Question: A particle moves along a straight path through displacement d→=8.0mi^+cj^while forceF→=2.0Ni+4.0Nj acts on it. (Other forces also act on the particle.) What is the value of c if the work done by F→on the particle is (a) zero, (b) positive, and (c) negative?

Short Answer

Answers

  1. The value of c = 4m if work done byF→ on the particle is zero.
  2. The value of c < 4m if work done by F→on the particle is positive.

The value of c > 4m if work done by F→on the particle is negative

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

ForceF→=2Ni^-4Nj^

Distanced→=8mi^-cj^

02

Determining the concept

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 on it.Using the formula of work done, find the value offrom the given force and distance and find if the value of c is zero, positive, or negative.

Formula:

W=F→d→

Where,

F is force; dis displacement and W is the work done.

03

 Step 3: (a) determining the value of c  if work done byF→ on the particle is zero

Now,

W=F→.d→

As,

role="math" localid="1661002427804" F→=2Ni^-4Nj^d→=8mi^-cj^W=2Ni^-4Nj^.8mi^-cj^W=16-4c

If W = 0

0 = 16 - 4C

C = 4 m

Therefore, the value of c = 4m if work done byF→on the particle is zero.

04

(b) determining the value of c if work done by F→ on the particle is positive

Now,

W=F→.d→

As

F→=2Ni^-4Nj^d→=8mi^-cj^W=2Ni^-4Nj^.8mi^-cj^W=16-4c

If W > 0 then 16 > 4C

Therefore,

C> 4

Therefore, the value of c if work done by F→on the particle is positive.

05

(c) Determining the value of c if work done by F→on the particle is negative

Now,

W=F→.d→

As,

F→=2Ni^-4Nj^d→=8mi^-cj^

W=2Ni^-4Nj^.8mi^-cj^

W= 16-4c

If W < 0 then 16 < 4c

Therefore,

C> 4m

Therefore, the value of c if work done byF→on the particle is negative.
