A single force acts on a 3.0 kgparticle-like object whose position is given byx=3.0t-4.0t2+1.0t3, with x in meters and t in seconds. Find the work done by the force fromt=0tot=4.0s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done by the force from t=0tot=4.0sis5.28×102J

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. The mass of the particlem=3.0kg
  2. The position of the particlex=3.0t-4.0t2+1.0t3
02

Understanding concept of work done

The problem deals with the concept of work done. It includes both forces exerted on the body and the total displacement of the body. We can find the work done by finding the work done by the given force over a small displacement and integrate it over the given limits.

Formula:

W=∫x1x2F(x)dxv=dxdt

03

Calculate the work done

The work done by a force is given by

W=∫Fdx

But, we can also write,

F=ma=mdvdt

So,

W=∫Fdvdtdx=∫mdvdtdx=∫mdxdtdv=∫mvdv

We are given the expression for x in terms of t. By differentiating the expression with respect to t, we can determine the expressions for v and dv.

x=3.0t-4.0t2+1.0t3v=dxdt=3.0-8.0t+3.0t2

And,

dv=-8.0+6.0tdt

Now,

vdv=3.0-8.0t+3.0t2-8.0+6.0tdtvdv=-24+82t-72t218t3dt

Now, we can determine the work done as

W=∫mvdv=∫t1t23.0×-24+82t-72t2+18t3dtW=3-24t+82t22-72t33+18t4404W=5.28×102J

Therefore the work done by the force from t=0tot=4.0sis 5.28×102J.

Figure 21-14 shows two charged particles on an axis. The charges are free to move. However, a third charged particle can be placed at a certain point such that all three particles are then in equilibrium. (a) Is that point to the left of the first two particles, to their right, or between them? (b) Should the third particle be positively or negatively charged? (c) Is the equilibrium stable or unstable?

Until 1883, every city and town in the United States kept its own local time. Today, travelers reset their watches only when the time change equals 1.0 h. How far, on the average, must you travel in degrees of longitude between the time-zone boundaries at which your watch must be reset by 1.0 h? (Hint: Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h.)

Figure 10-35shows three 0.0100kg particles that have been glued to a rod of length L=6.00cm and negligible mass. The assembly can rotate around a perpendicular axis through point Oat the left end. If we remove one particle (that is, 33%of the mass), by what percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease when that removed particle is (a) the innermost one and (b) the outermost one?

A vertical container with base area measuring 14.0cmby17.0cmis being filled with identical pieces of candy, each with a volume of 50.0mm3and a mass of 0.0200g. Assume that the volume of the empty spaces between the candies is negligible. If the height of the candies in the container increases at the rate of 0.250cm/s, at what rate (kilograms per minute) does the mass of the candies in the container increase?

Figure 3-25 shows vectorA⇶Äand four other vectors that have the same magnitude but differ in orientation. (a) Which of those other four vectors have the same dot product withA⇶Ä? (b) Which have a negative dot product withA⇶Ä?
