, d is the displacement and a is an acceleration.


03

Determining the block’s speed at 3.00 on the ramp

From the above figure, findthenet force to findthework done becausetheweight component is opposite to the applied force.

Normal force has been given.Usingthis, findanangle.

N=mg³¦´Ç²õθ13.41N=4.00kg×9.8m/s2׳¦´Ç²õ賦´Ç²õθ=13.41N4.00kg×9.8m/s2=0.3420θ=cos-10.3420=69.995°

So, find another component of weight,

mgsinθ=4.00kg×9.8m/s2×sin69.995mgsinθ=36.8347N

Using Newton’s second law, findthenet force,

Fnet=F-mgsinθ=50N-36.8347N=13.1652N

Now, find the work done by this net force,

W=Fnetdcosϕ

WhereϕIs the angle between force and displacement.

Here, the angle ϕ=0°,

W=13.1652N3.00mcos0=39.4956J

The other equation is known, which relates the work done and kinetic energy,

W=12mvf2-12mvi2

The block is pulled from rest, so,vi=0

39.4956J=124.00kgvf2-124.00kg02vf2=39.4956J×24.00kg=19.7478m2/s2vf=4.44m/s

Hence, the speed of the block at 3.00m on the ramp is vf=4.44m/s.

In three situations, a single force acts on a moving particle. Here are the velocities (at that instant) and the forces: (1) v⇶Ä=(-4iÁåœ)m/s,f=(6iÁåœ-20)N:(2) vÁåœ=(-3iÁåœ+jÁåœ)m/s,f⇶Ä=(2iÁåœ+6jÁåœ)N(3) v⇶Ä=(-3iÁåœ+jÁåœ)m/s,f⇶Ä=(2iÁåœ+6jÁåœ)N. Rank the situations according to the rate at which energy is being transferred, greatest transfer to the particle ranked first, greatest transfer from the particle ranked last.

Figure 7-23 shows three arrangements of a block attached to identical springs that are in their relaxed state when the block is centered as shown. Rank the arrangements according to the magnitude of the net force on the block, largest first, when the block is displaced by distance d (a) to the right and (b) to the left. Rank the arrangements according to the work done on the block by the spring forces, greatest first, when the block is displaced by d (c) to the right and (d) to the left.
