A cookie jar is moving up an 40incline. At a point 55 cm from the bottom of the incline (measured along the incline), the jar has a speed of 1.4 m/s . The coefficient of kinetic friction between jar and incline is 0.15 . (a) How much farther up the incline will the jar move? (b) How fast will it be going when it has slid back to the bottom of the incline? (c) Do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same if we decrease the coefficient of kinetic friction (but do not change the given speed or location)?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The distance travelled by the cookie jar up the incline = 0.13 m
  2. The final speed of the cookie jar as it reaches the bottom of the incline again is 2.7 m/s
  3. The change in the distance travelled and final speed of the jar if the coefficient of friction is decreased : both the distance travelled and the final speed will increase

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The distance travelled by the jar up the inclined1=55cm=0.55m

The speed of the block at distanced1up the incline,v0=1.4m/s

The angle of the incline with the horizontal = 400

The coefficient of friction,k=0.15

02

Understanding the concept of conservation of energy

The jar moving up the incline gains potential energy. At a given point on the incline, it has acquired kinetic energy as well as potential energy. But it loses some of its energy to the friction between the jar and the surface. Hence, after reaching a certain distance, it will stop. When it starts sliding down again, its potential energy will be converted partly to kinetic energy and some energy will be spent as thermal energy. Thus, we use the principle of conservation of energy to determine the distance travelled and the speed of the jar.

Formula:

K.E=12mv2

P.E=mghEth=Ffd

Step 3(a): Calculation of the distance travelled by the jar up the incline

Using the diagram of the incline, we can write,

sin40=hd2h=d2sin40

And

N = mg cos40

Now, using the conservation of energy principle,

K.E.atbottom=P.Eath+Eth

localid="1661399464250" 12mv2=mgh+Nd212mv2=mgsin40+mgcos40d2

Simplify by cancelling out m and collecting similar terms together to get

sin40+cos40d2=v22g0.64+0.150.77d2=1.9629.8d2=0.10.76=0.13m

Hence, the distance travelled by the cookie is 0.13 m

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of the final speed of cookie jar as it reaches to bottom of incline

Now, the total distance travelled by the jar on the incline is

d=d1+d2=0.55+0.13=0.68m

So, when the cookie starts sliding back to the ground, the conservation of energy law gives

P.Etop=Eth+K.EfK.Ef=P.Etop-Eth

12mvf2=mgh-Nd12mvf2=mgdsin-40mgcos40d12mvf2=gdsin40-cos40vf2=29.80.680.64-0.150.77vf2=2.65m/s=2.7m/s

Hence, the final speed of the cookie is 2.7 m/s

05

Step 5(c): Explain the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same

When the coefficient of friction decreases, the energy loss as a result of friction will be less. Hence, the jar will travel more distance on the incline before coming to rest.

As the jar can reach a higher distance, its potential energy is also more. This results in more kinetic energy of the jar when it reaches the bottom. This, in turn, gives more speed to the jar.
