Determining the concept

The problem deals with the law of conservation of energy. According to the law of energy conservation, energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed. By using the principle of conservation of energy, calculate the kinetic energy at any point along the path of the particle using conservation of energy. Then, using the equation of kinetic energy, calculate the speed at the required position. To find the position of the turning point, consider the slope of the line having the point of potential energy greater than total energy and less than total energy.

Formulae are as follow:

U1+K1=U2+K2K=12mv2

where, K is kinetic energy, Uis potential energy, m is mass and vis velocity.

03

(a) Determining the speed of the particle at x = 3.5 m

The position x = 3.5 has potential energy, UA=9.00J

The equation for conservation of mechanical energy is,

U1+K1=U2+K2

Applying this equation for the potential UAandUB

localid="1661400948788" UB+KB=UA+KASolvingthisequationforKA,KA=UB+KB-UA=12.00+4.00-9.00=7.00J

Now,

K=12mv2

Rearranging it for velocity v,

v=2Km=27.000.200v=8.37m/s

Hence, the speed of the particle at x = 3.5 m is, v = 8.37 m/s

04

(b) Determining the speed of the particle at x =6.5 m

At the position, x = 6.5, the potential energy is zero. So, the kinetic energy at this position will be equal to the total energy of a particle. So,

K=UB+UBK=12.00+4.00=16.00JNow,usingtheequationforvelocityrelatingkineticenergy,v=2Km=216.000.200v=12.6m/s

Hence, the speed of the particle at x =6.5 m is, v = 12.6 m/s.

05

(c) Determining the position of the turning point on the right side

At the turning point, kinetic energy of a particle is zero. This can happen when its potential energy is equal to the total mechanical energy.

Let us consider the motion of a particle from x = 7 m to x = 8m.

As the potential energy at x= 7m is 0J and at x =8m is UD=24.00J. The turning point must lie in this region as the total energy is 16.00 J.

The slope of line AC can be expressed as,

16.00-0xR-7.0=24.00-08.0-7.0BysolvingthisequationofxR,xR=7.67m

Hence, the position of the turning point on the right side is, xR=7.67m.

06

(d) Determining the position of the turning point on the left side

Applying the same logic as part c for the left side, let us consider the motion of a particle

from x = 1m to x= 3 m.

The slope of line PR can be expressed as,

20.00-9.001.0-3.0=16.00-9.00xL=3.0SolvingthisequationofxL,xL=1.73M

Hence,the position of the turning point on the left side, xL=1.73m.

Therefore,the speed of a particle at any position can be found using the equation of conservation of energy. To calculate the turning point, the slope of the line can be used

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?)
