Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The block’s change in mechanical energy is 8550J

b) The average rate at which energy is transferred to the block is 855W

c) The rate at which energy is transferred at 10m/s is 430 W

d) The rate at which energy is transferred at 30m/s is 1300 W

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The mass of the object is, m=15 kg

The acceleration of the block is,a=2m/s2

The initial speed is,vi=10m/s

The final speed is,vf=30m/s

The inclination angle is,θ=5°

02

Understanding the concept of energy

We can use the law of conservation to find total energy. Then use the formula for power, which is the ratio of work and time. Instantaneous rate is the multiplication of mechanical energy and velocity.

Formulae:

The total energy of the system,T.E.=K.E.+P.E. (1)

The third equation of kinematic motion,vf2=vi2+2ax (2)

The average power of a body,Pavg=wt (3)

The instantaneous power of a body,P=F.v (4)

The first equation of kinematic motion,vf=vi+at (5)

03

a) Calculation of change in mechanical energy of the block

Using equation (2) and the given data, we can get the horizontal distance value as:

30m/s2=10m/s2+2×2m/s2×xx=800m2/s24m/s2x=200m

Using this value and the value of the angle, we can findtheheight as follows:

h=³æ²õ¾±²Ôθ=200msin5°=17m

Change in mechanical energy using equations (1) and (2) is given as:

∆ME=0.5mvf2-0.5mvi2+mgh=0.5×15kg30m/s2-10m/s2+15kg×10m/s2×17m=8550kg.m2/s21J1kg.m2/s2=8550J

Hence, the value of energy is 8550J.

04

b) Calculation of the average rate of energy transfer

The time taken for the transfer is given using equation (5):

30m/s=10m/s+2m/s2t=10s

Now, the average rate of energy transfer can be given using equation (3):

Pavg=8550J10s=855J/s1W1J/s=855W

Hence, the required rate of transfer is 855 W.

05

c) Calculation of energy transfer at 10 m/s

The instantaneous rate of energy atcan be given using equation (4):

P=ma+mgsin5×10m/s=15kg×2m/s2+15kg×10m/s2sin5°×10m/s=430W

Hence, the value of the power is 430W.

06

d) Calculation of energy transfer at 30 m/s

The instantaneous rate of energy at 30 m/s can be given using equation (4):

P=ma+mgsin5×30m/s=15kg×2m/s2+15kg×10m/s2sin5°×30m/s=1300W

Hence, the value of the power is 1300 W.

A 0.63 kg ball thrown directly upward with an initial speed of 14 m/s reaches a maximum height of 8.1 m . What is the change in the mechanical energy of the ball–Earth system during the ascent of the ball to that maximum height?

The maximum force you can exert on an object with one of your back teeth is about 750 N. Suppose that as you gradually bite on a clump of licorice, the licorice resists compression by one of your teeth by acting like a spring for which k=2.5×105N/m. Find (a) the distance the licorice is compressed by your tooth and (b) the work the tooth does on the licorice during the compression. (c) Plot the magnitude of your force versus the compression distance. (d) If there is a potential energy associated with this compression, plot it versus compression distance. In the 1990s the pelvis of a particular Triceratops dinosaur was found to have deep bite marks. The shape of the marks suggested that they were made by a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur. To test the idea, researchers made a replica of a T. rex tooth from bronze and aluminum and then used a hydraulic press to gradually drive the replica into cow bone to the depth seen in the Triceratops bone. A graph of the force required versus depth of penetration is given in Fig. 8-71 for one trial; the required force increased with depth because, as the nearly conical tooth penetrated the bone, more of the tooth came in contact with the bone. (e) How much work was done by the hydraulic press—and thus presumably by the T. rex—in such a penetration? (f) Is there a potential energy associated with this penetration? (The large biting force and energy expenditure attributed to the T. rex by this research suggest that the animal was a predator and not a scavenger.)

A conservative force F→=(6.0x-12)i^Nwhere xis in meters, acts on a particle moving along an xaxis. The potential energy Uassociated with this force is assigned a value of 27J at x=0. (a) Write an expression for Uas a function of x, with Uin joules and xin meters. (b) what is the maximum positive potential energy? At what (c) negative value (d) positive value of xis the potential energy equal to zero?

A stone with a weight of 52.9 Nis launched vertically from ground level with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s, and the air drag on it is 0.265 Nthroughout the flight. What are (a) the maximum height reached by the stone and (b) Its speed just before it hits the ground?

Figure 8-19 gives the potential energy function of a particle. (a) Rank regions AB, BC, CD, and DE according to the magnitude of the force on the particle, greatest first. What value must the mechanical energyEmecof the particle not exceed if the particle is to be (b) trapped in the potential well at the left, (c) trapped in the potential well at the right, and (d) able to move between the two potential wells but not to the right of point H? For the situation of (d), in which of regions BC, DE, and FG will the particle have (e) the greatest kinetic energy and (f) the least speed?
