The force on a particle is directed along an x axis and given byF=F0(xx0-1). Find the work done by the force in moving the particle from x=0tox=x0 by (a) plotting F(x) and measuring the work from the graph and (b) integratingF(x).

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The net work done by the given force using graph is 0
  2. The net work done by the given force using integration is 0

Step by step solution

01

Given

The given force function is,

F=F0xx0-1

The particle moves from x=0tox=2x0

02

Understanding concept of calculating work done

We can use the equation of work fortheintegration method. For the graph method, the work done is equal to the area under the curve in the graph.

Formula:

W=∫xixfF(x)dxA=12×base×height

03

(a) Plot  and calculate the work done from it  

The given function of force is,

F=F0xx0-1

So,

For x=0

F = -F0

For x=x

F = 0

For x=x

F = F0

We can plot the graph of F(x) using these points as

The work done, from the graph, is simply the area under the curve.

In the above graph,we see that the area under the curve from x=0tox=2x0is equal to the area under the curve for x=0tox=2x0and both are opposite to each other

So, the work done from the graph is W=0J

04

(b) Calculate the work done by using integration method  

Using the integration method, we have

W=∫xixfFxdxW=∫02x0F0xx0-1dxW=F0x22x0-x02x0W=2x0-2x0W=0J

Therefore, work done is 0 J.

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth’s surface.Neglect the rotation of Earth. What multiple of Earth’s radius gives the radial distance a projectile reaches if (a) its initial speed is 0.500 of the escape speed from Earth and(b) its initial kinetic energy is 0.500 of the kinetic energy required to escape Earth?(c)What is the least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth?

A tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car sticker advertised that the car’s fuel consumption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. The tourist does not realize that the U.K. gallon differs from the U.S. gallon:

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liters

1U.S.gallon=3.7854118liters

For a trip of 750 miles (in the United States), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?
