A horizontal force of magnitude 35.0 Npushes a block of mass 4.00 kgacross a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.600. (a) How much work is done by that applied force on the block-floor system when the block slides through a displacement of 3.00 macross the floor? (b) During that displacement, the thermal energy of the block increases by40.0 J. What is the increase in thermal energy of the floor? (c) What is the increase in the kinetic energy of the block?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done by the applied force on the block-floor system W=105 J.
  2. The amount of increase in thermal energy of the floor ∆Ethfloor=30.6J.
  3. The increase in the kinetic energy of the block∆K=34.4J

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given Data

The mass of block is m = 4.00 kg

The magnitude of horizontal force is F = 35.0 N

The coefficient of kinetic friction isμk=0.600

The displacement of the block across the floor is d = 3.00 m

The increase in thermal energy of the block is∆EthTblock=40.0J

02

Determining the concept

To solve this problem, use the equation of work done by the external force to calculate work. For the increase in thermal energy, use the equation of work due to friction force. For the increase in kinetic energy used, the equation for work relating with change in mechanical energy and change in thermal energy.

Formulae are as follow:

W=F.d∆Eth=fkdW=∆Emec+∆Eth

Where,∆Emec is change in mechanical energy, ∆Ethis change in thermal energy, d is displacement, F,fk are forces and W is work done.

Step 3(a): Determining the work done by the applied force on the block-floor system

Now,

W = F.d

So,

W=35.0×3.00W=105J

Hence, the work done by the applied force on the block-floor system W = 105 J.

Step 4(b): Determining the amount of increase in thermal energy of the floor

Now,

∆Eth=fkd

Hence, the amount of increase in thermal energy oftheblock-floor system is,

∆Eth=μkmgd=0.600×4.00×9.81×3.00∆Eth=70.6J

Now,

∆Ethfloor=∆Eth-∆Ethblock

So,

∆Ethfloor=∆Eth-∆Ethblock=70.6-40.0∆Ethfloor=30.6J

Hence, the amount of increase in thermal energy of the floor, ∆Ethfloor=30.6J.

05

Step 5(c): Determining the increase in the kinetic energy of the block

The work done on the system is equal to the sum of change in the mechanical energy and change in thermal energy of system. So,

W=∆Emec+AEth∆Emec=W-∆Eth=105-70.6∆Emec=34.4J

As the motion of the block is across the floor, there is no change in the potential energy of the block. So,

∆Emec=34.4J

Hence,the increase in the kinetic energy of the block,∆K=34.4J

Therefore, the change in kinetic energy of the block and the change in thermal energy of the floor along with the work done can be found using the corresponding equations.

Two blocks, of masses M = 2.0 kgand 2M, are connected to a spring of spring constantk = 200 N/mthat has one end fixed, as shown in Fig. 8-69. The horizontal surface and the pulley has negligible mass. The blocks are released from rest with the spring relaxed. (a) What is the combined kinetic energy of the two blocks when the hanging block has fallen 0.090m? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the hanging block when it has fallen that 0.090m ?(c) What maximum distance does the hanging block fall before momentarily stopping?

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?

In Fig. 8-65, a 1400 kgblock of granite is pulled up an incline at a constant speed of 1.34 m/sby a cable and winch. The indicated distances are d1=40mandd2=30. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.40. What is the power due to the force applied to the block by the cable?

In Fig.8.52, a 3.5 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 640 N/m. The block leaves the spring at the spring’s relaxed length and then travels over a horizontal floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk=0.25.The frictional force stops the block in distance D = 7.8 m. What are (a) the increase in the thermal energy of the block–floor system (b) the maximum kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the original compression distance of the spring?


In Fig. 8-25, a block slides along a track that descends through distance h. The track is frictionless except for the lower section. There the block slides to a stop in a certain distance Dbecause of friction. (a) If we decrease h, will the block now slide to a stop in a distance that is greater than, less than, or equal to D? (b) If, instead, we increase the mass of the block, will the stopping distance now be greater than, less than, or equal to D?
