Chapter 8: Q107P (page 211)

The only force acting on a particle is conservative force F鈫�. If the particle is at point A, the potential energy of the system associated with F鈫�and the particle is 40 J. If the particle moves from point A to point B, the work done on the particle F鈫�by is +25 J . What is the potential energy of the system with the particle at B?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The potential energy of the particle at B is 15 J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

Work done, W = 25 J

Potential energy at point A,UA=40J

02

To understand the concept:

When conservative force works on an object, the change in potential energy is negative of work done.

Formula:

The work done is equal to the change in potential energy.

Workdone = - Change in PE

03

Calculate the potential energy of the system with the particle at B:

As work done is as same as the change in potential energy. Therefore,

Workdone=-ChangeinPEW=-UB-UA25J=-UB-40J25J=-UB+40JUB-40-25J=15J

Hence, the potential energy of the system with the particle at B is 15 J .

Fasten one end of a vertical spring to a ceiling, attach a cabbage to the other end, and then slowly lower the cabbage until the upward force on it from the spring balances the gravitational force on it. Show that the loss of gravitational potential energy of the cabbage鈥揈arth system equals twice the gain in the spring鈥檚 potential energy.

A 75 gFrisbee is thrown from a point 1.1 mabove the ground with a speed of 12 m/s.When it has reached a height of 2.1 m, its speed is 10.5 m/s. What was the reduction in Emec of the Frisbee-Earth system because of air drag?

A swimmer moves through the water at an average speed of 0.22 m/s. The average drag force is 110 N. What average power is required of the swimmer?

A worker pushed a 27 kgblock9.2 malong a level floor at constant speed with a force directed32掳below the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor was 0.20, what were (a) the work done by the worker鈥檚 force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block鈥� floor system?

The spring in the muzzle of a child鈥檚 spring gun has a spring constant of 700 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first, the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it. The gun鈥檚 trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30oto the horizontal, a 57 gball is shot to a maximum height of 1.83 mabove the gun鈥檚 muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the spring鈥檚 initial compression distance.
