A certain spring is found not to conform to Hooke鈥檚 law. The force (in newtons) it exerts when stretched a distance x(in meters) is found to have magnitude 52.8x +38.4x2in the direction opposing the stretch. (a) Compute the work required to stretch the spring from x =0.500mto x = 1.00m. (b) With one end of the spring fixed, a particle of mass 2.17 kgis attached to the other end of the spring when it is stretched by an amount x = 1.00m. If the particle is then released from rest, what is its speed at the instant the stretch in the spring is x = 0.500m? (c) Is the force exerted by the spring conservative or nonconservative? Explain.

Short Answer

a. Work required to stretch the string from x = 0.500m to x = 1.00 m isWspring=31.0J

b. The speed of the particle when stretched from the x = 0.500 m is 5.35 m/s.

c. The spring force is conservative.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Force applied by the spring when stretched for a distance x is F =52.8x+38.4x2

The mass of the particle is m = 2.17 kg

Stretching due to the mass is x = 1.00 m

02

Understand the concept

By finding the integral of force and displacement we can find work done by the spring.

Using the value of work done we can find the velocity of the particle.

UsingW=K+Uwe can find that the spring force is conservative or non -conservative.

Formula:

W=xixfFdxK=12mv2U=mgh

03

(a) Calculate the work required to stretch the spring from x = 0.500m to x = 1.00m.

The work done can be estimated using the formula,

W=xixfFdx

Where F is the force and work done is estimated between the points x1 and x2. Therefore,

W=xixffdxJ=0.51(52.8x+38.4x2)dxJ=0.5152.8xdxJ+0.5138.4x2dxJ=52.82x20.51J+38.43x20.51J=(26.412-0.52)J+(12.813-0.53)J=31.0J

04

(b) Calculate the speed at the instant the stretch in the spring is x = 0.500m  

W=K=Kf-Ki

Ki=0since theparticle is released from rest, therefore, the above expression can be written as,

W=kf=12mv2

Rearranging the equation for velocity.

v=2Wm=231.0J2.17kg=5.35m/s

05

(c) Explain if the force exerted by the spring is conservative or nonconservative

Force is conservative since work done by the force is independent of the path it followed, it depends on the initial and final position of the particle.

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 400 N/m; the other end of the spring is fixed in place. The cookie has a kinetic energy of 20.0 Jas it passes through the spring鈥檚 equilibrium position. As the cookie slides, a frictional force of magnitude 10.0 Nacts on it. (a) How far will the cookie slide from the equilibrium position before coming momentarily to rest? (b) What will be the kinetic energy of the cookie as it slides back through the equilibrium position?
