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.

In the United States, a doll house has the scale of 1:12of a real house (that is, each length of the doll house is 112that of the real house) and a miniature house (a doll house to fit within a doll house) has the scale of 1:144of a real house. Suppose a real house (Fig. 1-7) has a front length of 20 m, a depth of 12 m, a height of 6.0 m, and a standard sloped roof (vertical triangular faces on the ends) of height 3.0 m. In cubic meters, what are the volumes of the corresponding (a) doll house and (b) miniature house?

Figure 1-7 Problem 32

The block in Fig. 7-10a lies on a horizontal frictionless surface, and the spring constant is 50N/m. Initially, the spring is at its relaxed length and the block is stationary at position x=0. Then an applied force with a constant magnitude of 3.0 N pulls the block in the positive direction of the x axis, stretching the spring until the block stops. When that stopping point is reached, what are (a) the position of the block, (b) the work that has been done on the block by the applied force, and (c) the work that has been done on the block by the spring force? During the block’s displacement, what are (d) the block’s position when its kinetic energy is maximum and (e) the value of that maximum kinetic energy?

A cord is a volume of cut wood equal to a stack 8 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 4 ft high. How many cords are in1.0m3?

Figure 7-41shows a cord attached to a cart that can slide along a frictionless horizontal rail aligned along an x axis. The left end of the cord is pulled over a pulley, of negligible mass and friction and at cord heighth=1.20m, so the cart slides fromx1=3.00mtox2=1.00m. During the move, the tension in the cord is a constant25.0N. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the cart during the move?

(c) Repeat part (a) for parallel currents.
