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?

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.

Question: Harvard Bridge, which connects MIT with its fraternities across the Charles River, has a length of 364.4 Smoots plus one ear. The unit of one Smoot is based on the length of Oliver Reed Smoot, Jr., class of 1962, who was carried or dragged length by length across the bridge so that other pledge members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity could mark off (with paint) 1-Smoot lengths along the bridge. The marks have been repainted biannually by fraternity pledges since the initial measurement, usually during times of traffic congestion so that the police cannot easily interfere. (Presumably, the police were originally upset because the Smoot is not an SI base unit, but these days they seem to have accepted the unit.) Figure 1-4 shows three parallel paths, measured in Smoots (S), Willies (W), and Zeldas (Z). What is the length of 50.0 Smoots in (a) Willies and (b) Zeldas?

Question:One clue used by your brain to determine the direction of a source of sound is the delay∆tbetween the arrival of the sound at the ear closer to the source and the arrival at the father ear. Assume that the source is distant so that a wave front from it is approximately planar when it reaches you , and let Drepresent the separation between your ears.(a) If the source is located at anglein front of you figure , what is∆tin term ofD and the speed of soundin air? (b) If you are submerged in water and the speed of sound is directly to your right, what is∆tin terms of Vwand the speed of soundin water? (c) Based on the time –delay clue, your brain interprets the submerged sound to arrive at an angleθ from the forward direction. Evaluateθfor fresh water at 20 0C.
