A 0.42 kgshuffleboard disk is initially at rest when a player uses a cue to increase its speed to 4.2 m/sat constant acceleration. The acceleration takes place over a 2.0 mdistance, at the end of which the cue loses contact with the disk. Then the disk slides an additional 12 mbefore stopping. Assume that the shuffleboard court is level and that the force of friction on the disk is constant. What is the increase in the thermal energy of the disk–court system (a) for that additional 12 mand (b) for the entire 14 mdistance? (c) How much work is done on the disk by the cue?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Increase in thermal energy of the disk-court system for additional 12m is 3.7 J .

b) Increase in thermal energy of the disk-court system for the entire 14m is 4.3 J .

c) Work done on the disk by the cue is 4.3 J

Step by step solution

01

The given data

a) Mass of the disk, m = 0.42kg

b) Initial speed of the disk,vi=0m/s

c) Final speed of the disk,vf=4.2m/s

d) Distance at which acceleration takes place,d=2m

e) Additional distance of slide,x=12m

f) Distance,x=14m

Understanding the concept of work-energy principle

We use the concept of the work-energy principle. For the given distance, we can find an increase in thermal energy by work done. To find an increase in thermal energy for the entire distance, we find the frictional force, and then using it, we can find the thermal energy increased.

Formulae:

The net work done by the body,W=12mvf2-12mvi2 (i)

The work done due to applied force, W=F.d (ii)

03

a) Calculation of the increase in thermal energy of the disk-court system

We know work done is the change in kinetic energy of the Shuffleboard. Here, increase in thermal energy is work done by frictional force. Thus, the increased thermal energy of the system for 12m is given by using the given data in equation (i) as:

Wf=120.424.22-120.4202=3.7J

Hence, the value of the increase in thermal energy is.

04

b) Calculation of the increase in thermal energy of the disk-court system

The friction force acting in the system is given using the above energy value in equation (ii) as:

f×12=3.7f=3.712=0.31J

For the entired1=14m , we get the increase in thermal energy as work done by frictional force is given using equation (ii) as:

Eth=0.31×14=4.34J≈4.3J

Hence, the value of the increased thermal energy is 4.3 J .

05

c) Calculation of the work done on the disk by the cue

Work done by the cue is the increase in thermal energy and work done by frictional force is given as follows:

Wcue=3.7+0.312.0=4.3J

Hence, the value of the work done is 4.3 J .

(Figure (a))applies to the spring in a cork gun (Figure (b)); it shows the spring force as a function of the stretch or compression of the spring. The spring is compressed by 5.5 cm and used to propel a 3.8 g cork from the gun. (a) What is the speed of the cork if it is released as the spring passes through its relaxed position? (b) Suppose, instead, that the cork sticks to the spring and stretches it 1.5 cm before separation occurs. What now is the speed of the cork at the time of release?

When a click beetle is upside down on its back, it jumps upward by suddenly arching its back, transferring energy stored in a muscle to mechanical energy. This launching mechanism produces an audible click, giving the beetle its name. Videotape of a certain click-beetle jump shows that a beetle of mass m=4.0×10-6kgmoved directly upward by 0.77 mm during the launch and then to a maximum heighth = 0.30 m. During the launch, what are the average magnitudes of (a) the external force on the beetles back from the floor and (b) the acceleration of the beetle in terms of g?

Resistance to the motion of an automobile consists of road friction, which is almost independent of speed, and air drag, which is proportional to speed-squared. For a certain car with a weight of 12,000 N, the total resistant force, Fis given by F=300+1.8v2, with Fin newton, and, v in meters per second. Calculate the power (in horsepower) required to accelerate the car at0.92m/s2when the speed is 80 km/h.
