A particle can move along only an xaxis, where conservative forces act on it (Fig. 8-66 and the following table). The particle is released at x = 5.00 mwith a kinetic energy ofK = 14.0 Jand a potential energy of U = 0. If its motion is in the negative direction of the xaxis, what are its (a) K and (b) U at x 2.00 mand its (c)K and (d) U at x = 0? If its motion is in the positive direction of the xaxis, what are its (e) K and (f) U at x = 11.0 m, its (g) K and (h) U at x = 12.0 m, and its (i) K and (j) U at x = 13.0 m? (k) Plot U(x) versus x for the range x = 0to x = 13.0 m

Next, the particle is released from rest at x = 0. What are (l) its kinetic energy at xand (m) the maximum positive positionxmaxit reaches? (n) What does the particle do after it reachesxmax?

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Initial position of particlex=5m
  2. Kinetic energy atx5isK5=14J.
  3. Potential energy at x5isU5=0J.
02

Determine the formulas:

The problem is based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. According to this principle the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature. For the conservative system, mechanical energy of the system is conserved. Using this, we can find the potential energies at different locations.

Formula:

E=K+U

03

Calculate its (a) K and (b) U at x = 2.00 m if the particle’s motion is in the negative direction of the x axis

The work fromx=3.0m to x = 2.0 m is

W=F2x=5.00-1.00=-5.00J.

so the potential energy atx=2.00misU2=+5.00J

Since mechanical energy is conserved, we have Emax=14.0J, so the kinetic energy atx=2.00mis

K2=Emax-U2=14.0-5.00=9.0J

04

Calculate its (c) K and (d) U at x = 0.00m if the particle’s motion is in the negative direction of the x axis

The work from x = 2.00 m to x =0 m is

W=F1x=3.00-2.00,=-6.00J

so the potential energy at x = 0 m is

U0=6.00J+U2=6.00+5.00J=11.0J

So, the kinetic energy atK0=Emax-U0=14.0-11.0J=3.00J.

05

Calculate its (e) K and (f) U at x = 11.00 m if the particle’s motion is in the positive direction of the x axis

The work from x = 8.00 m to x = 11.0 m is

W=F3x=-4.003.00=-12.0J,

so the potential energy at x = 11.0 m isU1=12.0J .

The kinetic energy at x = 11.0 m is

K11=Emax-U11=14.0-12.0J=2.00J

06

Calculate its (g) K and (h) U at x = 12.00 m if the particle’s motion is in the positive direction of the x axis

Solve for the work as:

W=F4x=-1.001.00=-1.00J,

So the potential energy at x = 12.0 m is

U12=1.00J+U11=1.00+12.0J=13.0J

Thus, the kinetic energy at x = 12.0 m is

K12=Emax-U12=14.0-13.0=1.00J

07

Calculate its (i) K and (j) U at x = 13.00 m if the particle’s motion is in the positive direction of the x axis 

There is no work done in this interval from x = 12.0 m to x = 13.0 m. So, the potential energy at x = 13.0 m is U13=13.0J

There is no work done in this interval from x = 12.0 m to x = 13.0 m. So, the kinetic energy at x 13.0 m. isK13=1.0J

08

(k) Plot U(x) versus x for the range x = 0 to x = 13.0 m

Plot U(x) versus xfor the range t x = 0 m to x 13 m.

We can say from the graph that the particle is 鈥渇alling鈥 down the 0 < x < 3 slopes of the well, gaining kinetic energy as it does so, and is certainly able to reach x = 5. SinceU = 0 at x = 5 , then its initial potential energy has completely converted to kinetic energy K = 11.0J

This is not sufficient to climb up and out of the well on the large x side (x > 8), but does allow it to reach a 鈥渉eight鈥 of 11 at x = 10.8 m. This is a 鈥渢urning point鈥 of the motion.

When the particle is stopped at x = 10.8 m, it is accelerated to the left by the force it gains enough speed as a result that it is eventually able to return to x = 0, where it stops again.

09

(l) Determine the value of the kinetic energy as:

Determine the work done on the particle from 0 m to 5 m as:

W=F1d1cos+F2d2cos=32cos0+51cos0=11J

Since, the force is conservative determine the negative work done on the particle as:

-W=U5-U0-W=0-U0U0=W=11J

Determine the total value of the kinetic energy as:

ETotal=K0+U0=0+11=11J

Determine the kinetic energy at x = 5 m as:

ETotal=K5+U5K5=11J

10

(m) Determine the maximum positive position Xmax 

Consider the maximum positive position of the particle for it to reach the 0 kinetic energy is when the particle potential energy is equal to the total energy that is 11 J.

From the graph obtained in part (k)

The value is

Ux=11JXmax=11m

11

(n) Determine what the particle does after it reaches Xmax 

Consider as the particle reaches Xmaxit starts travelling to the left by the force F3and start gaining the kinetic energy in that direction.

Then, the particle returns back to x3=0mand at this position the kinetic energy of the particle becomes zero again and then it stops.

A volcanic ash flow is moving across horizontal ground when it encounters a10upslope. The front of the flow then travels 920 mup the slope before stopping. Assume that the gases entrapped in the flow lift the flow and thus make the frictional force from the ground negligible; assume also that the mechanical energy of the front of the flow is conserved. What was the initial speed of the front of the flow?

When a click beetle is upside down on its back, it jumps upward by suddenly arching its back, transferring energy stored in a muscle to mechanical energy. This launching mechanism produces an audible click, giving the beetle its name. Videotape of a certain click-beetle jump shows that a beetle of mass m=4.010-6kgmoved directly upward by 0.77 mm during the launch and then to a maximum heighth = 0.30 m. During the launch, what are the average magnitudes of (a) the external force on the beetles back from the floor and (b) the acceleration of the beetle in terms of g?

A metal tool is sharpened by being held against the rim of a wheel on a grinding machine by a force of 180 N. The frictional forces between the rim and the tool grind off small pieces of the tool.
