(a) In Problem 5, what is the speed of the flake when it reaches the bottom of the bowl? (b) If we substituted a second flake with twice the mass, what would its speed be? (c) If, instead, we gave the flake an initial downward speed along the bowl, would the answer to (a) increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)v=2.08ms

b)v=2.08ms

c) Speed of the bowl at the bottom will increase.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Given

Mass of ice flake,

m=2.0×10−3 k²µ

Radius,

(r)=0.22m

02

To understand the concept

The problem deals with the law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of energy states that, total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

Formula:

Initialtotalenergy=Finaltotalenergy

03

(a) Calculate the speed of the flake when it reaches the bottom of the bowl

According to the law of conservation of energy:

KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf

12mv2+0=0+mgr

Hence,

v=(2gr)

v=2×0.22×9.8

v=2.08m/s

04

(b) Calculate the speed if we substituted a second flake with twice the mass

If the mass of flake is doubled, then there would be no change in speed, because the speed of flake doesn’t depend on the mass.

Hence,

v=2.08 m/s

05

(c) Figure out if the answer to (a) would increase, decrease, or remain the same if the flake is given an initial downward speed along the bowl

According to law of conservation of energy:

KEf=KEi+PEi−PEf

This indicates that if initial speed is greater, the final speed must increase.

In Fig. 8-46, a spring with k=170 N/mis at the top of a frictionless incline of angleθ=37.0°. The lower end of the incline is distance D = 1.00 mfrom the end of the spring, which is at its relaxed length. A 2.00 kgcanister is pushed against the spring until the spring is compressed 0.200 mand released from rest. (a) What is the speed of the canister at the instant the spring returns to its relaxed length (which is when the canister loses contact with the spring)? (b) What is the speed of the canister when it reaches the lower end of the incline?

Figure 8-34 shows a thin rod, of length L=2.00m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A ball of mass m=5.00kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angleθ0=30.0° and released with initial velocity v→0=0. As the ball descends to its lowest point, (a) how much work does the gravitational force do on it and (b) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the ball–Earth system? (c) If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the lowest point, what is its value just as the ball is released? (d) Do the magnitudes of the answers to (a) through (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same if angleθ0 is increased?

In Fig. 8-38, the string is L=120 cmlong, has a ball attached to one end, and is fixed at its other end. A fixed peg is at pointP. Released from rest, the ball swings down until the string catches on the peg; then the ball swings up, around the peg. If the ball is to swing completely around the peg, what value must distancedexceed? (Hint: The ball must still be moving at the top of its swing. Do you see why?)

A 60 kg skier leaves the end of a ski-jump ramp with a velocity of 24 m/s directed 25°above the horizontal. Suppose that as a result of air drag the skier returns to the ground with a speed of 22 m/s, landing 14 m vertically below the end of the ramp. From the launch to the return to the ground, by how much is the mechanical energy of the skier-Earth system reduced because of air drag?

When a particle moves from f to i and from j to i along the paths shown in Fig. 8-28, and in the indicated directions, a conservative force F→does the indicated amounts of work on it. How much work is done on the particle byF→when the particle moves directly from f to j?
