91Ó°ÊÓ

The temperature of a plastic cube is monitored while the cube is pushed 3.0 macross a floor at constant speed by a horizontal force of 15 N. The thermal energy of the cube increases by 20 J. What is the increase in the thermal energy of the floor along which the cube slides?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Increase in thermal energy of floor,Eth(floor)=25J

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Displacement of the cube d = 3.0 m
  2. Force applied to the cubeFapp=15N
  3. increase in thermal energy of cube∆Eth(cube)=20J
02

To understand the concept

Here the block and floor form a system. Use the concept that the total increase in thermal energy of the system is the sum of the increase in thermal energy of the cube and the floor.

Formula:

∆Eth(system)=∆Eth(cube)+∆Eth(floor)

03

Calculate the increase in the thermal energy of the floor along which the cube slides

Work done by applied force:

Wapp=FdcosϕWapp=15×3cos0Wapp=45J(i)Wapp=increaseintheheatenergyofthesystemUsingequation(i)andgivenvalue,Wapp=∆Eth(cube)+∆Eth(floor)45=20+∆Eth(floor)∆Eth(floor)=45-20∆Eth(floor)=25J

Figure 8-34 shows a thin rod, of length L=2.00m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A ball of mass m=5.00kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angleθ0=30.0° and released with initial velocity v→0=0. As the ball descends to its lowest point, (a) how much work does the gravitational force do on it and (b) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the ball–Earth system? (c) If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the lowest point, what is its value just as the ball is released? (d) Do the magnitudes of the answers to (a) through (c) increase, decrease, or remain the same if angleθ0 is increased?

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?

In a circus act, a 60 kgclown is shot from a cannon with an initial velocity of60 m/s at some unknown angle above the horizontal. A short time later the clown lands in a net that is 3.9 mvertically above the clown’s initial position. Disregard air drag. What is the kinetic energy of the clown as he lands in the net?

A60.0 kgcircus performer slides4.00 mdown a pole to the circus floor, starting from rest.

What is the kinetic energy of the performer as she reaches the floor if the frictional force on her from the pole (a) is negligible (she will be hurt) and (b) has a magnitude of 500 N ?

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?
